My most vivid memories are:
Shooting a drone in an asteriod field in my first cruiser (Exequror), and being chased around the system by Concord before docking.
Chaining barons in Thorax in S-U.
Undocking in an uninsured Dominix in YZ-LQL the day Evolution, Xanadu, OEC? came to take over Fountain and promptly losing it.
The day Shades, Slack Corp (my old corp), Stoners, Raptus Regaliter, et al created the JQA.
First day in Venal being chased by Evolution and then being welcomed to Oberon by Halseth.
My old pre-castor Scorpion with the manuverability of a cruiser.
Fleet fights in BKG and the conga - my Raven is the last in the line in postcard vid.
Taranis fights - still my favourite ship
A very long night followed with a defenseless egg sitting in 16p and a VC gang wandering Esoteria within a couple of jumps of it. We had seen what ASCN were up to and brought forward plans to build our Outpost to the next downtime. Unfortunately the tower we had put up in WX was not claiming sovereignty so we put it up in 16p where Adeptus gattacus were claiming sovereignty. :)
Oberon - its members past and current who have contributed so much. So many great moments, great disasters and great people.

I remember seeing my first bs after about a week in game, i stared at it for about a half hour and had a nice chat with the owner.
I remember mining for my first cruiser, a several weeklong affair. That was the last time i mined.
I remember running escort missions in my caracal towards saving for my bs (at the time, they were big. really big)
I remember losing my first bs to a gatecamp in delve after attempting to rat in 0.0 (This was shortler before there was any BS rats in 0.0 at all, if i remember)
I remember going pirate. The thrill of the kill and rush of the chase nearly gave me a heart attack the first few times. One of my best (and first) fights ever was my maller verse a ferox(2 days after battlecruisers were released i think) It ended up in a tie, neither of us breaking each others tank.
I remember my pirating spree in molden heath, i was averaging 2 battleship kills a day. Namtz kept trying to assasinate me and trap me, a few times they succeeded, sometimes they had me right where they wanted me and i still butchered them.
I remember when i got t2 large guns, the thrill of hitting for 600 + a hit was enormous.
And as of late, i remember buying my carrier. ---------------------------

I remember getting ganked by Moo in A0-(Querious) with my corpmate - us getting the great idea to go and "mine" (the kind that go boom!) the exit point of their closest office HQ. We loaded up haulers with the mines and then spent over an hour just dropping mines out of the hauler at the exit point of the station. Literally we dropped 1000 mines around the enterance of the station.
One of Moo's players (I forget who now it has been so long) undocked in his Dominix while we were sitting there watching. The mines blew up like crazy and took out his ship and pod. We giggled hysterically on team speak - then we were insta ganked by the Khanid Navy at the gate for now having a -9 security rating due to the sec loss of "attacking" in a 0.4 sec system.
Took a large chunk of my isk to "pay" my agent to fix my secuirty status and stop noobs from calling me a pirate in empire.
These features sadly were nerfed in the next patch and have never come back to the game.......... |

I will ALWAYS, ALWAYS remember my first PvP kill. I was maybe 2 months old. In a pimping Caracal, part of Imperium. I wanted to see what this pvp fuss was about so I flew down to YZ-LQL. I sat at the gate leading towards Outer Ring and waited, and waited. Eventually two interceptors, a Claw and Crow if I remember right attacked me. They got into web range and it was all over in less then 30 seconds.I was ELATED, I was told it took months upon months to get into Interceptors and I just killed two of them in a cruiser! Then alot of stuff warped in on me like 10 minutes later and super ganked me :(. My first video!

Very nice post mate. With all the gripes and moans and incredibly boring slanderous political rubbish going on elsewhere it's refreshing to read something positive.
As for remembering things... well I'm kinda new so I probably don't remember much of direct importance. I do remember the quiet squeak of fear as I first undocked my Ibis and floated about randomly.
I certainly remember being ganked by Cereal Killerz in my oh-so-poorly fitted Scorpion (shield+armor tank, torps and some autocannons) whilst ratting in 0.4.
Congrats to Veto, I've always thought you guys were pretty awesome; certainly one of my first eve-memories was one of your films which made me start tinkering with Adobe Premiere.

I remember Omber in 1.0 Caldari starter systems a mining solid for my whole first week of play just to get a better ship (this week intensive mining is one of the things that resulted in me quitting for about a year 3 months into launch)
I remember Gneiss in 0.6 Caldari space and having to ninja mine it because the rats were soooooo hard
I remember finally working out that the old roid scanner didn't really refresh the view (it just updated it) after wondering for ages why that Gneiss roid showing on the scanner wasn't there!
I remember static loot cans at various stellar objects (gates, wrecks, hollow roids etc) and NPC's guarding them
I remember flying a Merlin with an arty's and laser on it

Edited by: Smagd on 07/02/2007 11:17:38 All right, I'll have a go then.
I remember visiting Randuin Maral and watching him play EvE four hours away from where I live, till almost two years later I upgraded my own PC to EVE specs.
I remember Zoral Qu zapping my Rifter in a random low sec while looting juicy jetcans near a gate. Then I warped away my pod, but couldn't remember which gate I'd come from so gambled on it being another one than the autopilot wanted me to use to get back. Well uh, of course it wasn't. I learned about insuring my clone that day.
I remember tailing the Xetic leaders in a cloud of two hundred ships during their inauguration speech in my reporter shuttle, and getting bumped away by their fleet commander.
I remember a help call from a corp mate from Rens, so we went over there in our three best ships, two Cyclones and a Prophecy and staring at a battleship rat 150 kms from the Ryddinjorn gate. The corp mate had tried out a level 4 agent and neglected to inform us of that fact. We warped out many a time, but eventually we gnawed down the battleship rat. Then two more spawned on top of us. Since each warp out brought the rats a couple kms closer to the gate, they eventually began camping the gate and in the end, UK Corp lost a ship and roused a mob to kill them.
I remember watching Ugluuk duel a Sacrilege in a Moa outside Rens Brutor Tribe Bureau before I knowing him from his vids, and holding steady until a Prophecy came in. I was so upset about the cheat I bought Ugluuk a new Moa.
I remember complimenting Doc Brown on the nice black Megathron he was flying through my home system Sasta in local, and then I got a convo from him and he told me where he got it, and what a Federate Issue Megathron was, and that he was bringing it to the market. To this day I regret not having a screenshot of that.
I remember winning a Caracal on DJ Storas Radio Roulette.
I remember my first solo level 3, in Cyclone with no active hardeners against a Duo of Death in Salashayama. Took me 5 hours over a downtime. I was mildly upset when the first battleship reappeared, but I could scratch 10% hull from it at each warp so I eventually wore then down. That Cyclone is one of the few combat ships that never died.
I remember the first time I ran five battleship builds at the same time, and then hiring an Obelisk to ship nineteen battleships to a market. I remember carrying around a Scrapmetal Reprocessing Skillbook for over a year till I could skill it.
I remember sneaking an hour of EVE time while I had visitors to watch my Corp erect their first POS. One of my visitors later painted an EVE oil painting.
I remember joining "Deveraux's Bar & Lounge" because I recognized that name from the Wing Commander games, and by that time I knew both Ikvar and Verone from their PR work and was utterly stunned to see them both sitting inside. I remember helping find Siren Shiva by checking all the names in local in a whole Region.
I remember having a party on Unity station in 9UY with INNOMINATE NIGHTMARE floating over it in my space suit and doing a "flying by falling down and missing the ground" impression, and I remember fixing my Amarr standing and going to Amarr to mine Veldspar for Chribba.
I remember bringing my first Tempest through low sec Derelik for my first POS gank, and, seeing two pirates near a gate managing to warp to the first best thing I could click, and while sorting the bookmark I dropped during warp a POS half-heartedly started shooting me, since I'd warped to a moon. I survived.
I remember jumping a Scorpion into a 20+ pirate camp in Aedald, and making it into warp before they could scramble me. Bless Minmatar jump gates.
I remember attacking a level 3 mission in a Hound, warping too close, getting ganked and buying a Thrasher with fittings from the local market and exerting bloody revenge in less than 30 minutes.
Well, huh. I could keep going for hours I guess.

Verone: I have to say I have been getting sick of all the whines lately. People fail to see how great eve really is. And I must say I fully agree with you. Sure eve has its quirks but over all it's the best game I've ever played.
To all you whiners: Stop for a second and think about what you're saying. And you might realise how great this game really is. ---------------------------

I remember being in Cornexant when they built the first ever Scorp battleship, then taking it to fight m0o and lossing it.
I remember when Armageddons with full rack of 250 Protos and damamged mods would destroy anything in seconds.
You could activate MWD whilst comming out of warp to keep max speed. Only way to try and get past the m0o gate camps
Guristas Ascribers was the most wanted NPC spawn
250 Proto was the best weapon
TTI most hated corp

Jumping into a new system but instead of loading at a gate, it was a certain spot in space instead
Seeing a battleship (Armageddon) for the first time with me sitting next to it in a shuttle thinking it was huge (no look at option back then)
Showing eve off to a friend, was in my osprey and wanted to show some missiles which i had just gotten the skills for so i shot this thing called concord, turns out they were the police and i quickly died with friend laughing at me

Edited by: Kaeten on 07/02/2007 13:13:01 I remember, station ping pong that lasted for weeks until fleets met in 1 massive battle (100-150peeps) to decide who would rule.
I remember space being so empty.
I remember chokehold systems you could never get around.
I remember mining in a thorax and getting blown up by a pirate.
I remember undocking in my first battleship, megathron(still have pictures).
I remember when belt piracy was a profession that pirates hounered.
I remember an eve without the day to day scammings and backstabbing.
I remember an eve where solo flying was an option.
I remember being a noob, picking up so much different loot and saying,"I wonder what you use this for?".
I remember when m0o was the feared people in eve.
I remember the massive alliance wars that would never stop.
I remember living in tpar-g alongside the rest of the population down there, having fun, mining, living in the moment with not a care in the world.
I remember starting my char not realising that charisma did nothing, I started with 11 BASE.
I remember being annoyed that real guns took ammo to shoot after switching from my civilian guns.
I remember doing missions in my veletor thinking,"I'm a space pilot! zooooom".
I remember thinking that there is more to eve than pvp...
I remember the old skool *Member of CFS* Alliance tags in bios.

I remember using cruise missiles in my kestrel but having to sc*****funds to afford them. (used to cost 10x as much to make)
I remember concord being something you could run from or even fight.
I remember 1 million being a lot of isk to me.
I remember thinking ships really needed bigger cargos as I attempted to fit every single range type of ammo in my cargo.
I remember joining veto thinking verone might be cool but being very disapointed (sorry had to slip it in there)
I remember arbalest siege launchers selling for like 40mil and modulated tachyons getting swapped for battleships.
I remember drones not having tracking and being the bane of all frigs.
I remember flying in curse fleets in a cavalry raven (think nano but better) and destroying fleets twice our size, ussually losing only a couple ships.
I remember my first out numbered fight, my self, frost88 and yuki li (blackbird, breacher, breacher) vs 6 pilots (4 ruptures 2 rifters) and killing them all without a single loss.
I remember when to be honest, people were a lot politer (probably to do with the fact a lot more peple fought due to flying mostly t1 setups, and not knowing who could kick your arse because everyone was more or less the same age)
I remember in game age actually being significant to me as even a two month older character could massively out skill me. and I remember being very proud of my 1 mil missile SP

I'm pretty new, but for memorable moments:
1) Getting into my first Crane. A hauler that flies like a cruiser! With a missile launcher! Hey, I wonder if I can use it as a Q-ship?
2) Blowing up my first mining barge ... in my Crane. Rapidly followed by my first cruiser kill ... in my Crane.
3) Losing my first Crane ... to a BattleBadger II who set me up, outsmarted me, and used my greed against me.
4) Getting away clean in a Bustard with 40,000 cubic meters of omber that, as the man says in Red Dragon, "I had not cultivated."
5) Looting a low-grade crystal implant from a can somebody else couldn't be bothered to loot.
6) And, yes, losing my first Caracal, and getting podded for the first and only time, while trying to meet up with some friends in a .4 system to run a complex. I have a short list, and Swiftness is on it.

I remember fighting fugazii's Cruise Rifter in my Torp Bellicose, it was a stalemate, but was a fun fight. I was ActiveX back then.
My first Battleship was a Tempest, forged in the ashes of a corp that started out as carebears and came out killers. Ended up selling that Tempest and buying a Typhoon, which was later lost by Dae'Shara in Reavers (a corp I still own despite attempts to buy it).
I remember losing a Torp Rupture to Sneaky Magik Inc that happened right as I docked, I ended up keeping the Rupture, but lost all the 'destroyed items'.
I remember my 10 MN Rifter that got insta wrecking popped by a 1400mm Scout at a range of 14 km in a perfect orbit.
I remember my first jaunt into 0.0 in an mwd Stabber. Ran a CA blockade and two SA blockades, never coming out of either with more than shield damage. I passed through NOL and AZN, neither of which had anyone or anything in them except rocks I couldnt mine.
I remember when Interceptors were expensive and new and the only t2 ships you could get and there weren't any t2 weapons.
About 3 monthes ago I went onto a character that I had made 2 years prior, and looked at the Maller I had on it...was using the best named gear, and some stuff that is embarassing to admit I fit...it was a screenshot at the past really.
I miss the old missiles, missile boats should have been changed, not missiles. _________________________ ~Thor Xian, Material Defender

1) Cruise kessies - warp to a2 gate in a maller at 80 to check ****z out and have half the CA gate in aforementioned kessie's on my butt in a heartbeat. My pod got away :) That was my first nonconsensual pvp engagement.
2) Discovering that I didn't have to leave the computer on and logged into Eve in order to continue training :D My wife was like "WHY is your computer on with this strange music coming out of it" when she got up the morning after the first day I was playing Eve. I learned of "daily downtime" at that point as well.
3) Building and selling my first BS and subsequently making my first billion from doing that.
4) Too many fights to remember where I actually structure tanked.
5) Picking up my first dread in Torrinos. It cost me 3 bil just for the ship!
6) Killing a whole bunch of BS and support with said dread in Teshkat. People in local saying "wtf, I though dreads weren't supposed to be able to do that!11!!" Caldari 4tw!
7) Being disappointed with the "size" of my first carrier, a chimera. "Dude, half of it is missing!"
8) Hitting the "board ship" button for my Wyvern as the Infinite Probability guys from D2 *****ed jokes about me wanting them "to hurry up and gimme my ship" :D <3 Phoenix Pryde and that crew!
9) Lastly and most importantly, the general sense I get that CCP understands the value of diversity and uniqueness in Eve. From the idea that you should be able to train whilst offline to the idea that not every ship HAS to be warp scrambleable, they seem to hold dear the ideal that "different is better" and leave it to the players to "solve the unsolveable!"

Its true eve is a great game and it has given me some great times as well. The first being my first kill, Acix in a crow with my blackbird ...back when missles always hit for full damage ... he capped out and about 3 volleys of heavies hit him at once.
Another memorable moment was seeing lord Zap mining in an apoc in 0.7 space ... that is something i will never forget.
I never think of the future - It comes soon enough |
