Verone Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.02.07 23:14:00 - [91] Some pretty impressive history has come about in this thread so far... thanks for sharing NEWEST MOVIE : VETO FOR HIRE
Kerushi Caldari Black Thorne Corporation	Posted - 2007.02.07 23:18:00 - [92] getting scammed by the gm`s 3x cap rig I hyperion for sale
Temerlyn Minmatar STK Scientific	Posted - 2007.02.07 23:40:00 - [93] This is a story to laugh with. This story happened when the corps/players were starting to get into battleships. Through shrewed planning and looking at eve trends we managed to purchase a scorpion BPO for 700ish million and proceeded to make 3 billion from it in the following 6 months. Back then there was no licensing and in fact when we got the BPO it was 1 week from the licensing patch but every copy job put on before the patch stayed as unlimited copies. One corp mate absent mindedly put the BPO on a 20 run copy. 0 ME and they sold for 200-250mil a peice. And we didnt have the 700mil then, we had 500mil so we asked for a loan from.... XirtamVOTF Me old budy/pal. I think we both came out of that one one top. But i digrees. Before we did this i purchased a tempest battle ship from the NPC's which i think was 300mil back them. This used all the corps isk at the time. The day i got it i ran as a pirate npc agro controller so some one else could mine arc and bist. Thing was it was also 5am for me and silly ole me staying up to late from the excitment of owning the tempest. Back them rat spawns could take a few hours to spawn. It was quite boring, my computer is in my room. Maybe i could just turn my monitor around and lye in bed, im sure ill hear if i get agro from a spawn. I woke up with 10% hull and managed to warp out at 4%.
The Justicar	Posted - 2007.02.08 00:08:00 - [94] Edited by: The Justicar on 08/02/2007 00:12:26 Back in the days of CFS and CA and shortly after a war between them ended I got podkilled somewhere in Khanid while rat hunting. That was not the problem. :-) The problem was that before we joined CFS we had our first 0.0 base somewhere in catch - but left that months before when CA was formed and we decided to join CFS and moved to Querious (though that wasn't it's name at the time :-) ). The real problem was that I had forgot to move my clone contract - so I was suddenly back in Catch many many jumps from home in the territory of an alliance that recently had a war with the one I was a member of (back when member of an alliance meant writing that in your bio :-) ). And the peace treaty mutualy forbid to fly into the other alliances territory. In addition that stupid station had no medical services - so I sat in potentialy hostile territory, dozens of jumps away from any help and 2 jumps from a station where I could buy a decent clone. I talked to a couple of CA guys in local to get a diplomatic contact. I explained the situation, convinced him that I wasn't spying or aggroing and not only got an escort to the next clone station but also free passage all the way back. A couple of CA pilots had not listened to the CA channel and started firing at me when I was almost home - but my escort managed to stop them and I made it back safe with only a few scratches on my armor. Another time we had an ice harvesting op going and a battleship warped in the middle and started killing us with multiple large smart bombs. We lost an indu and 2-3 Retrievers - he lost his battleship to 1 Battlecruiser and our fleet of barge drones - and it was a Hammerhead I drone that is on the killmail as delivering the killing blow. :-) Anecdote 3 is the most recent - a few months ago - while in Syndicate I logged off. When I logged in 2 hours later a couple of my corp mates had participated in a combined fleet op of 3FA + Goonswarm to bring down that famoues mothership that was supposed to be hunted by an official posse that was being assembled a region away. That bunch of pilots was still busy preparing for the hunt for that Nyx and looking very much forward to the large promised bounty and was so angry about the news that the pirated Nyx was already taken care of that they attcked the concord ships instead. :-) Very bad timing for a 2 hour break. ;-)
Colonel Ripper The Older Gamers R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.02.08 00:49:00 - [95] Fabulous thread Verone. I havent been around for as long as a lot of you guys, but I have some pretty good memories as well. I remember sitting in nakugaurd mining veld getting to know the people Id play this game with for the next year plus. I remeber getting ganked by Ginger in Hag like 3 times in one day, and not knowing what the heck had even happened. I also remember our corp ganking him back a month or two later :) I remeber our corps first taste of alliance life, and tangle with serious mercs (Thanks CONIN :? ) I remember taking 2 freighters full of all our corps stuff out to Paragon soul, only to have to run those same freighters back through BoB lines 4 times (and getting away with it!) I remember the first time seeing a Titan, Shrike warping his into the gate in H8-, Chronx saying something like 'Theres the Titan', someone saying we have a few seconds before the DD can go off, and then all of a sudden it going off (they locked the gate), and still getting out in once piece! (Thanks Chronx :-P) I remember the dwindling numbers in AZN as the war started to fall apart for ASCN I remember wanting to be a little part of the big picture of EVE, and I remember getting to do just that. Thanks CCP, and thanks players of EVE. Great memories, and great fun.
Lanfear's Bane Shih Yang Tong	Posted - 2007.02.08 00:51:00 - [96] As a relative newcomer to EVE, I always thought your reputation was a suit you didn't quite fit into. That, however, was a mighty post. The things I love / remember most about EVE: ò Finding a great wingman and learning to trust him. Having someone you can fly beside and you know exactly what they are going to do and knowing they are always there to back you up. Working as a well oiled machine. Never having lost a ship, while flying together, for over a year. Getting used to talking about 'my wingman' IRL and not getting embarrassed about it. ò Being a name (albeit small) that people run from and know / respect / really, really hate. ò The first time I killed a HAC. ò The first time I lost a HAC. ò The POS ganking. ò Flying with tiller. ò Our little baby pirates. (Neal hurry up and finish your thesis). ò Rogue Roy and R42 (VHI don't quite make it but Druidzel does by default.) ò After a break realising that I need to come back to EVE as it really is the best thing on the net.

Toolivus	Posted - 2007.02.08 06:54:00 - [97] Nothing really stands out, but every now and then I see something or hear of an event or a name that just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Shazzakh Minmatar Coreli Corporation Corelum Syndicate	Posted - 2007.02.08 08:17:00 - [98] I remember trying out the trial in 2004 and when I got a rifter from my friend, boy... was I lucky at that time, flew a rifter when I was like 6 hours old... -==-
Eclipsen413 Gallente The Last Ravens	Posted - 2007.02.08 09:34:00 - [99] i remember one time in ostingele when me and a bunch of people ganked 4 isd members and then there was a big news story about it
Verone Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.02.08 13:12:00 - [100] Originally by: Shazzakh I remember trying out the trial in 2004 and when I got a rifter from my friend, boy... was I lucky at that time, flew a rifter when I was like 6 hours old... Yeah, you're lucky. Most of us were in our rookie frigs at the start for like... a fortnight at least. More in some cases. NEWEST MOVIE : VETO FOR HIRE
thesulei Syndicate Technologies	Posted - 2007.02.08 13:36:00 - [101] Edited by: thesulei on 08/02/2007 13:33:31 I also remember lvl3 agents being the highest level agents available. There were no loyalty points, only "important missions" every 30 or 40 missions (can't remember). In those important missions you could get a basic +3 implant, which costed around 60-70mil at the time and it was all the rage (I'm talking autumn 2003 here). Later, after Castor, people would start running lvl3 kill missions and amass lots and lots of basic perception implants, consequently crashing the prices. I made quite a bit of isk speculating on those. Edit: People were also asking ALOT of questions on the forums about what it took to get an expanded cargohold I bpo from your agent.
Edek Hawker	Posted - 2007.02.08 18:46:00 - [102] Edited by: Edek Hawker on 08/02/2007 18:42:57 I remember joining eve and buying my first frigate (a burst) and then warping around the universe...until I ended up in low sector somewhere, I was promptly shot down and podded. (I didnt even know what podded ment back then). I then earned enough isk to purchase a slasher..man was I cool lol. I remember my first mining op and being so surprised at how much money I made from selling the minerals, (from in station I didnt even know about how buy orders really worked back then). I also got enough isk to get a scythe from that :) Ninja mining in the scythe in hi sector to protect my ore from ore thieves. I remember being amazed at how fast the covetor mines. My first flight in the prowler...what an amazing ship. ...My terrible terrible battleship configurations
exozone Gallente Atomic Heroes	Posted - 2007.02.08 19:56:00 - [103] i remember joining liberated technology back when i was a few months old, then flying my poorly fitted mega 50 on jump's into 0.0, with no bookmarks, no excort an actually making it there alive. did i get shouted at for that move :)
Triana Gallente MMK Design and Logistic	Posted - 2007.02.08 20:25:00 - [104] My most vivid memory....mmmmmm I d say the first time i lay eyes on my Thorax, i had been working my ass to get the isk and it was such a gorgeous ship, havent had the same feeling since. -- War is like any other bad relationship. Of course you want out, but at what price? And perhaps more importantly, once you get out, will you be any better off?
Verone Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.02.09 02:48:00 - [105] I'd love to see Mines make a comeback in game to be honest, their concept was awesome. Excellent way to defend the space surrouding pos's. Would be cool to see minelayers as a class of ship too, and an anti mine platform hmmm maybe i'll work on another idea's post for the game development forum ... NEWEST MOVIE : VETO FOR HIRE
xOm3gAx Caldari Stain of Mind DAMAGE INC...	Posted - 2007.02.09 03:34:00 - [106] Edited by: xOm3gAx on 09/02/2007 03:32:52 /signed and... My first kestrel to be popped after joining spectre syndicate by a cruise firing crow =P The guys i met in spectre and in teh ca (well some of htem anyway =) ) which to this day i believe to be some of the best i've ever had the opportunity to fly with. I remember the fleet battle of U-QVWD (and not being podded there still trying to figure that out) which is probably the largest fleet battle in eve ever and definatly the biggest i've ever been part of. I remember the old overview which was almost non-existant and the blue scanner. The old GUI in general... I remember my first real empire piracy experiance went out in my caracal and laid waste to another cara and a crow. I remember the thrill of real combat in the old days where tactics for gate camps meant something. Which reminds me of the 50+ jumps i made to 0-g in curse with a badger mark 2 taking everything i owned bpo's and all to the station there evading SA camps thank god for uh... well either dumb luck or a crappy camp I remember the mine's i used to drop everywhere and spam mining belts with then dock renaming some of them veldspar and such (did that with missiles to). And i remember one day i forgot about 1 mine i left and im flying around and get concordockened cus of it =) I don't remember ever having positive sec though =P But i do remember the 4+ month grind to fix it when i got stuck in a dead end .3 system.... I remember reading the instruction book ;) too much to type so ill leave it at that... cheers verone =D had to add this =) I remember almost being ganked by Digital Communist and its a day ill never forget ;) BTW:: theres only 2 maybe 3 corpses of mine floating around out there that are real and not self poddings if anyone has them ill buy em back for 1mil each =) And considering the mods you got from me at the time thats a nice bonus ---------------------------------------- "Mercinaries never die, we just go to hell to regroup." -xOm3gAx '99 Currently Accepting Contracts contact xOm3gAx ingame.
Stitcher Caldari J.I.T. Enterprises Freelancer Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.09 04:03:00 - [107] Edited by: Stitcher on 09/02/2007 04:00:16 Back in the day when I was still proud to be flying a Cormorant and had just joined JIT, one of the other members had just gotten their hands on a Manticore. Out of interest, I let him fire a precision cruise missile at me. It knocked my ship a long way into armour. quote: "Woah, Stitch, you took that like a MAN!" Nowadays, of course, cruise missiles bounce harmlessly off my manly chest. ***
Father Weebles North Face Force	Posted - 2007.02.09 04:21:00 - [108] I remember my first time in Syndicate, where I hopelessly followed 2 experienced corpmates Irishranger and Sanchezdecastro to k5 jrd. I remember my first corp mining op 2 days into the game where I warped into a belt to grab ore in Pelille only to see 4 outlaws blasting everybody else to bits. I remember my first pirating experience and how that changed my perspective of pvp. The second time I went into Syndicate was with a bs/cruiser gang where we jumped into pf-346. There were 2 crows on the fdj gate so i uncloaked in my vexor and sent my 5 tech2 acolytes on one of the crows only to **** the op up because a bigger enemy bs gang jumped us and killed everybody.

mogwai Gallente Subliminal Trauma	Posted - 2007.02.09 09:39:00 - [110] My favourite days in eve... 2 days into the game and asking a guy how he was able to name all his drones separately took me hours of trying till i asked and found out they were actually called warriors, hobgoblins etc etc 1 week into the game in 0.2 sec... undock in an incursus and challenged a dominix not knowing what it was ... the pirate 'Eightbit' laughed so hard we became pretty good mates
Scylla V VentureCorp Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2007.02.09 10:50:00 - [111] Fond memories My first 0.0 ship kill: Podded one of my directors by accident during a friendly test of weapons. I was fresh new in the corp (it's amazing they decided to keep me ) My first real 'big' loss, a hauler full of dread gear, value about 300mil. Back then it meant an awful lot.
0raven0 Dark-Rising Fallen Souls	Posted - 2007.02.17 06:13:00 - [112] /bump for more memories
Tobizuru Cosmic Odyssey Chorus of Dawn	Posted - 2007.02.17 06:48:00 - [113] I shall bear your children Verone! Honestly though one of my biggest memories comes from the Forums when Verone actually found a free Rattlesnake on Escrow and posted that'd he'd give it back if the original dealer contacted him. And he Did. Not a big and grandeur event but none-the-less something I'll always remember from this game. -------------------- If I only had a Face... :'( Sig Edit: Wait wtf is this?!
Drakus Minmatar all professions	Posted - 2007.02.17 08:07:00 - [114] i remember the last day of beta where they gave everyone all skills at lvl5... which woulda been cool if there wasn't so much lag you couldn't even undock :) (that was my first time in a Tempest) I remeber ninja mining in curse with my first corp in release Dragonstar. would have someone in a cruiser go in first, then we'd warp in, mine as long as we could then warp to a planet. Don't think we knew about ss's then :) Remember running outta curse in a rifter filled with zyd... and being pop'd along the way. I remember a corp mate quitting after getting ganked by pirates. He had found a trade route that made him like... 20m at a time, but got pop'ed on the way home and lost all his money... so he left the game. Still have him in buddylist incase he ever comes back :) I remember my CEO going awol for 2 months after telling us she was going in for surgery... didn't hear from her till about 4months ago... lol Formed Union of Eve with beta friends. Then THAT ceo lent his account to a friend without telling us, so I took over the corp :) I had to quit for about 6months when i went to my first college. (they blocked ports and i didn't know how to get around that at the time :( ) When i left the Rifter was THE ship to fly. And Thorax's were THE cruiser. There were no battleships at that time... then came back, and EVERYONE had them... hell, most of my corpmates had 2 :) I remember my first battleship. Was a dominix. I remember the frist person to kill me. was h4x0 or h4xo. can't remember exactly. I remember my first kill. Was back when ya jammed someone by having more sensor stregnth on them. 3wn would stop any ammar bs. First kill was the CEO of Pie at the time. Still have that killmail. I remember joining up with FU2 and being apart of the PROM. People republic of Matar. Then we all joined up as Ushra'Khan. Still have no idea what that means :) i remember the reaction i got from friends when i told them i had just gotten engaged... and the support from them when i was trying to win a 10k gift card for our wedding... we didn't win though... i swear that the person who DID musta shown some skin or somethin... but ya... this is the best and most addictive game i have ever played. Coming up on 4 years now sense release... and i don't see it stopping any tme soon.

Trypho Minmatar Infinitus Odium Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.17 08:47:00 - [116] Edited by: Trypho on 17/02/2007 08:46:36 I still remember alot of awesome moments in EVE, but these are the coolest of them: I remember my first journeys into 0.0 (they failed - didn`t know about bubbles back then ), and the guy that attacked my Megathron in a Claw - he forgot Gallente carries drones I remember my 1st solo piracy kill in a cruiser vs. a battlecruiser, and getting smacked by the victim in local (I should print it out, put it in a frame and hang it above my bed actually...) I remember how hard the ASCN-BOB war was, and how much I sucked at being a FC. I remember seeing the BOB-titan for the first time, and the scary sound it makes when the DD activates I remember alot of the awesome fights you see in DaMiGe`s new video. Conclusion: this game might be the one and only MMO I`ll be playing for a very long time, it keeps getting better and better, and never stops to surprise/amaze me. Who would have thought 2 Titans would die within 24 hrs a month ago? Exactly
Jim McGregor	Posted - 2007.02.17 09:07:00 - [117] Edited by: Jim McGregor on 17/02/2007 09:05:09 Eve is an amazing concept, but somehow a lot of people manage to only see its flaws. You get back what you put into this universe. I dont have that many stories to share myself since Im making real life a priority, but its very nice to read about everyone else's memories and successes in the game. Some day I will have the time to truly play this game the way it deserves. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune
Good Sir Gallente Death of Virtue	Posted - 2007.02.17 09:26:00 - [118] I remember my first day. My roomate convinced me to play the game, giving me a free trial. He also gave me a free fit incursus, telling me, train to use all the modules on the ship. He also gave me basic fitting rules to go by. Also forced me to do the entire tutorial D:! Which sucked while doing it, but deffinetly helped. He told me I was lucky to have a tutorial at all :P I didn't expect to keep playing, did not like the idea of monthly payments for a game. I guess I got sucked in :E I deffinitely remember my first venture into slowsec, I was in Groothese, in a vexor. I was semi afk at a planet, watching my roomate fitting his megathron, and a blaster harpy warps to my planet and starts shooting me. I come back to my computer, and slowly pick him apart. My first victory \o/ The next kill I get, an ishkur in Decon, I was in my vexor again, made me decide to use my alt for pvp. I put that character into Decon, and began the killing! My first solo kill was a tristan, while I was in a griffin. I played for a month or so with no training on the character, 72k sp. This is when I broke down, moved the character to a new account :E, and begain the training. From this emerged my pirate character, Pumpkin Bread. This is also when I met my good buddy. Together we became the bane of those existence who entered Decon. As my pirate character developed, so did my friends, and an enemy. FXI. Fatalix Inc. came to decon to "free it of pirates". I would not have it. In the following few months we had quite the rivalry. My buddies and I would deal with the large group of FXI peeps ourselves, and despite all their efforts, they were never able to stop our piracy :] My main character, Good Sir, Moved to LFC, I wanted a taste of 0.0 This was deffinetly a fun time. Biggest memory by far being in 3fa was the JH-M2W battle on the PC9-AY gate. 50 3fa'ers Vs. a similar number of Galactic Aurora and Black Reign Syndicate peeps. Epic fight for us, the first and biggest fleet battle I was ever in, and it had capital ships too. We took down a thanatos and revelation of theirs. Amazing fight. I made my own corp, Death of Virtue, with my buddies. This corp operated with some new found friends. Now I have some bigger plans for my corp, but things are still in the works. Cannot wait for that to move forward.
Wulinshu	Posted - 2007.02.17 10:04:00 - [119] I remember RKK camping ec-p, Sun ra's scorpion antics made me want to train for EW boats. The first time I saw a large grouping of battleships it was a NSN fleet back when they were PA they were Megathron heavy and they all came sliding out of warp at the same time not 5km from me. Bear in mind cruisers were what I was looking up to at the time. I remember an argument on grammar in amsen local, If you're going to claim to be an english teacher don't spell it grammer, the other guy recruited me into the first of 2 corps I've been in, that was 3 days in and I was with them for 3 years. Naming my first ships night fire(bantam), night with(merlin), night wraith(kestrel) Night wraith and night fire are docked alongside night witch VI. Upgrading to a thorax(Eithne) at the same time as 2 others in corp and flying about as a group just for the aesthetics for hours, getting newbies into our system then getting the 3 cruisers behind them then saying "look behind you" The first time the miner II's on said thorax popped a roid. Being attacked by a kestrel in low sec in the same thorax while mining and answering the ransom demand with 5 heavy drones. Eithne IV has been docked for 2 years now must dust her off. Whene I heard the rumble of battleship engines when I started to accelerate out of dock for the first time in a megathron(Akagi), prior to that I spent a few mins in dock spining the camera around her in appreciation. Akagi was lost to m0o in venal. Dropping cloak and charging down a gankageddon in a blaster thron specificly setup to tank lasers, Won that one in structure. Getting the crap beat out of me by guristas back when they spewed missiles at the same rate players did(well a little slower) When I'd finishedtraining for MWD's fitting a dual MWD punisher and going to look for the ruin that I had seen on the scanner in amsen and then giving the bookmark to newbies every tiem i was nearby. Hunting lone interceptors in a buzzard with 2 jammers before jamming was changed to a chance based system, It was hediously unfair but the opertunity for manical laughter while approaching target was second to none. Traveling to a .3 system I've forgotten the name of in a badger alongside a pair of apocs with mining setups with the intention of mining, only to have the local pirate in a scorpion turn up, then some guy claiming to have been contracted by some "large" pirate groups to clear the system so they could have a meeting . Local scorpion pilot told him to go screw, A corp mate who was nearby coming in a MOA and bluffing his way into convincing people not to mess with him and let us leave peaceably. We were so very new back then.
Amaron Ghant Caldari Warped Mining Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2007.02.17 11:01:00 - [120] I remember starting eve in Dec 2003 thinking i¦d play it for a week or two before moving on to a better game.
