This is a place where you can recount your stories about how newbish you were when you first joined EVE.
I remember when I was on my first trial I thought it was awsome that this guy was in this awsome harpy running level 2 plexes X-/. He bragged about how sometimes the overseer would drop goods worth a whopping 10 mil!! "i've gotton several 200 mil loot drops since, even one worth about 500 mil". That and i thought it was awsome when a rat dropped a worm BPC "~20 mil".
Then there was the time i spent in low-sec lol. I used to make fun of all the pirates who tried to attack my osprey. I even told one who i knew was trying to kill me how many stabs i had fit "big mistake". Sure enough boom.
What about your days as a newb?

I remember seeing a battle between a Raven and a Machariel when I had first started playing EVE and not even out of my n00bship...it was absolutely terrifying.

First time I got into a fight with a pirate and podded. Genuine fear from a computer game. Got me hooked.

I remember the days when i was all excited i had made a million isk.
Oh how things change.
About 5 days into my trial i tried to attack a pirate that was in a cruiser with a poorly fitted frig, there was only one outcome, my first loss.
Thats probably one of my first great memorys of this game

On my alt about a year ago when i first joined, I flew into low sec, got podded 2 times, but no, i wasnt about to give up, a week later i came back, got podded again, (thats 3 Caracals i lost so far) then i decided to enter 0.0, got podded, got ****ed and I left the game.

Went to 0.0 with my brand new Thorax (no insurance) did a bit of hunting and when i was heading back i promptly ran into 2 scorps camping the gate back to low sec (Jim Raynor and Drax is still remember you guys). They wanted 10mil which i didnt have and i was stupid enough trying to shoot at them and go for the gate.
Was back in station befor i realised what happend and had to use my frig again to mine.
Messing with 2 scorps in a thorax, argh stupid.
May you live in interresting times. |

Too many n00b things to recount in full here, but proabably the biggest was finally building my first bs, fitted it out as best I could given my bare minimum skills for flying a 'thron and using large guns etc.
Headed for 0.0 thinking "I am immortal"
Dived into the first npc swarm (no npc bs's back then, what could half a dozen serp cruisers do to me?)
Floated back to empire in my pod hoping noone would see me.
Headed back to Adeel and started mining in my 'rax all over again..

I bought a few Minmatar Frigate skill books so I could train it up to level 4, thinking that one got "used up" each time you trained a level!

In beta, I saw this bantam surrounded by these can things... Went over looked in one of the cans and saw ore. I asked the player why he had a bunch of ore in these cans. He explained jet can mining to me. I then took all the ore I could out of his cans and flew back to the station, he was ****ed, lol.
That was the last time I stole any ore out of a jet can, 4 years ago... I got my kicks out of it once, and then moved on...

I remember getting my first cruiser and thinking 'it's a bigger, better ship, it's gonna be so much more fun going faster than this damned frigate'.

I lost a Caracal with normal T1 loot to a gatecamping Apoc, and it was a big deal. "OMG, my 20 million ISKs!". Little did I know that the only real money to be made in EVE was in mining. Silly, silly me.

I remember how long it took to get that first million and then how long it seemed to take to skill up for and purchase a half decent cruiser. I remember mission running in Empire for months and months and thinking I was pretty good and then going to Querious and joining Eternity Inc, part of the FIX alliance (back in early 2005) and realising just how much there is still to learn once you move into 0.0 lol

I'd have admitted to join Klepto as being your biggest noob moment, but perhaps I just don't know you that well.

I'm still a newbie.
The first time I got podded was traumatic. I was flying around in my Caracal collecting all the modules to fit it, one of them was in 0.4 space and I ran into a gate camp of eight people from a certain alliance  . I just saw an explosion, my fps dropped and I was in a station wondering what happened.
I came very close to rage-quitting at that point.

Long story short, did some Blood Raider missions, got blown up a few missions later.
Still have my slightly positive standing to them as a little reminder.
I think I'll go and try again someday :)

I was awesome back in the days when 2 hours of mining pyroxeres generated like 5 million isk. Making 10 mill a day was excellent back then, these days i wouldnt even bother to log in if i had to spend 2 hours to make 10 mill

I almost melted down a Dread Guristas Invulnerability Field because I didn't have any idea how valuable it was. I checked its stats and thought it was pretty nice so I held on to it, but since I quickly learned that Gallente ships armor tank, it sat around until someone in my corp mentioned offhandedly they wanted one, whereupon I checked contracts and damn near choked.
