Happy 4th Birthday EVE!
Thanks to CCP for the greatest and most unique game (If not MMO) that ever graced this earth.
I've only been on since Septembre of last year, but I would have to say my most enjoyed moment so far has got to be the first Lowsec mission I did with some veteran players I'd never met before. I figured I might as well, as they were a bunch of really nice guys.
It started fine, I was in a Jaguar and the other 4 players were in a mixture of Battleships and Command Ships. When we finished the mission, we decided to head back to the local station for repairs, re-armament and to enjoy our loot .
However, there was a group of pirate players waiting outside (Around 4-5, and it was the only station in the system). Most of us had docked already, but just in case, the other guys in my group started fitting in case they decided to take us on.
This was also the first time I learned anything about PVP in EVE.
They had me assigned as a "Tackler", and told me what I needed to do. Seemed easy enough.
We started to launch from the station, and before I knew it Missiles and energy blasts were carving through space all around us.
I picked a juicy looking ship (A Raven if I remember correctly) and Did what they told me...Warp Scrambled, Webbified, and a little Pew-Pew just for laughs. My group concentrated on this one, and chewed through him in no time. It was the first time I saw a Battleship explode that close. The whole time I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest.
With that, I kept doing what Ion told me...Get up close, orbit, and activate the modules they had given me. We took another two down before they started to retreat, and in the chaos we got another one. When i looked around, I saw that we all had taken a lot of damage, but none of the guys I was with lost a ship. I didn't know how good these guys were until now, and I had a newfound respect for adept PvP players in EVE.
Of course, we celebrated our victory while looting the wrecks...One of the players that attacked us seemed incredibly irritated at his destruction, but the other two that chatted with us were very friendly.
This was my first ever PvP experience, group fight, and also the first time I witnessed how truly awesome this game really is.
It was the best day of my life in EVE.
