Joey Bags wrote:I've been a packrat my whole EvE career and have recently been traveling around EvE liquidating many of my assets. Mostly because I try looking for something I know I have somewhere and can't find it so I would end up buying another (I've misplaced more than a few battleships that way). Yes, I could have used filters but that's like three extra clicks but anyway...
I came across the third ship I ever owned (a wreathe) that I bought in June, 2008. It got me thinking how old is eveyones oldest ship? I left my wreathe in place with the trit I had in the hold just as a reminder of when I first got going. BTW I am frankly surprised at how much stuff I had (have) scattered around. I'll have to get me a new shiny with all the ISK...
I have a Machariel that is the 4th Mach I ever bought. I bought it for incursion running, got tired of that, used for for mission running, later I took it out to null sec to rat with, then re-rigged it for PVP (used it in alliance fleets instead of a Tempest Fleet Issue), eventually brought it back to empire to run missions with, and now I use it on an alt for Incursion Running.
In one fight in null I got down to half hull before I caught reps, and while doing an anomaly in null I got caught by a ceptor because I was stuck on a rock, and his buddies came in and got me down to 5% structure before my buddy in a remote rep Dominix and me were able to chase them off. I've decided not to press my luck further and keep it in high sec.
If you ever find yourself in an Incursion fleet next to beat up looking Machariel named "The Survivor", that'll be me  |

I still own a Nidhogger I got in 2006. And it has been pointed, cyno'd on, chased, bumped off stations and even spent several hours AFK smartbombing.
The rusty shitbox just wont die.
These days I take better care of it in it's old age

As I skill into better ships, I buy newer ships and sell the old ones. I try to only have a couple of ships per jump clone.

Tempest Fleet Issue that I bought with LP back in 2005. Back then it was a pretty big accomplishment and I could have sold it for over a billion ISK, but I just love the TFI model too much to sell my first one.
Every time they change the graphical model of it, I go back to where it's parked and sit in it to admire its majestic verticality. |

A horror fit Tristan (only 2011 or so) that was quickly abandoned for T1 module cruisers and battlecruisers.
I pulled up short of going full derp newbie and only got a battleship later when I wanted one to close worm hole exits.

My Ashimmu and Fleet Stabber both had large rigs until they were recently repackaged. I even got a couple kills with them, but never really used them in serious PvP.
One of my Pilgrims had large rigs until the ship stats changed and I switched them out for something else. This one has a few kills to it's name as well, but of course you pick your fights carefully with such a brick-like ship.
I sold off all my Highsec assets except for faction ships and my Pilgrims after joining Karmafleet, so I think the Pilgrim that had the large rigs is the oldest extant ship in my inventory, dating most likely to 2008.

My oldest ship is my Dramiel. I got it on the 2nd week playing, a day after I found another one that I gave away.
Whole story about it:
Here I am, trying out scanning for the first time, use a probe, scan down stuff, get my rifter, kill stuff, collect loot.
I feel pretty good doing this, then suddenly, while doing a dedplex with my rifter, I get my first escalation. I had no idea what
they were back then, but hey, it sounded nice, more people to kill for lewts!
so i run the escalation site, then continue to the next, the final site was in low sec however, and I had a feeling it was also above what my rifter could handle, so I ask a friend of mine who I asked to join me in Eve to come along. A few days before
this friend who likes to look at all kinds of stuff, had shown me the dramiel frigate and said WE NEED TO GET SOME OF THESE THEY ARE AWESOME!
And I had looked at the price and told her, it was going to take months to ever afford that.
We enter low sec, and run the final site, and the boss drops.. a dramiel BPC.
So my math went as follows: I could sell it and we'd both be 30M richer, which at the time was a LOT of money for me.
OR, we could build it and fly it, which was probably going to be a hell lot of fun. The last seemed like a much better option, so I build it and give it to her, making her very happy.
The day after that, I finally had learned how to fly a cruiser, so I equipped my mining cruiser, feeling very happy with it, as now I had missile launchers to shoot rats with during level 2 mining missions, and I no longer would have to dock up my burst ( back then a mining frig ), grab my thrasher or rifter and shoot the rats, before going back to mining.
I go into my first mining site, and after a little while, the rats appear. However, they weren't the regular rats, it was a dominion and 4 of his guardian buddies. one 'epic' battle later, with me being halfway in hull at the end, they are all dead, and I fly over to the dominion fully expecting just some ammo.
To my surprise, he was carrying a Dramiel BPC.
Obviously my good karma reward for making my friend very happy by building and giving her that other one, I built it, and I still have that dramiel today.
It's also fitted with my first bit of dedspace loot I ever found in a static plex, a 1MN B-type Gistii AB. I've upgraded the guns to tech 2, and upgraded the drones, but otherwise, it's all still got the same fittings as it got when I put it together.
I still take it out sometimes for a little spin. I used to use it to run a 1/10 plex that was in the area I now live in.
( and got myself a daredevil BPC that I still haven't built yet )

Iteron V I've had since I was able to pilot them. So ... somewhere around 4.5-5yrs now. This thread makes me wish you could get battle scarred skins for ships that have been in service for a while. Say you have a ship, especially an active combat vessel, that you've had knocking around EVE for more than a year or so. You automatically get a "Battle Scarred" skin for that ship and only that ship. I would shop scarring and blast marks, pieces of patch work where the hull and armor had been replaced, different colored armor plates that have been replaced and overhauled through out the years. I mean how cool would that be.

Drake from 2007. I have a Web Loki from the start of 2012 which has been used in every single CFC/Imperium campaign apart from the latest Delve war which I'm surprised has lived considering the number of 500+ man fights it's been in. |

I believe my oldest ship is my Helios which still has large rigs and first took flight around 2008, also around this time while practicing scanning I had a GÇÿhitGÇÖ on a ship (my first proper scan).
On arriving at the GÇÿhitGÇÖ I found an abandoned (or parked) fully fitted and loaded Bestower, and I couldnGÇÖt even fly the thing.
I made a quick trip back to station and trained up the skills to fly it, (I remember I could barely afford the skill-books), all the time wondering if anyone else would either come back for it or find it.
I still have that ship and have a sort of attachment to it now even if itGÇÖs GÇÿjust a bunch of pixelsGÇÖ.
