my fault for watching a movie while slowboating across the caldari core systems. Im in an Raven now :)
post your worst losses and
Question
1. Since the introduction of the tier 3 highsec ganking ships have you noticed an increase in ganking for lower isk ships and cargos? Something Awful. A beacon for tearful, lonely neckbeards. |

I wouldn't call it my worst (around 300k-ish) but it did suck to get beat by a kiting ibis and his 1 hobgoblin. -.-"
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=15020985
I thought that the TD would bail me out if he tried to kite, I was clearly mistaken.
Lesson Learned: ALWAYS fit a prop mod.
Now that i think of it, it was KIND of cheating, It was supposed to be t1 only, and he used a t2 drone :O

I've been relatively careful. My biggest loss was in Aunenen when I flew into a gate camp. I was busy relocating all my assets and the route had one lowsec jump; the one that I knew was occasionally camped. And feeling foolishly inebriated and courageous I took the risk and lost. (Killmail here) It was plain stupidity and impatience that cost me that, fortunately not a lot of ISK and just the annoyance factor and disgust at me being so dumb. |

Not really. You don't get insurance from Deaths related to Concord after the expansion that released the Tornado. Tornado's cost about 50mil while the Tempest has been sitting between 70-85mil. Without insurance the Tempest is less economically viable but its former price after Insurance is close to the same as the new Tornado without Insurance.
The price has remained about the same.
As for my loss. I haven't been Ganked but a general loss...

There's a guy in my corp who's really good at highsec suicide ganks (the gank part is easy, finding a suitable target and setting up the gank is the time-consuming part)
Golems seem to make the shiniest explosions.
As for me, my blaster Megathrons cost more than any PvE boat I fly. Cross-training for a sailbo..err.. Tempest though, as part of my general Gallente->Winmatar crosstraining plan. My killboard - http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=Kessiaan |

Hm, I suppose my most expensive loss is a carrier. Being DD'ed by a titan. That was almost year and half ago.
I never really lose such an expensive ship. Hm. Or maybe that one time I spent 500m? on a frigate I can't remember, inty I can't remember, back in the days ... I got smartbombed to death by smartbombing gate campers, lol.
I usually fly frigates and cruisers. Battleclinic says I lost almost 50b worth of assets in my eve life, but did 520b worth of damages :D |

last jump into target system deep into the venal region, I was on my way to pick up some faction loot dropped from belts rats and other misc crapola.
I departed in my alt, 12 jumps into my journey I noticed (yes I noticed that late into it) I did not have any fittings on the viator. I also overlooked to jump clone out. I had a mining mindlink and all +5s and +5s hardwirings, all kinds of nav/agility hardwires. You can see where this is going.
Last gate to jump and the only system I did not bounce off a planet. Only one person in local. I did not think much of it.
The pilot was a loan dictor, I landed on the edge of his bubble and I we both de-cloaked each other. IRONY! He locked and lit me up. Bubble was down, but as soon as I popped he launched another catching my pod.
Luckily by the time it was all done I was safely stored in high sec.
The loss was very very expensive. |

worst loss was when I agrod some poor slob in my rifter on a low sec gate
most expensive loss? rancer The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

Been ganked twice and both times they have done me a favour.
First time was in a frigate when I just started playing, I was saving for a dessy and the insurance allowed me to buy one (can't think why I didn't just sell my frig of the top of my head I was a noob what can I tell you).
The second loss was over 3 accounts 2 missioning cruisers and a dessie. Was doing a lot of mining at the time though so having my mission boats vaped allowed me to buy 3 cruisers that where better suited to mining out my insurance.

About 2Billion Isk worth in an Orca and cargo. My never used low grade slave set and an arazu dropped too. Had one low sec jump, had just scouted it with an alt.. But those slow-ass orca's take a long time to align. I landed on gate just as a Hurricane arrived. Not knowing if he was alone or had gang mates inbound. I put ECM and ecm drones on him, and aligned back to station. But I was wedged on the gate (don't you hate it when that happens). So I was aggressed, and stuck on the gate when his battleship buddies arrived on the scene moments later.
Lesson learned. Don't move 2 billion in cargo when having skype conversations, and make sure the scout alt you use is a blackbird or falcon. |

The first time I went to 0.0 with my main, I thought I would bring along a Hulk, a Rifter and some fittings for both of them
Well, I made the stupid greedy mistake of taking the hulk out to do some mining cause I had seen how stacked the belts were.
Needless to say, within 10 minutes or so, a roam came through the system I was mining in and I lost the hulk (but not my pod, thankfully)
That would be the worst loss I have suffered Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been |

When wormholes were new....
Took myself, and alt, 2 tengus, salvage cormorant, covops scout and an orca into a c4. Farmed that thing dry of 1.4bil of sleeper loot, then headed back to empire. *Nearly* made it back, but due to failscouting lost the orca with 2 tengus in it. Total loss was about 2.5 bil, plus alts pod.
None of the loot dropped (thankyou corp hanger ). 1/2 a day ragequit later, I picked myself up and got back to the grind.
From that day to this I never left empire space again, and run missions 23/7 to avoid all the mean gankers and e-bullies. Just kidding, I joined a wh corp and started killing other ppls orcas instead :) |

I managed to lose a Navy Apoc in a level 4 mission last night. Wasn't paying attention, didn't take out the scramming frigs first and also got full room aggro. That's probably my most expensive individual isk loss. Certainly the "worst" in terms of utterly boring ways to lose a ship. Made slightly worse by the fact I'd done said mission dozens of times before in a normal Apoc and come out unscathed.
I do remember also losing a Geddon to one of my first level 4 missions back in like, 2006 or 7. Back in the days where every single isk had great worth.
Worst in terms of sillyness is the first time I went to do some solo pvp (on this char actually!), involved using a thorax to try and gank someone on the lowsec side of a 0.5 system. Gate guns got me, although it was pre-HP buff back in 2005 iirc. |

I lost a drake in Venal once due to dual boxing.
I wasn't paying attention while grinding sec status. I actually thought to myself "I need to check my other screen and see if anyone has came into local". Almost at the exact same time a dramiel landed on me. followed by a fleet. followed by horrible lag and my pod. Then, on my way back after getting podded out of the area, i landed on a smartbomb gate camp.
2 pods in about 45 minute time span. Luckily I updraged my clone before undocking.
It was more of a "Eve just kicked my ass again" moment than anything else... ...Can't. Tell. If ...Troll? Or Serious.... |

This was a funny one. Within the frist 30 seconds I got accepted into RvB Red Federation. I did not know that they were currently at war with an outside corp. I was currently on my way to Isikemi, minding my own business, when they got me on the next gate I passed. I am sorry to hear that you lost your Nightmare, Karn and I sincerely hope that you will recover from the loss. Posting only nice things for 2 weeks. If anything I post should offend you, please tell me ingame by repeatedly podkilling me. Thank you. |

Worst single ship loss, a Machariel. Worst loss that didn't happen, a different Machariel due to client glitch, but the logs showed nothing. Worst total loss was due to corp theif. Worst loss due to game bug, auto-piloting an industrial when there was a bug that ignored the security status of systems and it sent me (and hundreds of others) through low-sec. Most humorous loss, getting hit by customs and forced in to -isk. (had to file a 'stuck' petition because I didn't have enough for the fine and they would not let me go)
Yes, I only have a Vigil, I've had a bad bit of luck Ok? |

Oh, i just remember. My most expensive loss in a single day. I lost 5 vultures in a battle, also the most expensive losses in a single battle. Two good fit vultures, one long range and one short range, then an experimental setup I was testing, lol. That was like 3-4 years ago. |
