Brutor Shaun Minmatar Freelancers UK Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.09 17:29:00 - [1] So, I decided to plug in a set of +4 imps. Before I do, I need to unplug the +3s.

VeNT Minmatar Freelancer Union Unaffiliated	Posted - 2007.03.09 17:31:00 - [3] Edited by: VeNT on 09/03/2007 17:27:58 also you could have just installed a jump clone in another station and put the +4s in that and then you'ed have a backup set rather than losing the +3s totaly. I bubbled my own faction fitted sabre when a hostile blob jumped in then aggressed them -------------------- Selena 001 > has VeNT left system? its gone really quiet!
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2007.03.09 17:37:00 - [4] I've never done anything that stupid as I'm Great, but I can reassure you that many other people have. - If you go into your options menu, there's a difficulty slider. Put that all the way over to the easiest setting and you'll be fine.

Not with a Hulk though, and I didn't lose nearly as much as you (about 1/10 actually). I was putting a sell order on some Gyrostab II's, and pressed enter one zero too early. 66 of them sold for 160k each Fi T'Zeh is the leader so far, though, ouch.

Marlenus Ironfleet Towing And Salvage	Posted - 2007.03.09 19:09:00 - [12] I've got quite a list, but freshest and most painful has got to be plugging a forty million ISK rig into the wrong ship. ------------------ Ironfleet.com Proposal: Automated Ore Return Vehicles
AlphaMeridian Ars ex Discordia Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.09 19:14:00 - [13] Before I was fully enlightened about things related to Gunnery: Gyrostabs on a Moa. And thought it was completely fine, until I actually LOOKED at the description of a gyrostab. I'm quite glad I didn't actually get killed in that configuration, because my enemies would have had a hell of a laugh. -Alpha
Wulfstan Caldari The Sweeney	Posted - 2007.03.09 19:17:00 - [14] Edited by: Wulfstan on 09/03/2007 19:14:42 Originally by: Kye Do'lan Originally by: Laurelin1420 Left for a courier mission without the cargo.... Yeah...that fkn courier mission when you get 1 jump from where you are going and realise it's 6 jumps back Anything you need to complete a mission and give to your agent, you'll have left it back in deadspace somewhere. However anything you need to take on a mission, it will be safely tucked away back at base, right next to your agent's desk. The closer you are to your mission bonus running out, the more chance you'll have to go through a few linked deadspaces via accel gates miles apart to get what you need. You'll then get your pants stuck on the prongs of the acceleration gate, and spend ages untangling yourself. You'll still be in your industrial that you've picked the loot up in, that has to make the 90km to the second acceleration gate at 90m/s. Then of course there's a big roid in your path, so your ships computer that has a brain the size of a planet ... spends 5 minutes just bouncing into the roid. While you're grabbing a beer from the fridge to pass that 5 minutes. Then 4 weedy 9,000 ISK Angel pirate frigates pop up and procede to fry your ship. You could usually shield boost but you're picking your nose, having a wee and surfing the web with Eve backgrounded while your ship is slowboating the 90km. Then you make it back just after the bonus has expired, or you're about 2 seconds from docking when downtime starts. Delete the one least likely to annoy you. Edit: To the guy at the top who said about keeping +3's in a clone. Good work fella! Had never thought of that. Cheers mate.

Ma'ax	Posted - 2007.03.10 01:15:00 - [19] Reading the mission notes here http://eveinfo.com/missions/3/ for my first run in a new BS that cost about 500M and 3 weeks of agonizing (testing on lev 3 before using it on lev 4) and not checking the rat type. I think cool! I can pick off those sentry guns without approaching. 100% swarm and pew pew from hell with my 10% explosive resistance. I literally had 9% structure and maybe 0.5 seconds between me and BBQ. That make you feel better hehe?

Iudex Caldari	Posted - 2007.03.10 04:26:00 - [28] When i was new, i started with belt-ratting (becaus a fanpage-guide suggested so) with a kestrel in 0.6-0.4 and then with a caracal in 0.3, making money with selling the loot from beltrats. I remember every few hours i looted items that were diffrent from others and had names beginning with "true sansha" / "dread gurista" /"dark blood". Unfortunately i didn't see any buy-offers for them on the market (they were only tradable in escrow by then), so i started to reprocess them to minerals and sold the minerals instead.

Asael Caldari Nathlin Enterprises Inc.	Posted - 2007.03.10 08:16:00 - [32] Edited by: Asael on 10/03/2007 08:13:01 I once got an agent offer for a faction ship if i manage to turn in some dogtags. So i research a bit on where i can find those tags..turns out that one of the tags is found off a guy up north in 0.0. So i take my missioning ship, which was a fully gistii equipment fitted Harpy, and i setup into the dark reaches of space. I payed extreme attention to the map and the area around me, but i didnt encounter a soul. Finally go to my destination only to find...nothing. Pi ssed as i where, i hit the autopilot back home and started browsing the market, confident that the way back home was clear. 10 minuts later a big gatecamp pops up when i warp to a gate, autch. ______________________________ Nathlin Enterprises Inc.

Arushia Nova Labs	Posted - 2007.03.11 02:41:00 - [33] Buy-ordered 100x Damaged Artificial Neural network for 900k instead of 90k. There were enough for sale in range that the order was immediately filled. Quite a lot to pay to build rigs.
Siege Minmatar Siegecraft Bounty Hunting	Posted - 2007.03.11 04:04:00 - [34] Had one not to long ago actually. Rather embarassing. I was fighting a fairly new pilot in a Thorax outside a station in empire, while I was in a Hurricane. We were playing tag for a while, he kept undocking/docking, but I was close to getting him. He finally aggresses me, followed by a hostile Raven logs in and undocks, so I pull off the guns to wait and redock myself. Shouldn't have been a problem. Then I get my graphics mixed up in my head, and I thought the Raven fired off some smartbombs with a bunch of noob's sitting there. I figured, Hey he'll get concorded, back to shooting the Thorax. Oops. They were torpedoes after all, he didn't get concorded. My aggression timer reset and I had a bad day.

Akita T Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.03.11 07:14:00 - [40] Edited by: Akita T on 11/03/2007 07:11:16 First time ever run of post-Kali L4 Enemies Abound 5/5 in our current corp, shortly after Kali hits the fan. A corpmate who started L4s much earlier as the rest of us, he was using a Cerberus, lag in system manageable (in Oipo if I'm remembering right, for an Ishukone Watch agent). Rest of us still on L3s with an agent for Caldari Navy in Oimmo (hooray for missions in a Ferox done mostly in lowsec Nalvula). Obviously, he doesn't have enough DPS onboard for the "Kali version" of the mission, so he ends up with a full spawn, asks for help in the corp channel, explains a bit of the situation: too many ships in, incoming DPS way too big, instant aggro on warp-in from 12+ BSs still there, nasty bussiness anyway. The stupid part is that instead of telling him to give up and wait until after DT, I said "well, if you really want to try it, then we'll come and help as much as possible". Needless to say, that was when I discovered you need L3 salvage (L2 not enough) for a Cerberus wreck. _ MySkills \| Module/Rig stacknerfing explained
Ikasu Gallente The Durandal Organization	Posted - 2007.03.11 07:58:00 - [41] just a couple of minutes ago me and a friend agreed on a friendly PVP. I looted his can and got so he could fire on me, the rules were down to structure and no more. He activated his modules first, missils, and a split second later I activated mine. Mine went off first and I pulled Concord agro and got exploded. Lost a fully fitted non-insured myrmidon.
Draconius Krynar Gallente Center for Advanced Studies	Posted - 2007.03.11 08:12:00 - [42] Warped in to a lev 4, aggro'd the room. Started taking insane damage and all. I then notice that my missile tubes aren't reloading, I quickly check my cargohold to find I haven't taken any ammo... Had to tank the whole room for five minutes before a buddy showed up to assist my drones in taking them down.

Dave White Beagle Corp	Posted - 2007.03.12 11:07:00 - [49] Soo many things... One related to your messup is that I selfdestructed my own pod with a bunch of +4's in after getting blown up on a raid in 0.0 and being too lazy get home. Other one is when I just started playing EVE, the first day. A guy asked me if I wanted to come mining with him. I was like ''yeah, sure''! So he gives me a dest (in low-sec, but I had no clue what that was at the time) and I warp to the belt. He pops my poor little ibis and pods me not long after. I learned the important lesson that you can never trust someone in EVE, very early snip - signature removed. Please email us with a link if you wish to know why. -Ivan K
