Hai gaiz!
I fail as a pirate. But this story is still funny, I laughed all the way back into highsec at my own miserable attempt.
Basically, I thought I'd take my little blastercursus out for a spin in lowsec and solo kill something. Jump into the first .3 system I find and set some safespots up but local is empty so I go to the next system, same thing there and another jump. Here I find several people in local, after creating some safespots I decide to scan them down and I find a lonely Celestis in a belt.
I decide to take him out so I warp in, approach target, activate ab, lock and warpscramble and start firing. He starts defending himself rather than focus on the rats he were killing but I'm either to close or to fast for his guns. My small blasters slowly eat his tank away and he pops while I'm still at 50% armour. As I didn't see the mail icon flashing I knew the damn rats stole my KM so I go for his pod (I want a KM dammit), lock it and scram, and then my tank breaks to the rats that now saw fit to kill me as well. I warp off to a safespot to repair a bit before going back for the loot (which wasn't any good at all).
Now the sledgehammer of stupidity smack me in the head. I warp to station thinking I shall dock and get more ammo and stuff only to get popped by the sentries.
Yeah, I know you get killed by sentries in lowsec when global flagged but since I've lived in highsec and .0 only travelling through lowsec I forgot that it is not only gates that have sentries but stations as well. The worst thing was that the dude I poped was on the my KM as aiding the sentries 
I went back home in my pod laughing at my own stupidity. New day and new adventures
Yarr.. ?

Welcome to the world of piracy. I'd be surprised if any pirate hasn't done that before tbh.
At least it was a cheap loss

I don't call myself a pirate just yet. I still have positive secstatus, however had I got that pod instead of having to warp out I'd be a yellow SOB now :(

Yeah.. I like fighting in frigs, it is fun. However I'm not afraid of bringing in larger craft if I intend to do some real damage.

Still, you get big points for pirating in the first place! 
To reduce your pain somewhat-
I noticed local jump by one, then by another five. I thought it was a gank gang come to kill me. Turns out the first guy is in a frig, and the rest are in 3x destroyers (2x catalyst, 1 cormorant) and 3x frigs (merlin, 2x tristans).
The first guy was in a merlin I think. Anyway, I scan them down to the top belt, and I see the first guy is already in his pod, and the other five have scrambled him and are now ransoming him.
I warp in at 180km with my sniper mega. 
First thing I do is pod the guy who they're trying to ransom. BOOM, they all lose -12.5% sec because they had scrams on him when I killed him. HAHAHAHA! I target a destroyer. BOOM, dead. Pod warps off to the gate. I put my guns on a frig, but he warps off in structure. I notice that they're all warping to the high sec out-gate. I warp to a sniper point at the same gate...
As I drop out of warp, I arrive just in time to see the remaining 4 ships (2 destroyers, 2 frigs) die to the sentry guns. I start locking all five of the remaining pods. I get every single one of them before they know what is going on. LOL!
So at the end, they all lost quite a bit of sec, all their ships, and I podded every single one of them. Plus I killed the guy they were chasing. All the loot was crap, so I just popped all the wrecks (I'm mean, can you tell?).
Moral of the story: always fraps everything, you never know when you'll get some great video lol.

Edited by: Faekurias on 11/07/2007 09:43:13 Edited by: Faekurias on 11/07/2007 09:42:15 lol I did a similar, beat another raven at a planet in my raven, was a close fight and I felt really good for getting him since well, my tank had almost given up when he popped.
Anyways, beating my chest, guess what I did ? (I was mid-travel)...I put my autopilot on
and then I went for a toilet visit, I took a few steps when I heard "BOOM PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW" and was like "WTF!??!?!" ran back to comp saw my raven taking a nasty beating, and that with still being quite beat from previous encounter, and then *POP!* I sat glaring at my egg for like 10 minutes admiring my stupidity

Edited by: Damares on 11/07/2007 10:51:26 hehe i did one of these last night, wasnt too expensive though, more expensive than your loss though, AND more embarrassing hehe
we had some known ore thieves in local (i really hate ore thieves) and some dude was mining in a belt so i tipped his can for bait, evil but i dont care 
they always fly catalysts and i was in my trusty moa, so i sat in a safe aligned to the belt with scanner on, a catalyst arrives, can disappears, gogogo, warped in and blew him down to 50% armour in a few hit's but he managed to escape, i chased him around system for 15 minutes having many close call's but never getting point's.
we decided to change our approach, i got my buddy mining and i sat in a safe aligned again, after about 2 minutes the thief warp's in and tip's the can and begin's orbiting my buddy so i warp to my buddy at 20km (got about 25km optimal with antimatter) and locked, he was 13km away so i began orbitting at 20km, destroyed him in a few hit's but by now all his buddies are arriving in local and warping in and attacking me, my corp mate was waving his arm's around telling me to warp but i thought "screw it they are in little dessies i can win this, and t1 fitted cruddy skilled dessies at that"
so i began attacking again, then their ceo warp's in and locks me and without thinking i lock him back and hit f1-f4, straight down to low shields, then a voice in the back of my head goes "your in empire you noob and he wasnt agressed" followed by "sh*t concorde" i immedietly hit the warp button, i was aligned so i insta warped but new exactly what was gonna happen when i got out of warp 
ahhhh well, it was only a moa, plus i looted everything with my alt hehe, every last drop of my t2 stuff was destroyed though.... only some name rocket launchers i had on the last 2 high slots and a PDU remaining, oh and a bunch of ammo, the dessies had t1 and some poorly named stuff, not more than 400k worth of loot

I did this twice the same day 
First with an Arazu, then few hours later with my Huginn.
But for my Arazu they didnt web it and my Huginn made it back to gate with MWD.

I miss high sec :( havent set foot in high sec for over a year now :/ lol
i worked my sec status back up, was too much trouble being outlawed, after last night's accidental suicide gank though im down to -1.98 so i can only just go into 1.0
not being able to go through 1.0 makes for some awkward detour's.
and yes empire war's and stuff are fun, more fun than gate camp's especialy hehe, not so profitable but 10 1 month old characters in dessies and frig's versus you in a t2 cruiser is always a fun fight, im using a caracal after that moa now, wanna see if i can cripple on with the alpha strike hehe 
got my thorax aswell, thats a fun ship, probably not so great for popping dessies though, the moa was my machine for that job, damn concorde
