This is the thread where we tell our darkest eve related secrets. I once lost a Machariel and it was fitted with low meta level t1 guns. I am also a fanboy of Entity and Shadarle. 
Your turn chaps.

But... but... if we tell them.... they won't be secrets anymore 
My turn: I am guilty of fitting a Tachyon Modal Laser on my Domi (Use it as an aggro gun in missions). I was using salvagers and tracotrs beams in the highs, needed an aggro gun, so I picked the one with the most lulz factor  --------------------------------------

He thought he was in 0.0, and shot at the red hauler in High-sec. Concord politely tells him to stop. That's what I'm guessing ayway

My first ever Armageddon fit:
1x Tachyon Beam Laser I (wasn't any others for sale ANYWHERE) 6x Heavy Pulse I 1x Smartbomb
2x XL shield booster I 1x Shield boost amp I
8x Capacitor Power Relay I
admittidly this was back in 2003 before CPRs nerfed shield boosting and Battleships were as rare as Motherships are now, but still 
I lost it the same day.

I was pirate hunting once and came across a pirate. After locking him he ran away despite being in a superior ship, so I pursued, and begged him to stop running and put up a fight(since he'd probably win anyway). Apparently this ****ed him off so he led me into a fifty person camp.

I wanted to test my smart bomb and jamming scorpion so I asked a corp mate to attack let me test on them. However, they brought a alt that was not in the corp. So when I went to test my jamers in the .5 I was in Concord to exception to the test. I can tell no matter how many times that it was a miss understanding they don't care

I was heading up to our POS in 0.0 in a curse, came through a gate to find a BS camping the other side - deciding that fortune favours the brave I immediately hit my MWD accelerated towards the BS and locked it. He ran.
Unbeknownst to said BS pilot I was just moving the ship - all I had fitted was in fact the MWD....

NPC's never shoot pods.
My stupidest thing is this:
An alliance mate wanted armour reps on his pod, he was into pod-structure. So I offer up my Large rep on my geddon. I lock him up. He vanishes!
Next thing on vent: "N1fty, why you kill me? You pod me back to station, I am dead".

when i first started playing, i saved up all my money and bought a prophecy. i couldn't afford to insure it or fit it, and i didn't have any support skills anyway.
i flew it 3 jumps through lowsec on and somehow got killed by a couple of mercenary coalition interceptors camping a gate.
the most embarrassing bit was buying a prophecy. Signature removed. Too large and flashing signatures are not really permitted. Navigator |

Back when the drone regions were opening up, I was moving an entire Freighter full of POS fuels around empire. A Corp Mate asked me about the system we were going to colonize, and since I was not familiar with the area yet I opened the map and set destination to the system I knew was next door to it. After looking at the map for a bit I informed my Corp Mate of the system name and merrily went on my way.
15 min later I autopilot jumped thru the Taisy gate with my Freighter and 3 bill in personal pos fuels. 
I'd also have to include the time our CEO was moving all the Corp BPO's in his Vagabond and forgot about it. He died in PVP and provided over 150 BPO's to the enemy. Man, I'm glad that idiot is gone!

Real stupid: Later on that same day, still stinging from the loss and in a fog, got podded in an industrial going to get 100K worth of cargo containers in another 0.4 system. You guessed it, I had replaced the implants 30 min earlier.

Warning: epic fail
With the invention of Recons i trained/jumped into an Arazu, faction/T2 fitted out including faction disruptors and proceeded to search out something to gank...
I came across a mining apoc, light drones out to kill rats...
Mining in low sec, the character was only 2months old.
Time to kill i thought to myself.
Just was i was about to engage, my drones to kill his. He began to warp!
I followed, jumping system, to system, getting more excited.
He found a belt and again settled in to mine.
I decloaked, sent drones after his, scram'd him and began to engage...
Only to see a warning from CONCORD and a fleet of police ships turn up :S
I hadn't been paying attention and had jumped from low sec, low sec, low sec into 0.5

Not as epic a fail as some, but...
Finally saved up enough cash to buy my first Thorax, stripped the gear off my Catalyst(!!) and slapped it onto the cruiser, and promptly lost it to a level 1 mission when I was busy braggin in chat about joining the Cruiser ranks, and suddenly realized that I hadn't engaged my armor repper when i was already into structure.... Thought I had managed to warp away at the last second, but lag caught up to me and all that warped away was my pod. Every ISK I had was left behind in the wreckage.
I was so I didn't even say a word to the corp, just suddenly appeared in a Vexor a few days later.... This is my sig. There are many like it, but this one is mine. |

I have a good one. Was doing missions in a rigged myrm and lost it due to overconfidence twice in a row 
Anyway that put me in the hole so I had to ***** out the thorax with miner 2's to earn enough for a new myrm. After hours and hours of mining with lots of can flippers bothering me all day long. I finally had enough to outfit a new myrm. So there we had it! A shiny new rigged myrm with reasonable fittings. Undocked and 'lo and behold. There was an afk pod sitting outside the station with a 5m bounty on it. uhh that would be a nice start to earning back some of the lost time. Quick easy little pop for 5m isk. It's only a 0.5 system. I mean how fast can Concord really be? and hey! This guy is obviously not a nice person, so maybe they won't even bother to show up at all! and if they do, I have a decent tank and can just warp away, right? A few seconds later, I had my 5m bounty! Wohoo! and 1-2 seconds after that, I was in my pod... God damnit! Docked my pod and got into my hauler. Man I better salvage my wreck and get as many of the mods as possible before the scavengers show up! Undock, Boom! Concorded again...  Needles to say, 15 minutes later, I undocked my thorax once again...

When the encounter system was added (the stuff you find with ship scaner) I decided to fit a cheep brutix to go run some, after arriving in my little home from home in empire in what turned out to be a fully T2 fit brutix, I was about to warp to the gate to lowsec when I noticed some noob asking in local for someone to haul his jetcan for him.
Feeling oddley helpful at that moment and this noob being actually coherent and polite, I asked him how much m3 he had, found I could fit most of it in my BC so I told him I’d haul a load for him…
Warping to his belt I see a rookie ship, and two jetcans, I just assumed both were his, opened one, went to scoop the can and realised that I’d only gotten like 30m3 cos my hold was full of boosters.
Was about to laugh at myself in local… when I see a flashy red deimos uncloak which swiftly proceeds to engage me.
Very nice little fight go’s down over the next minute or two, his damage is pretty horrific, but I’m fitting a duel rep tank and injector and am just about keeping up, it all go’s sour for him as he fails to notice I’m killing all his drones, and once there gone I’m in low armor and he’s in structure… Boom go’s the deimos 
The noobie is pooing himself in local at the awesome fight going on 5km from his hull, when the defeated deimos pilot says something like "**** that, pod me please"
I make guns hot, go to lock… and somehow manage to lock the wrong damn pilot, I’m locking the damn noob’s rookie ship, but I’m also franticly typing something ******** in local like "awesome fight, thought I was done there, enjoy the trip" etc, and don’t notice until BOOOM I’ve one volleyed the noob.  
Concordoken swiftly follows, and all three of us are left there in our pods laughing our asses off… Except for the noob, who was really ****ed at being blown up until we told him he’d get another one for free as soon as he docked.
Cost of helping a noob with his ore: 200m+ worth of ships, and a slight loss of dignity from all involved.

I was chaining Sansha Overlords for over 4 hours, got around 9K m2 of loot and salvage in a can that I was refreshing every hour. I was equipped with 1 tractor beam - for draging along my CAN among other things. When it was really close to the morning I was so tiered that I decidet it's enough. With my guns I cleaned everything INCLUDING my CAN (it was locked becouse I was draging it along all the time).

After a few too many liquid refreshments one night, I was travelling solo back to my home in a Taranis, with a load of skillbooks.
Jumped through a gate, saw a ship there, locked it, thought, oh easy, it's an Iteron. Scrambled, webbed and started to shoot. Just then I notice that I am locked, slowing down, and losing armor.
WTF I thought, this is crazy. I have another look and realise that the ship I am attacking was in fact a Vagabond.
Taranis popped, pod followed shortly after. I am hoping that the guy had a good chuckle, thinking I had some massive back-up or something behind the gate...I mean who would attack a Vagabond in an Interceptor?

I absolutely detest PVP and think that all griefers should be detained and rehabilitated IRL because they are obviously psychopaths with no feelings for their fellow man. 
I still hope that CCP takes responsibility some day and stops encouraging strife and 'evil' behaviour and instead encourage peaceful cooperative play. I'd love to see some real consequences put in place to combat bad behaviour, such as jails and statloss, refusal of resurrection, and the ability for good players to attack criminals without consequence, like we had in Ultma Online. In addition, insurance should be forfeit upon Concord involvement in your ship destruction, or simply no insurance and Empire based clones at all for criminals. All of which is perfectly realistic, in real life insurance won't pay for your car damage either if you ram it into a jewelry store to plunder it, eh? And why exactly should Concord protect those with negative standing?

Originally by: Ankhesentapemkah I absolutely detest PVP and think that all griefers should be detained and rehabilitated IRL because they are obviously psychopaths with no feelings for their fellow man. 
I still hope that CCP takes responsibility some day and stops encouraging strife and 'evil' behaviour and instead encourage peaceful cooperative play. I'd love to see some real consequences put in place to combat bad behaviour, such as jails and statloss, refusal of resurrection, and the ability for good players to attack criminals without consequence, like we had in Ultma Online. In addition, insurance should be forfeit upon Concord involvement in your ship destruction, or simply no insurance and Empire based clones at all for criminals. All of which is perfectly realistic, in real life insurance won't pay for your car damage either if you ram it into a jewelry store to plunder it, eh? And why exactly should Concord protect those with negative standing?
Why even bother playing? Do you like it rough in real life too?

Ah well, that makes a complex discussion, already had plenty of those back in Game Design college which I attended, and I don't want to steer the thread off topic with this stuff.
Originally by: Haradgrim Why even bother playing? Do you like it rough in real life too?
I play because I like to fit my ship and train skills and do missions for NPCs. Eve is a nice complex game and I love doing calculations to optimize my ship performance. All the games nowadays are just way too dumbed down and simply do not interest me. I can't name a game which has been released in the past year that I enjoy, well except Portal I guess, for the nice story and atmosphere (still way too easy though). I only play Eve, some Guild Wars and Dwarf Fortress (look it up, it's free and interesting). Oh the good old days where games were so difficult that they took over a year to finish 
I'm the typical play-mmos-as-singleplayer-game person, I'm not a social person, there's a reason why I've been in an NPC corp for over 4 years. I guess that's a dark Eve secret too.

When I was new and still in frigates, I would fit my Rifter with both shield and armor tank thinking if I were in a real science fiction universe, I'd want to be able to keep both up. The funny thing is I engaged another Rifter to a draw and he had 1 year more in-game than me. He kept asking about my setup.
Also, I can't even guess how many times I went to haul something somewhere, whether for a mission or otherwise, only to find upon arrival that I forgot to put the stuff in my cargo bay.
I remember as a noob, getting a group of my noob corp-mates together and flying 4 jumps onto lowsec to mine Jaspet. Every rat spawn made us react like defcon 1. Fortunately for us, nobody even came into the system, let alone bothered us, so we got our ore out and felt like we just won Eve.
When I first got into a battleship my corp at the time first got 0.0 access. I assumed the system was always safe because it was controlled by a big alliance and I never bothered to check the security channels. One day I jump in and there is a bubble and a big gang of ships popping everyone who comes in. Noob-like, I'm still assuming they can't be hostile and I keep trying to ask them what is going on. Of course, I'm met with radio silence. Eventually I decloak and get popped almost instantly. Even then it took me a while to figure out that hostiles invaded the system and set up a gate camp.

Morality is not really an issue in video games, it is immoral to kill people because as a result people have been harmed / killed. In EVE, no such thing happens, the "hurt" endured by the player is due to scarcity and is more akin to the "morality" of throwing rice at a wedding when there are people starving in the world (which I'm not saying is a moral thing to do, just that it falls under different catigorization in our society).....
Morality is just like free speech, you can say whatever you want so long as it doesn't infringe on someone elses personal freedom (i.e. yelling fire in a crowded movie theatre...)

This one was fun....
First pvp op with my original toon without anyone with real expirence, we went out and set up a gate camp in a bunch of frigs (me in a rifter) and one crusier for dps (thorax). there goes the gate, attack!!!!! A hauler, sweet! It was my first kill mail As I click my mail box, I pop!?!
Ya, cruisers and frigs don't tank gate guns well.
Note to self, gatecamp in low sec with frigs=bad I guess I forgot to read the memo, lol.

First 'PvP' op ever. Four of us, only one of us more than a few months old, took a bunch of T1 PvE fitted Caracals and an ECM Scorpion into MM space through the Taisy gate. There was no camp up at the time so we set off to a dead-end system nearby. We actually managed to kill a few battleship spawns before we got set upon by what we thought was a Prophecy. About the time we got his shields down, one of our guys went down. Not knowing about armor tanks, we got all excited because we figured he was shield tanked like us. His armor did not budge a frickin' inch.
It was an Absolution, not a Prophecy.
The guy felt so bad for us, he laughed at us and let the rest of us go with our hulls intact.
By the time we got back to the gate to Taisy, there was a bubble camp up and we all got podded.
A few months after that, I decided to try 'ratting down in Curse with a Brutix.
A meta-item 1 PvE fit Brutix.
I couldn't buy anything better there and I couldn't move anything significant in since we were neutral to everyone and Doril was almost always camped. I was fairly successful at killing NPCs, but not so much so at surviving the locals. -------------------- "I am hard pressed on my right; my centre is giving way; situation excellent; I am attacking." - Ferdinand Foch at the Battle of the Marne |

I was once scouting for a roaming AXE gang up north last year during the MC-led invasion. Jumped into a system and saw two hostiles and a farmer in local. Warped to a planet at range to begin scanning some belts, and the hostiles are at the same planet, presumably trying to find the farmer as well. They're a raven and flycatcher and I'm a malediction - we're 70km apart.
With the gang behind me I figured I'd be OK as long as I could outrun the flycatcher, so I went to select the raven and approach it, only I clicked on the distant planet directly behind the raven by mistake, and then I clicked the warp icon instead of the approach icon before I'd realised my first mistake.
The flycatcher had only begun to accelerate as I was immediately flung to the far side of the system.
I'm surprised I still get asked to scout now and then; that little incident took a good few months to live down.

Died lol, then 3 systems later going home in Pod, i get webed and questioned if i was CA lol =D. he let me go tho, becuase i wasn't :P. plus he found the warning of the camp upahead usefull =) (cheers to that guy, if you still play/rememeber me :P) ------------------------SiG-------------------- No Stealing My SiG!, This SiG is protected by the Supreme Interactive Guard.

As a noob, I was flying my shiny new Navatis, and I'd decided it was time for me to leave the Cistuvaert system. I bravely selected the Alentene stargate and hit warp. Unfortunately, I only made it about halfway... I didn't have the capacitor to get there.
So I turned around and went home... and spent three more days mining to earn a Tristan, which I hoped would get me out of the solar system. 
That very day I escaped Cistuvart, perhaps three jumps out, I suddenly realized I must have entered low-sec. And wouldn't you know it, there were ships around the gate... the infamous gate-camp I'd read about on the forums. Figured I was dead as I slammed on my civilian afterburner and roared back to the gate, spamming local on the way: "Don't kill me guys! Just took a wrong turn!" And I made it back to safety.
I'd mistakenly thought the little yellow dot next to the 0.5 system name meant I was in low-sec. 
And I think I'm going to stop there...

Carrier ratting with dedicated looter/salvager alt.
Had a small npc frig close to carrier, activates a couple of SB's. Unfortunately I already warped alt to 0 from carrier, alt gets agressed, all 12 fighters attack, I desperately try to recall them and warp off, but its too late. Salvager alt dies. Even worse, in my panic i forgot to turn of SB's, so not only did i kill my own ship without concord help in 0.0, i also podded my alt.

Went ratting in a pimped (faction fit) raven.
Had been drinking a bit.
Cloaked, and went AFK to go rant at some people.
Came back, and found that I'd cloaked in the belt. Some teeny weeny NPCs (destroyers or frigates or something) had spawned, <2km from me. Popped my cloak, and nibbled my raven down to structure.
Also, when selling about a billion isks of zydrine, on the market, proceeded to typo when 'amending' the order to undercut someone. So sold the whole lot at a tenth market value (390/unit rather than 3900/unit).
My machine lagged, just as the realisation of what I'd just done kicked in. -- Crane needs more grid 249km locking? |

After two years in game small projectile and hybrid guns, and medium projectile guns are the only T2 weapons I can use (apart from drones.)
I sometimes sit cloaked in my recon probe launching Thorax in New Eden and gank people making a pilgrimage to that system.
I shout obscenities in local chat when a system is empty.
I got really drunk once last year and made disparaging and sexist remarks about Rosario Dawson in Madirmilire or Amarr. Maybe both.
I never had as many battleships in Delve as I said I had.
I imply in my character bio that I won't attack people if they're in an NPC corp. That implication is a crock of ****.

After my first couple of weeks (or maybe week) I got tired of running around garbage for those lame agents so I decided to go explore thinking there must be something really hot; expensive and cool in the furthest 0.0 systems I could find. Needless to say I got popped by someone whilst entering 0.0. I actually convoed him and asked him for his reasons and then got really mad over the answer LOL.
Used to thin civilian modules were the best of the best because they served me so well on my velator... 
Petitioned a Tristan fitted with civilian modules and got it reimbursed (game crashed (which it did a lot back then) when entering a mission); must have been not worth more then 300k isk; sweet thing was though i was extremly mad about the late petition response time and asked for and was actually granted 2 days of added play time. - - -

Way back in the day I lost my first thorax whilst afk using autopilot. Didnt realise that the autopilot route took me through syndicate . Took me about a month to save for that rax and it wasnt even insured cos i couldnt afford it 
A month later I lost my second thorax when i jumped into low sec and found some gate campers. It was my first PVP experiance and i just froze up. My hands were shaking so bad i couldnt click on anything so i just sat there and died Again it was uninsured cos i couldnt afford it. Isk used to be so much harder to make back then
Most recent one was in 0.0. I was in a large roaming hac gang in my deimos when local started really filling up. We were seriously outnumbered and after our scouts reported one of the gates totally clear our FC gave the order to make a run for it. I warped to the wrong frikin gate, streight into the middle of the enemy fleet

I was in balle, in my PvP fitted Ishtar... t2 thingies on it. I had a Snowball launcer fitted on the most right high slot, full with snowballs (they used to work by then, still have 10k of them). I saw an incursus, locked it and fired a snoball... at least that's what i thought... I accidentally hit the rail just a little bit on the left of the snowball launcer... i was doomed, so i though i should kill the guy anyway... Concord was all around me, by the time i poped his incursus... I tryed to warp and i was NOT scrambled... i made it to the next belt, were i finally died by concord... The guy i had kill started screaming in local that i should have died (he didn't know that i did die in the next belt). Now the only thing i warried about, was how am i going to get my loot before someone discovers what happened and where i died... So i send the noob i killed, 1 million isk and told him to shut up for 15 minutes.

Coming out of warp 15 km in front of the gate I stopped and started to lock one of three Megathrons' to apply my sensor dampener...

I once lost a rigged Drake to a 0.0 entry point camp. Not too bad, happens all the time. I proceeded to buy a new Drake and rig it again (I got rigs from corp), then lost it the next day in a particularly hard L3 mission.
Needless to say, I just logged off and didn't say anything. The worst bit is, next time I did that mission I picked a better mix of hardeners and didn't have to warp out once.

I also like to fire missiles at different targets for the same reason.

Never finished the Eve tutorial, I just kept trying and giving up until one time I got it. I think it was my 4th trial account.
My first 2 weeks playing Eve I never realised there was equipment besides Civilian on the market. I was flying a Catalyst with a Civilian shield booster, dying in level 2 missions frequently.

To re-affirm my good faith in humanity (lolwtf) i have come up with a game, for every 1 mil i receive i will deposit 10 mil back into your account.
Good luck everyone!

Decided to use autopilot and go get a coffee while i was jumping. Came back to my screen to find me sitting in mormelot in my pod 15km from the gate.
'DAMN IT!!! i just got suicide ganked in 0.6' i told everyone. Luckily i hade enough isk from the insurance and in my own wallet to get another.  "I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant" |

Let's see:
In my first week in EVE as a n00b (the only excuse I have):
- Fitting my first merlin with triple civilian gatlings and congratulating myself on a good fit in corpchat... 
- Not being entirely aware of empire/low-sec, I figured it was a good idea to set autopilot to 'avoid pod kills'. I spent 45 jumps flying to a mining op that was just one system over... 
In more recent years:
- Recycling instead of repacking my first HAC... and even pressing ok in the warning window...
- 50 jump haul in an industrial to find out I forgot to load what I was supposed to haul... 
- Happily engaging a PVP target only to find out I still had an all-snowball launcher fit (I did get away though).  .

Same here. There's just something satisfying about not being able to see your target for ten straight seconds under all the explosions. :)
First fleet battle I was in, I accidentally hit the keys to go to the solarsystem map when I was trying to jam an enemy and spent about thirty seconds trying to figure WTF had happened. When I took damage from someone, I panicked, hit the MWD icon and shot out in a random direction, unable to see where I was going. Somehow, I survived.
Me and my gang once had criminal status for attacking a ratting Raven. However, he got the upper hand and I warped out. After repairing, I warped back to my gangmate. Seeing a flashing red ship (they're bad!), I panicked and warped away from my own ally to a station, then wonder why the sentries are shooting me.
It was about then I decided a pirate's life wasn't for me. :)

1. I'd spent a bit of time ratting in Catch, and when I decided to sell my ratting phoon and move out, I checked the market, saw buy order for 85 million, and a sell order for 75 million, all in the same station I was docked in. "Amazing" I thought, "I can make some money here" and I promptly sold my phoon to the buy order, bought another one, sold that to the same buy order. Checked wallet.. I'd misread the numbers completely, and not only sold my phoon for 85k but I'd bought another one for 75mill and sold that for 85k as well.
2. Killed someone in a lowsec belt in my assault frigate then immediately warped to gate, with gcc. Done that more than once.
3. In 0.0, I was flying a stabber with fighters assigned, there was a neutral myrmidon at the station. I warped in, approached the myrm, locked the station, warp scrambled the station, set the fighters on the station, almost died to sentry fire

When I was a noobie I was trying to make instas in low sec for my CEO and some pirate sniped my frigate at a gate. I immediately started typing in corp chat about it and got podded (didn't know how podding worked back then), lost a set of +1 implants.
More recently, I spent the better part of two weeks bragging about how awesome my blockade running is going to be for running gate camps when I finish training for it, then got owned and podded not 20 minutes after buying my first one while trying to get out to 0.0 to transport some loot.
