I have to mention my second most memorable, because it leads into my first.
A bit over two years ago, I had limited PVP experience, though I liked it, and had no PVP experience in battleships. My dominix (my money making ship) was fitted with 350mm railguns and (because I ran out of grid) a MEDIUM ELECTRON BLASTER. We were at war with another alliance. You can see where this is going by now, don't you?
Well, I undocked to find an enemy raven outside my station. Not thinking twice, I shot at him. In warped a classic gankageddon (remember that?). Uh oh, I thought, time to escape! In panic, I warped to a gate (picked a random bookmark, and it happened to be an insta), instead of a safe spot. Of course, I couldn't jump. I was met by both ships shortly thereafter, along with a third ship. No escape this time, for I was scrambled. I unleashed my drones and resolved to go down fighting. I put everything on one of the three targets, chosen randomly in a blind respiration.
I did't stand a chance against a raven and a geddon. I was ripped in short order. However, I explode at the exact same moment as my randomly chosen target: their tackler, a buzzard. His covert ops cloaking device II (long before invention) was destroyed. I later learned that the covops had been a significant nuisance over the past few days.
Final blow: 'Limited Electron Blaster I'. What a lucky noob I was. No glorious victory, but I drew blood.
=====
Fast forward two and a half months later. Since losing my dominix, I'd been playing with destroyers to supporting small gangs. My battleship loss made me lose confidence. I thought of myself as being useful only for taking down tacklers. However, I'd just fitted a brutix with medium NOS and was going to try flying that in gangs. I was still poor, only recently recovering from losing my money maker.
I noticed from the map that there was a 1 pilot in a remote system of our territory. I decided to investigate alone with my brutix, not knowing what I'd find. My suspicions were correct, as I discovered a neutral intruder. I had been practicing probing recently, so I had a good grasp of the directional scanner. I very quickly located the intruder in a belt. Nothing alarming - he was in a wolf.
I warped in and landed 10km away. Lock, MWD, approach, NOS, web, scramble, drones, pew pew pew. I took him completely by surprise and ripped his ship apart. He tried to get away but didn't stand a chance. My heart was thumping and my hands shaking as I scrambled his pod. I recall him asking for mercy, but I sent him back to a clone vat.
Okay, so what's so memorable about that?
Well - he dropped faction loot. Only moments earlier he'd killed a faction spawn and I had by coincidence found him as he celebrated his good fortune. I felt a little bad for a second, before celebrating my good fortune. 
I was excited and very proud. This was my first victorious solo kill. I fell in love with my brutix and gained a lot of confidence. I never hesitated to go out on my own after enemies in it, and in one case I saved a hauler who was being chased by an assault frig (didn't get a kill though). It changed the way I looked at PVP and I never doubted myself again. That's what makes it my most memorable kill.

Well I'm very new at pirating but my first was quite nice.
I was attacking a Badger Mark 2 when what I thought was a simple Merlin warped in and engaged. So I broke off and destroy the ship. Turns out is was a Worm. Makes me wish I had ransomed him, but being at 11% Hull, 50% Armor, and 0% Shields I decided to just finish him off.
I've been learning a lot in my last couple weeks of pirating.

Best #1
Defeating 4 BC's in my Geddon 4v1.
Saw a Harbinger Brutix Myrm and Drake on scan and thought, why not!
The targets all formiddable with full t2 fittings put up a brave fight, first the brutix went down. Followed by the myrm the Harbinger then the Drake fled being at range.
Awesome fight.
2nd Best fight.
Notice seven pirates at a belt three ravens a black bird, two drake's and ferox. I was alone again in the Geddon, Rather than blob I called for assistance from 1 corp mate in a rook.
We warped in and popped the first raven, a couple ships scattered when they realised their mobile missile platforms were all jammed.
Anyway it was a great fight 7v2. As they say always outnumbered but never outgunned :P

Not a kill at all, but when I came back to the game after a break, I went to a .4 just by Stacmon (where I spent the first few months of my eve life) and found a guy in a belt mining.
I couldnt bring myself to kill him, because it would have been too easy, so I just orbited him and said Yarr for a while then left him to get on with it. It was at that moment I realised just how much of a ***** I had become.

My most memorable kill was probably my first ever kill, just before we started kr0m, we were in Fade Union, midnight sun mineral and mining.
CA came to visit and I was sat at the gate in my kessie fitted with heavies (couldnt use cruise back then), the guy must have been just as new as me cause we just sat there and let rip at eachother, I killed him and then the whole world (or what seemed like the whole world), came through the gate. I was so in awe at the blob that i almost forgot to run away in terror.
Was a fun time, cant rememebr who it was that came up and bailed us out in the end, was a very long time ago.

got quite a few that i remember, but 1 sticks in my mind
Were at war and im roaming around in my rax o doom, a war decced frig, i think it was a crow starts buzzing round, agros me, then shoots off 100km and sits there.
Hmm so i'm thinking his baiting me, (aprox 6 other hostiles in system) while we only have 3 others, but we have a guy in a rapier so i give him the nudge and he waprs in to sneak up on the crow knowing he will most likly get away before lock but should shake him up a bit.
Just as our recon arrives (about 10km from scram range) a macharial warps to the frig and starts sniping me.. now this is where we get very happy becuase our recon is almost in range, and we can warp on his head.
And hats what happens i take on some heavy damage hanging at the gate being sniped, when we get the "warp to me command" as he un cloaks and locks down the mach, i wapr out then in on the target, so does our other members, the sniper ship does not hold up long against our small gangs of 1 bs and smaller ships.
And just to top it off a rupture warps in to help just as the mach pops.
gotta love it when somthing so random as saying hey can u grab that crow, no but ill try as im bored and we get a nice factionship :)

I only have 2 that really stand out for me:
Using a Buzzard with dual web setup to kill a Sabre.
Me and an Alliance mate from the ISS days using a pair of haulers to bring down another Sabre that had been harrassing the travel route for several days. Even the Sabre pilot laughed his arse off at theat one!

Once upon time, there was a little boy named Siddy who was hunting with Viceroy, who was in falcon.
And when Siddy engaged the epic Navy Mega, Viceroy said "no he is friendly, i wont engage".
So in result, Siddy, who was taking royally up the arse by blasters, yelled same time at vice in TS "omg you phat frack haul your arse here" and in local "omg stop ill pay etc...".
After that vice had to buy him ice cream for weeks...
Or so tells the ancient legend... |

The most recent memorable fight was the first real test of my Maelstrom.
We had a small camp going on a 0.0/low sec bottleneck when our scouts detected 2 significantly larger blobs coming our way (from both directions). So our sniping mega warped to the gate just as one blob approached the other side. The other blob was filtering into the system we were in at this point so we were well prepared to lose a ship or all of them!
A lone mega jumped in and engaged our sniperthron - which of course had no tank. So half into armour he jumped into the waiting blob in low sec; leaving me and the mega. Realising that any decent blob would engage the mega I figured the best course of action would be to pull the blob through by engaging their mega and try to give our mega the chance of escape.
So I unleashed my 8x800mm T2 Repeating Artillery on this mega who proceeded to return fire. I awaited the blobbage...
But they didn't come immediately and my corpie's cloak timer was rapidly coming to an end...
All of a sudden my corpie announced that he had to warp at which point the mega was in very bad shape and I had a good 50% cap left with more or less 100% shield. Curiously, the blob then chose to jump through - obviously concerned about the imminent demise of their mega.
With our mega safe, I concentrated on getting those cap boosters loaded to feed the shield boost and invulnerability fields as a NOS domi, Navy Raven and a dozen pilots in a mixture of cruisers and elite frigate began tearing into my shields. Soon, the mega was dead and my cap was dry. I was only able to intermittently rep my shield as cap injectors did their thing. But, the last laugh was certainly on me. Not only has I set up my Maelstrom to have 60%+ resistance with 1500+ HP repped every 4 secs on my shield, I had accompanied my 2 gyro II damage mods with 2 1600mm Rolled Tungsten Plates giving me a healthy 20k amour HP buffer!
Aggro time plus a bit more for fun elapsed and I jumped out with 60% armour.
All in all, a good road test for the maelstrom.

not the toughest, but my favs......
Rupture, Rifter, cyclone, punisher _vs_ my raven in Osaa.
Killed punisher, rupture, then rifter, cyclone left before it was his turn.
this was followed by a crow that attacked me when I had a named webber fitted. Web, NOS, pop.
Well there was that t2 fitted drake in Hakonen, who tried and was outrunning my scram, but not the dire who had him scrammed. sometimes I love the rats.

My first real pvp kill was an alliance member who went rogue. He just started attacking my corpmates with no warning. During that time I had finally got skills for flying taranis and I was just about to ask someone to help me to test my fit when that guy went berserk. Looks like I have my volunteer. He got a barge as his first victim and I see my corpmates frig go boom just as I warp to the gate where he is. I assume mine was a typical first kill. Huge ad rush, you press buttons in panic and so on. The result soon flashed in my inbox and I was on the victor part for the very first time.

That nadia post above is mine also, just had a little accident.
Another one I remember is during the time I was in FLA. I was looking for trouble with my rupture in nearby region and found an uncloaked manticore almost next to the gate I was jumping to. I was going to leave the system fast because there were some hostiles around but that manticore was too tempting. I activate all I got on him and he soon goes pop. when I¦m finished looting his friend jumps in with pilgrim and starts to suck me like a hungry b***h. Luckily I had just activated my warp so I got away. That was at time when you still could use core stabs without insane penalties so I had one fitted. Just for these occasions.
The funny and memoriable part was my victims fit. 3 warp scrams and web for example. I wonder what he was thinking when he fit that ship. Either very innovative or something really stupid.

My favorite kill wasn't solo. We had a gang of 8 heading out to low sec to take down a small pos. Along the way Valadeya engaged someone on a gate and warped to a safe. At this point the gang is at the other end of the next system when Val reports a Gal command ship has warped in on his gheddon. Val is sitting there desperately trying to maintain his tank while we make our way back to him.
The pirate trying to gank him makes no ransom offer, he is just going straight for the kill. We get the main gang in system and warp on top of Val, five ships commence launching drones or activating mods to repair Val while we all start pounding the command ship. As we are fighting I hear laughter on TS and people start telling me to read local. Sure enough there is Podruski begging to save his ship, offering hundreds of millions of isk to not pop him.
After we popped him we could tell why. Tons of faction and officer loot. The lesson is one of the oldest known to man and apparently ruski didn't get the memo, do onto others as you would have them do onto you.

a BoB Bhaalghorn (spelling?) sticks out.
Went down whilst on a gate camp in the Privateer Alliance. Guy was totally officer fitted and had a Vindicator BPC in his cargo.
We had to pop the wreck to stop a loot thief getting to it 
Guy was sound about his loss - though we were mysteriously nerfed not long after that.

Speed tanked a Brutix + cyclone + typhoon + wolf long enough for me to kill the brutix and cyclone in my Stabber, was finished off though but that fight will stick in my head forever, and was by far the most fun
Wow awesome stuff! I'm still getting used to my stabber and have some sweet kills under my belt...but **** i never knew stabber could take out a BC, nevermind TWO!!!
I think i will be a little less selective with my targets from now on.
Nice one mate.

My most memorable kill was my first day playing in the Privateer Alliance... I saw a wartarget shuttle sitting 15km off a gate and not going anywhere so I decide to see what this could be... lock, shoot, wait... nothing. Oh well, sucks to be him. Pew Pew!!! Shuttle goes pop and the wreck has something in it so I go take a look... there were about 115 BPs in there that weren't destroyed and a few that were that still keep me up at night to this wondering if the Armageddon and Apocalypse BPs were BPOs or not
*Edit* the guy convoed me later... he fell asleep at the computer :P

That night in FREGE space once. I scouted in my crow for the nubs. corp.
So we probed down a raven in a safespot and i went first to scram him.
I got him and shouted out on vent. Then the gang started warping in. They all waited for the command. I counted down, 3..... 2..... 1... POP!
Never seen a raven pop so fast. it was adorable.
That same night I took down a tempest in my crow, with the help of Nori traps in his vexor. IT was awesome
