Losing ships always sucks, but not because you need to maintain the image of the spotless KDR. If you get owned, you get owned, plain and simple. I hate losing ships because of all the crappy logistics you have to go through to replace it. As long as don't lose a ship in a stupid manner, I can be satisfied with myself win or lose.

I'm not going to stick solely to Alliances, simply because there aren't five alliances worth mentioning.

1. Mercenary Coalition

There is no doubt that if you yourself have the stones, MC have the experience, willpower, funding and resiliance to bring it.

There's two sides to fighting powerful enemies, the first being those who simply can't adapt to certain situations (I believe most alliances are in this category) - who will just get owned in the face, and have no fun. The other side is those who play eve in order to seek a challenge; those whom couldn't be happier than if they were being anally violated by a powerful enemy.

2. BURN EDEN

Long-time enemies of ours, BURN EDEN have long ignored what some people consider "proper etiquette" to gameplay in EVE, and pull out all the stops in order to have an absolute blast doing whatever they are doing. It would be a sin to omit them from this list. Some shallow people may hate them for the way they choose to play the game; I suspect those people aren't enjoying the game as much as BURN EDEN are.

3. [G]

No, not D2. And yes, I know they don't exist any more.

[G] had what it took to be a serious opponent. If you took a fleet into their space, they would retaliate effortlessly, and either dispatch you or die trying.

I have fought G on numerous occasions, and I built up a lot of respect for them. On one occasion, a -PH- fleet I was in engaged them with pretty equal numbers, around five bs and several support ships. We got the upper hand and won the fight - but five minutes later they were back on our heels (pilots in new BS etc..) and picked off a couple of our bs while we were leaving.

It is a shame that shortly after forming [D2] the alliance degraded, took in carebears and freeloaders, and became "just another alliance". Those guys had potential.

4. Outbreak

Outbreak know how to have fun. They know how to bring death and destruction to the largest and most well prepared alliances. Feared by some, respected by all, Outbreak have imprinted themselves firmly on EVE history and will always be admired for as long as they exist.

Outbreak ran a campaign against us at one point. After royally kicking our ass statistically, we had nothing to say but "good fight".

5. FREGE Alliance

Like stealing candy from a baby; FREGE have grown extremely rapidly, and are an alliance rife with ISK farmers, carebears and newbies. Due to their rapid expansion they have very little infrastructure, hardly any organisation, and not much of a command structure.

So why make the list you say? Simple - this is an alliance which is currently under no threat from a major enemy of consequence. If I were in frege right now, I would be having a great time, leading out gangs and mercilessly executing those small gank squads whom are frequenting their space. And what's more, these guys are well aware that their time is growing short, and are preparing for the inevitable - we may see some good battles in the future, if their preperation is up to scratch.

1. TRI - <3 <3 <3
2. MC - Getting money for fighting and a nice cap fleet.
3. Outbreak - no blues and nice sigs (Yes, I know you're not an alliance, but I don't care!)
4. Morsus Mihi - Always enough people who are willing to fight it seems.
5. IAC - Seems they are a fun bunch from what I read on the forums.

Haven't been in many, and many atleast four is from the outside looking "in", via forums, public boards. I hasten to add NOT in any order.

1. Freelancers.

My introduction to alliances, 0.0, pvp, 0.0 politics, alliance politics and the weird 0.0 market, i.e 20% over empire prices even though ALL the minerals are on the doorstep or the loot refines so much better. Didn't last long when I got there with my bpos :), shame I tried getting em out in a raven that wasn't warp stabbed :D. Gotta add - I realised the real original reason pos's were introduced in the first place (no where to dock, no where to refine, build store items/ships).

2nd. Any of the Role Playing alliances out there. Great fun, story mode +1, reason to play Eve in the spirit that is far less personal.

3rd. Privateers. As a long term industrialist, I'm looking forward to getting more pvp under my belt. Seeing 1.0 systems full of hostiles must/is exciting.

4th. Outbreak. Cool sigs, no blues and an active public forum section too. I wonder if they need ammo/missile/drone supplies?

Generally speaking though, alliances can be annoying and not worth the ammo..sorry hassle.

This shouldn't reflect on my current alliance of course. Some great guys in there.

Ushra'Khan. Hands down, these are the best roleplayers in EVE. Zoolkhan is my personal roleplaying hero.
