Just idly wondering. Whilst attempting to tame the unholy vortex of mayhem that is my assets list, i came across a lil' lonely Vigil named OSF Flypaper and realized, holy crap, that was my first ingame non-rookie ship from Oracle. If i ever get a say in what POSes can have once we "get inside" stations, i'll vote for a museum to stick it in.
What have you got lying around from who-knows-when? What's the oldest ship you still have in one piece? What's the oldest ship you still fly?

It's really not to interesting how old a ship is since anyone can shove a ship in a hangar and leave it there for a year. I'd rather be interested how many fleet engagements and kills a ship has survived.
I want little notches on the side of my*****pit for kills.

I don't think any of my ships are more than 10 months old. The oldest one is either the Scorpionfly or the Crimson Narwal, a Claw and Enyo respectively.
In light of Frug's post I had a Stiletto that survived two Empire wars and then got taken into Delve to fly with BoB. It survived multiple ops in that regard and was then given to Tamia Clant when I returned to Empire in January. That thing was bulletproof. |

only ship I own that's been alive since 2006. Everything else has been destroyed or sold...  |

my flag ship the NBS Gustavus Adolphus was one of the first rokhs in game, fitted with 425s from back when they cost 20mill each, fighting under ka-tets flag in ym- (or y-m i can't remember) with numerous fleet fights, surviving a titan bomb that i wasn't even expecting, fought along side IAC against FIX, as well as refitted for guerilla ops against FIX spending a few weeks living in their space. It's last battle was against Coven with lots of cap ships involved, it's now sitting in a station somewhere awaiting the call for a traditional fleet battleship.
It's in my mind a complete ship of the line meant for nothing more than firing a broadside in the face of whichever **** gets on the wrong side of the true emperor.
Like it's name sake i hope for it to be destroyed in a full on charge against the enemy, anything less will upset me greatly.

Oldest ship in my collection. My first Kestral bought in December 2005.
Ship I own with the most history behind it. My buzzard bought an fitted in August 2006 when covert-ops cloaks where going for 60M+. That ship has seen the very first DDD set off in TQ. It's seen the first DDD used in anger, and another half dozen after that along with surviveing the BoB vs ASCN war. I still use the ship to this day. |

I have a ship named Serenity that was my first Frigate (a Maulus), and The Icehold, an Exequeror, which was my first Cruiser.
Still intact after 3 years. :)

My Manticore Stealth Bomber, Voodoo Spirit.
A little over a year and a half old, seen multiple harassment missions and a few all out fights as ranged fire support. Best fight it was involved in was against a shiny new hurricane. Two Manticores and one tackling wolf ate a 50 % faction fit / 50% T2 Hurricane to death. Guy wasn't a newb either so it wasn't easy.
Second is a Ferox I'd lost some months back to a EXM gate camp. Until that point it had survived nearly a year and a half of constant anti piracy, and later piracy, as my heaviest flagship.
I gun fitted it after the drake came out and though obsolete it still had a place in my heart. Now it has a place in some ones wallet, heh.

A merlin from somewhere around August 2006. Now sits in a hangar gathering dust.
Oldest ship I still use would be my Raven, I guess. Bought it in desperation in mid 2007.
However, the one with the most history would be a salvaging destroyer sitting in Jita from early 07. I used it to salvage when it was first introduced, and made a cool 200 mil in a week doing it. Too bad prices are low now. :P

Yeah, I'm tired - i guess that's what i meant to say in my muddled way when i said "ship you still fly."
In that case it'd be my Cyclone. I love that thing. Its age is artificially inflated (like my toon's :P) due to long absence; but it lived thru the end of our time in Curse, various reloc-ing around, building Unity station (RIP, sniff), and once tackled an Apoc and tanked it for several minutes until help arrived to finish it off. I lub my Cyclone in ways that are only legal in Gallente space

lol... Mine still has structure damage from the last suicide tackle it did in a mission.
Oldest ship... some condor I left sitting in station in the middle of nowhere after exchanging it for a rifter.
Ship that had the most kills until I flew sleepy... my Onyx. Lasted from about 2 weeks after they were introduced to the game until I flew it all sleepy and got caught by a nano curse on a gate... and then two Domis landed on it 
And that onyx was up to 350+ kills... amazing little ship

I've got a burst that dates from day two of launch (would have been day one, but we had to wait an extra day here in the states). I've got a probe and a slasher from day three. All NPC bought--no one was making them. No one *could* make them, at that point.
I've got a mammoth that's about a week "younger." Still fly the mammoth fairly regularly, and the probe on very odd occasions. Oldest combat ship is probably that slasher. Oldest PvP ship would be a rifter. I don't fly it, on to shinier, faster things now (confirmed hatred of battleships: too slow, not enough DPS for their speed, and carriers/dreads do not appeal at all for the same reason--plus cost).
Hell, I'd never even been podded until this year when I came back, and then it was gate lag that did it ("What's this email? ... your clones has ... wtf? My phoon is fine, I'm still cloaked and almost outside the bubble ... oh, I've stopped moving. Hm.").

I still have the first Occator that I bought, about 18 months ago. I have managed to keep it alive through god knows how many runs up and down god knows how many 0.0 pipes. Anymore all it does is sit around in empre however, as I cant really play as much as I used to

I am still flying a command ship I bought the day they came out and it will have its 3000th kill soon. Survived jumping into high sec countless wars gate camping.
Has been in dock for a few months while I am stuck in a naglfar spinning the ship in station waiting for someone to give the order.

Thorax, >4.5 years old now
Its my 2nd thorax (and 3rd ship ingame), 1st thorax took me a week to mine and lost it on the same day to Jim Raynor & Drax both in scorps gatecamping.
Got that 2nd one 4 days after (~13 days ingame) and looked after it very carefully, now stored in Luminair cathing dust.
May you live in interresting times. |

Maybe he meant "as a last resort"? 
I currently own a rigged raven, although I've never purchased one in my time in EVE other than once on the test server. Stolen rigged ravens from onlining POS's ftw

This game used to have mines? 
Obviously I'm a newer player, so none of my stuff dates to before 2007. but I still have my very first Imicus, the "Palsied Tumor" I pull it out now and again just for fun.
