Yesterday 3-30-04 18:42 GMT I had just bought my brand spanking new MegaThron from Luminaire and flew down to AMI system to do a little 0.4 NPC hunting. A few minutes i'm locked down, warp scrammbled and webbed and taking massive hits from a Pirate named "OmegaTron"
All my shields and armor is now gone and he's working into my structure, then he stops firing!?! I thought maybe he ran out of ammo? Then i get a private convo from him. Now i don't know how to paste a chat log but i'll type what i can remember. sry
OmegaTron - u have 10 seconds to transferr 20mil in my account or u will lose your ship!
L3xcia - stop shooting this is my new ship ( i know...sad )
Omega - 5 secs NOW!
L3x - i don't have any isk i just bought this ship
L3x - stop shooting ( i had about 15% structure and 1 more shot from his torps or cruise whatever he was shooting was going to kill me)
Omega - 3sec find someone who has the money NOW!
L3x - plz don't kill me i have no money ( or something embarrassing like that)
Omega - get out of your ship and i'll give u 50mil that will cover your insurance ( he said something like that)
L3x - but i paid 100mil for it?
Omega - either get out of your ship and take the 50mil or lose your ship and get nothing
(at this point i knew i didn't insure my ship and what he didn't know was that i had on a full set of implant!)
L3x - ok ok stop i'll eject, but how will i know if u guve me the isk?
Omega - u don't
so i took his offer and ejected from my ship and he did give me the 50mil.
P.S. what i didn't relize until after was the 40% insurance u get anyways so i would have got atleast 40mil back if i selfdestructed. owell lesson learned
can somebody plz kill that bastard plzzz
his name is OmegaTron and was last seen in AMI and Daran systems. plz kill him anyone. also can someone tell me how to paste a chat log or where to find it in the eve folders? thx

Yeh but if you had done that he would have podded you and you would have lost your implants as well.
Still it sucks badly.
Would have been cheaper to borrow 20 million though I think.

That is a great story. This is the kind of thing that makes me glad to be playing Eve. That pirate was so ruthless that he deserves my respect for what he did. I'd take my hat off to him if I had a hat.
On the note of your unfortunate loss, I am sorry that you lost your new ship, but at least you didn't lose your implants and you did get 50mil so it's not the worst outcome I can imagine.
Thinking about the conflict, I can see a better way out of it but it would have required a few snappy, clever decisions that would probably be lost in the heat of the moment. Instead of begging for your life, you could have reasoned with him. If he had killed you, Concord would have come and killed him, correct? The main thing I'm thinking of is that you could have bought a heckload of time by telling him that your structure is too low and that the only thing holding the ship together is your skills so that if you leave it, it would explode. You could then have asked him to wait for a while so you can regenerate your ship enough that it won't explode when you leave and tell him that he has you webbed and you aren't exactly going anywhere. I'm sure he suspected you might have had friends in the system and may have rejected this as a stall for time, but he might have accepted it and waited for a few minutes. In that few minutes, you could have gotten 20mil from a friend or something.
I'm not sure how things liek this work in eve, but as far as I can tell, he was bluffing. If he blew you up, he'd lose his ship too since concord would come and kill him, wouldn't they? I'm probably wrong about that. Could he have blown you up and left the system unharmed?

Ya, you should put that 50mill as a bounty on his head. I'm sure some one will kill him then.

Ami is a pk hotpot, if you check the map there's always a warm glow when u select ships destroyed in last 24hrs.
Very bad luck - u live and learn..
Look on the bright side though, you have more isk now than if you'd have let him destroy your ship and you still have your implants which you might possibly have lost.

Yes - probably one of his corp m8s who would then split the bounty with him

Sorry about your ship loss, but from the story you told me I really cant feel to sorry for you. The pirate in question was honorable and not just out for a quick ego boost. Hats off to him for playing the game in a fair manner.
As for your loss, there are two ways to look at it. You could have not payed him, lost your ship anyway, and had about a 50/50 chance of loosing all of your implants and having to pay for a new clone. Which would have put you out alot more money than what you actually lost. Or you could have ended up the way you did. So look on the bright side of things.
As for wanting to kill him, he got you in a fair manner, so why not spend that 50 mil on a few cruisers and go after him yourself in a fair manner.
Not really trying to sound like a *******, but he played it good, and now its your turn to return the favor back to him in the same way.

most pirates are, few arnt... jsut that they screw all pirates int eh game by giving them a bad name and stuff, still 50 mil is a lot
and you've just made a pirate 60 mil richer, i would rather selfdistruct my ships then handing them over to any enemy...
+ all my bss are plat insured

In a situation like that i think that was a great decision what you did. Many pirates offer but many lie, OmegaTron had class for offering you 50MIL for your ship. Which is alot better then losing your ship, maybe implants and get 40% insurance. But if u had like 1-2 implants then i guess u could have selfdestructed and warp away and recieve 40%.

What was the loadout on your Megathron? It can't have been very well thought out if this guy managed to devastate your shields and armour in so little time. I certainly don't mean to sound like a know it all or anything like that, but I notice that you have only been playing since January, so I wonder whether you have the skills to fly a Megathron into less than 0.4 space and keep it in one piece should you encounter pirates (which is inevitable really). I'm not saying it 'serves you right', nobody likes to lose a ship, but 0.4 and below is pirate hunting ground, don't go there if you aren't prepared to fend off or escape from.
As for adding a bounty to this guy, he's got a 0.3 sec rating, so any bouty would have to be a personal agreement between the victim and anyone taking on the job.
When you get a new ship, think about the loadout before you go bounding off into lower sec space in search of rats.

Most people want battleships ASAP...I know I did. But thankfully it took me about 6 months to get the cash together to get one, so in the end I had skills and skill levels coming out of my arse by the time I was flying a Megathron. But if I could have got one straight away then no doubt I would have done. But its besides the point...what you need to do is just think about your loadout a bit more. This thread could all to easily descend into a big argument between people who advocate differing loadouts...but if you want to hunt in lower sec space, then its unlikely you will be kitted out to fight player pirates. So throw on a couple of warp core stabalisers. Harden your ship up with some shield hardeners and a booster. And throw on a MWD to get you to the gate in a hurry should you encounter gate campers. Of course herein lies the problem with getting a battleship early on, as your skills may not allow you the power or even just the basic skill req's to run all the equipment you need to keep your ship in one piece.
Unfortunately the 'you live and learn' is very relevant here!
P.S. Having just posted this reply and seen that you are feeling a bit bashed(!), don' feel like that. Its just friendly advice. If you don't feel your corp are able to advise you on a loadout to help you out in low sec space then convo me ingame. I'll be glad to give you some advice.

I'm not saying it 'serves you right', nobody likes to lose a ship, but 0.4 and below is pirate hunting ground, don't go there if you aren't prepared to fend off or escape from.
As for adding a bounty to this guy, he's got a 0.3 sec rating, so any bouty would have to be a personal agreement between the victim and anyone taking on the job.
When you get a new ship, think about the loadout before you go bounding off into lower sec space in search of rats.
when i started i had trained right up into a BS ignoreing everything else. I mined in a Exquerer or something like that for 2 months straight. and finaly had enough for a BS. I currently only have gunnery 5, S hybrid lvl 3, M hybrid lvl 3 and large hybrid lvl 1
thats all i have for gunnery skills
Invest some time in gunnery, seriously... if it wasn't for this guy who ransomed you outta your BS, it would have been a few NPCs and then you'd only have 40% insurance payout.

thank you very much but i don't think i have the skills for a Microwarpdrive
And you fly a battleship!
It's already been said but bears repeating. You are in NO way ready to fly a battleship with your skills so sorely lacking. It really was just a matter of time (and not much at that) till you lost it.
In many ways you are more your ship than the ship is. It is remarkable how much you can improve ship performance on a given ship just via your skills. I'm six months into the game and I am still improving on my cruiser (although now it is mostly down to minor improvements in performance). I see our new recruits, despite advice, go out and get wasted once they clamber into their first tier-3 frigate or get their first cruiser. They assume the ship itself makes them tough and more often than not get killed thinking that.
That you did the same thing as our new recruits in a battleship just drives the point home in a much bigger way. That you are flying a battleship and can't use something as basic and common as an MWD is astounding (I know MWD takes a fair bit of training but it is still practically a basic requirement for all pilots). My guess is you're lucky to make that ship a tenth of what it can be considering your lack of skills. Add to that flying a brand new battleship that you seemingly could just barely afford and get into then flying it uninsured into low-sec space with a head full of implants.... Frankly you were lucky to come out with anything.
This is not all to say we don't feel your pain. It stinks to lose a ship...any ship. Sadly you just did it in much more expensive ship than most do for starters. Most people manage to have a cruiser or three blown out from underneath them and learn to respect what can happen in low sec space and (try) to be prepared for it (or at the very least know how to spot danger coming and maybe get away). You really are lucky you came out of it all as well as you did.
And as much as it pains me to say it kudos to OmegaTron for playing the pirate to the hilt. I can't say as I like getting chased and killed by pirates but ultimately pirates like him make the game more interesting and fun for all rather than just some greifer blowing ships to hell wherever they can.

It's been said, but it's important enough to be repeated a couple of times. Do not fly what you cannot afford to lose. Flying into <0.5 with a uninsured BS you can't fly knowing EW well enough to know someone used some sort of jamming device is well suicide really.
My advice, use that 50mil to have some fun in a cruiser ( a fully insured one ) and work those skills and be amazed at what you can do with a couple of mil of skillpoints backing up your cruiser compared to what you could do when you bought your first ever cruiser.

Never go under a .5 system if you are alone.
or have checked the map and it's a small area,
or you know people that are operating in that system that will protect you
or you are in a corp.
I would never fly in a .4 or under without insurance even flying a frigate.
you actually didn't make out too bad. I do have sympathy for you, but considering there are lots of pirates out there that would not have even said a word before they dusted your new BS, you really had an easy lesson of it.
Don't go to .4 or under until you just cannot stand .5+

Ehm you're acting like 0.1-0.4 empire is crawling with pirates. It's not, check the map for hotspots, keep an eye on local, and you will do fine.
Edit: Easiest way to do this that I've found is get rid of the useless round thingie at the right bottom. setup your scanner so it shows you everything you need and put that in it's place. Put your local in the right top of your screen ( don't make it to big ) and pin it there. LEave the left bottom for assets,people and places, corp channel, stuff like that ( I keep em all together if I'm not expecting any mayor lag if I expect mayor lag every window save the ones that are really really needed get closed ) It cuts into the amount of pretty graphics you can see but pinning some windows and making the UI transparent lets you have all the info you need on screen and still leaves you with plenty of eye candy.
Edit2: forgot a couple of windows ;) I keep gang on the right side between local and the scanner, and cargo hold above the corp chat ( and assets etc. ) and drones right above the module activation thingie. And I keep drones and cargo closed most of the time, those 4 icons at the bottom come in handy when you need em but that ain't that often IMO
Edit3: damn I'm stupid I keep my journal and mission information stacked with local as well when running missions you don't need that information often but I like to keep things within reach.
P.S. keep all of your windows far enough of the edge of your screen so you can still see the icons that show up there.

Or you could take your 50 mil isk add 11 mil and buy a Dominix off the market in verge, and as the others said stay out of .4 and lower space till you get your skills up, one thing you didn't mention was at what distance did you hop into the belt at? cause it takes a while for a BS to lock when you saw a red player before he got a lock on you, you should have bailed.

For the first time in a long time, I've got more respect for the pirate, than his victim.
First of all, this pirate did what pirates (IMHO) should do: Earn a lot of isk for ransom, not ganking. Being able to think out how to earn three times as much as the first request of 20M requires some real bartering skills (and some battleskills too). Kudos to you. I don't know if I would have chosen to eject, since I allways have insured my ships. (EVE isn't what I call 100% stable). But that is just me.
For the victim, I can't really feel sorry for her. I've lost a ship myself that I couldn't afford to loose because of the old live and learn motto. (It was a bestower full of tradegoods with good afterburners (pre castor), trying to reach a gate in a 0.3 system. Lesson learnt. Again, thank you TWD for being such a great tutor!) I don't blame anyone but myself (and the crappy market bug at that time), and I stayed out of 0.4->0.0 systems for a long time after that.
What I see from this...:
1. mistake/stupidity: Going straight to Battleship without training any of the support skills. (Remember the pilot is often more worth than the ship itself.) I allways tell people to go through the skills first, before getting the bs. And at least use it safely (mine in 0.5 or higher) before you can drive it properly.
2. mistake/stupidity: Going straight to a < 0.5 belt. You didn't even try flying in the belt in a cruiser before you brought your bs?
3. mistake/stupidity: Not using it for mining at least some ore in case you got wasted.
4. mistake/stupidity: Going to systems you don't know, and that is according to the others here, pirate infested.
5. mistake/stupidity: Getting into pirate territory without experience at all about what you will meet, what you may experience. (ref: warp scrambler, target jammers, propulsion jammers, pc's with ³ber gunnery/missile skills)
6. mistake/stupidity: Telling the forum that you did get a bs asap even though others warned you about it... How do expect to get sympathy for this? Please, all you new ones out there. Learn from this. I guess you would have done much better in a Thorax if you had use the time training for a mega for some of the most basic skills like mwd, weapon upgrades etc etc etc instead.
First thing I did when I got my Dominix was mining for an Mega. First thing I did in my mega was mining and doing agent missions for funds, so that 50% insurance + funds would get me a new mega. Then mining for an apoc, that I use now mainly for mining. This way I would have ships to mine with in case I loose my mega to some stupidity(tm).
Maybe this just proves why "Women can't drive(tm)". *hides for the flames*

L3xcia, you just have to write this one off to experience. A hard lesson, but you are not the first and you won't be the last. Going solo in systems below 0.5 is dangerous now, because of the number of player pirates trawling the belts... there's a lot of them making a living off less experienced players like you. Maybe you could take a couple of friends with you next time, lone pirates will think twice if they see 3x bs's rigged for combat.
Some of the above posts about skills are misleading, sure they're essential but they are not the full answer, combat experience is needed too. You can learn much by play-fighting people in the same corp, even in safe systems (note it must be the same CORP to avoid concord intervention). You can take each other down to structure and it won't cost you an isk to fix, if you can use armour and hull repair modules.
But realistically you can expect to lose a few more ships yet to more experienced pvp'ers, before you can make it an even fight.

half the people here are trying to take all the fun away from you. Me? I had a bs before I had gunnery lvl5 and I was off killing npcs with medium guns before I had skills for the large ones. Imo its more fun to train your skills whilst in a bs....after all, there is no point in having the 100mils if your not gonna spend it.
True, you should look in local, but you should also get a nice cushion of isk in your wallet you can use to pay ransoms.
Contrary to what several people have said on this thread, all pirates I know keep to their word on ransoms and to top that, I have never heard of some1 paying a ransom then the pirate blowing them up. After all, it waould be bad for business

What are you doing in a battleship with those skills? Most people could have done that same thing to you in a CRUISER. lady or no lady,that was still a very stupid thing to do. Also, dont expect to be treated specially just because you happen to be a lady, you make the whole bunch of us sound like whining idiots.
if you are interested in making back some of your loss eve-mail me maybe i can think of something for you to do

Just a couple suggestions for the future...
1) Learn to use a MWD before getting a new battleship. You do NOT want to fly a battleship without an MWD. Last time I lost hauler in 0.0 space I passed a couple non-MWD'd battleships approaching gates... in a POD. Trust me, 120-160 m/sec is unbearable!
2) With 50 mil, you can afford a Thorax, full insurance, good equipment, and be able to replace it all. Stay with the cruisers until you can control several heavy drones, use large turrets, and use a MWD. A battleship loses much of its effectiveness without those skills. A Thorax can mine almost as well as a battleship and hunt any spawns you'll find in Empire space, so you don't really NEED a battleship until you head out to 0.0 space. And you do NOT want to go into 0.0 space in a ship you can't use well yet...

My preference...if I get caught and completely locked down, the rat will get no isk except for the junk I have equipped.
A sidenote, at least you don't have to start from scratch, but before you go and hop in a new BS...train up some skills to equip it properly.
Rule 1: Never use anything you can't afford to lose.

I wouldnt go after him personally. Any pirate who holds you up that professionally, and actually GIVES you the 50mil, is a player I'm willing to respect. "...'Nought but a humble pirate," as they say. I respect people who make a living off it, its the gankers I'm out to kill.

Theres no point in going after him. I suppose you could justify putting 10million on his bounty considering your up 10 million from where you would be if you hadnt had taken his deal. So in that sense its no loss to you its his money on the his bounty. But the whole bounty system seems questionable so all and all just forget about him and move on.
Thats not eve experience talking thats life experience. If you put effort into a vendetta then you loose twice. Better to just loose once and if you feel that strongly about it dont cut deals in the future. =)

You can't even use an MWD and you were in a battleship???
There is more to skills than mining skills, starship command and gunnery skills.
Gotta have the right fitting skills, which means engineering, electronics, navigation, mechanic and a whole host of others which combined with the right combat skills, can save your sorry butt in that situation.
You were doomed from the instant you bought that battleship. Just be grateful that you still have your implants and that pirate was honorable and kept his word.

You shouldn't really fly a battleship till you have 3-4mil skill points, if u have less stick to mining in 0.5+
Also get insurance if your gonna be in 0.0-0.4 its more than worth it now it lasts for 12 weeks, i couldnt have afforded so much losses without it

Ok, I skim read most of this post, but theres 1 thing I didn't see, so I apologise if its here or I've misunderstood the actions of the pirate.
OmegaTron ransoms your ships you cant pay - he says get out and I will give u 50 mill for destroying it ( a very nice gesture indeed).
So you get out and save about 20-30mill in implants.
He then destroys your ship from which you get 40% basic insurance back which is about 40 odd mill.
He then pays you 50 mill
So lets do some maths here you got 40mill insurance and 50 mill from him which = 90mill
you saved 20-30 mill from not losing your implants so thats around 120-130 mill
so in my eyes you broke even you lost a ship for literally nothing as you have the money to buy a brand new 1 give or take 10 mill.
So why do you want the guy killed? He could have killed you and your ship and youd be out of pocket to the sum of around 140mill maybe.
You should consider yourself extremely lucky that you had a gentleman pirate attack you!!

If your BS does not have an MWD, you'll be dead slow and a softer target then when you do have one. The stabs are good to have tho, but alot of pirates use two scramblers now btw.

Ok, I skim read most of this post, but theres 1 thing I didn't see, so I apologise if its here or I've misunderstood the actions of the pirate.
OmegaTron ransoms your ships you cant pay - he says get out and I will give u 50 mill for destroying it ( a very nice gesture indeed).
So you get out and save about 20-30mill in implants.
He then destroys your ship from which you get 40% basic insurance back which is about 40 odd mill.
He then pays you 50 mill
So lets do some maths here you got 40mill insurance and 50 mill from him which = 90mill
you saved 20-30 mill from not losing your implants so thats around 120-130 mill
so in my eyes you broke even you lost a ship for literally nothing as you have the money to buy a brand new 1 give or take 10 mill.
So why do you want the guy killed? He could have killed you and your ship and youd be out of pocket to the sum of around 140mill maybe.
You should consider yourself extremely lucky that you had a gentleman pirate attack you!!
i didn't destroy her ship i paid her 50mil for it

or did you get out of the ship and he took your ship? in which case you could have stolen 1 of the ships when he went to dock with 1!?!?
after she was told to eject from her ship and leave the system in her pod and i then payed her the 50mil and besides it sounds like she only has the skills to pilot a Gallente BS.
the difficult part was i had no one to help me do this so i had to warp to a station buy a shuttle warp back eject and entered the Mega. all the while there were 3 other players in local

u would also have the chance to move out of the range of the webber and warp scrambler.

Sorry for your loss, but you will learn in time how to avoid the hotspots and also once your skills are a little higher you will have a better chance of escape.
It's always annoying to lose a battleship, but at least you didn't lose everything and you dont have much farther to go to get a dominix. 
Good job to OmegaTron for both the capture of the ship and your honor in keeping your word.

You can't even use an MWD and you were in a battleship???
There is more to skills than mining skills, starship command and gunnery skills.
Gotta have the right fitting skills, which means engineering, electronics, navigation, mechanic and a whole host of others which combined with the right combat skills, can save your sorry butt in that situation.
You were doomed from the instant you bought that battleship. Just be grateful that you still have your implants and that pirate was honorable and kept his word.
i know i know i'm training up my gunnery and navigation skills now. I have learnt a lesson trust me

It's not, and you shouldn't bash him for it. Or any others for that matter. It's more than likely english is their second language and they are youngsters :)

"On the note of your unfortunate loss, I am sorry that you lost your new ship, but at least you didn't lose your implants and you did get 50mil so it's not the worst outcome I can imagine.
Thinking about the conflict, I can see a better way out of it but it would have required a few snappy, clever decisions that would probably be lost in the heat of the moment. Instead of begging for your life, you could have reasoned with him. If he had killed you, Concord would have come and killed him, correct? The main thing I'm thinking of is that you could have bought a heckload of time by telling him that your structure is too low and that the only thing holding the ship together is your skills so that if you leave it, it would explode. You could then have asked him to wait for a while so you can regenerate your ship enough that it won't explode when you leave and tell him that he has you webbed and you aren't exactly going anywhere. I'm sure he suspected you might have had friends in the system and may have rejected this as a stall for time, but he might have accepted it and waited for a few minutes. In that few minutes, you could have gotten 20mil from a friend or something."
Plz engauge brain b4 posting on the forum.

Uhm well... L3xCia
I'm sry you lost your ship and i know it stings but in all honesty...you got lucky.
I mean. Honerable pirates are becoming a rare thing and who can blaim them with all the **** you have to put up with. Its really not that easy to toll people and alot get frustrated and decide to shoot first and ask questions later...
Atleast you got 50 mil for your ship and didnt lose a clone and implants.
Originally by: cashman
It's time for Eris to get a clue. CCP should make a statement about this.
It's the exact same things as what Zombie did, you may not attack in "safe-areas" (empire/within sentry range) without loosing your ship.

i agree i hate when players make fun of others literature, its immature studys have shown that people like that or "bullys" are the ones who are not to intelligent and are most likely "not" to succeed in life.
so to make themselfs feel better they pick on the people who "will" most likley succeed in life and who they know are smarter than them. can u say jealous.
