Bad Harlequin Minmatar Chiroptera Factor	Posted - 2008.04.26 00:29:00 - [1] 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?
Frug Repo Industries R.E.P.O.	Posted - 2008.04.26 00:33:00 - [2] 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.
Dirk Magnum Spearhead Endeavors	Posted - 2008.04.26 00:34:00 - [3] Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 26/04/2008 00:35:52 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.
Lord Evangelian Gallente The White Mantle	Posted - 2008.04.26 00:37:00 - [4] I had an ishkur that I had with the original 5 I bought when I could start using Asualt ships over 1 year and 3 months ago.......it was destroyed last week...so now the oldest ship i have is a brutix that I bought 11 months ago
Rawr Cristina Caldari Naqam	Posted - 2008.04.26 00:37:00 - [5] Hmm, probably my Phantasm (and yes, it's seen combat) only ship I own that's been alive since 2006. Everything else has been destroyed or sold...
Nicholas Barker MASS Ministry Of Amarrian Secret Service	Posted - 2008.04.26 00:44:00 - [6] Edited by: Nicholas Barker on 26/04/2008 00:46:22 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. edit - spelling mistakes
AKULA UrQuan Caldari STK Scientific Black-Out	Posted - 2008.04.26 00:47:00 - [7] 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.
Hannobaal Gallente Shadow Forces Inc.	Posted - 2008.04.26 00:50:00 - [8] Well piloted Cov Ops never die. In other words, my Cheetah.
Siigari Kitawa Gallente The Aduro Protocol	Posted - 2008.04.26 01:02:00 - [9] 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. :)

Wilvarin Sense Thundercats RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.26 01:11:00 - [11] I have an Iteron Mk3 from june or july 2003, that and breacher somewhere I think still have cruises fitted.
Diek Ran Amarr Autonums	Posted - 2008.04.26 01:19:00 - [12] I've a Badger in my hanger that I bought with one of my alts in late 2005. __________________________________ Originally by: Verlyn I know it's my own fault, BUT THATS NOT THE POINT!
TwoDoubleThree	Posted - 2008.04.26 01:27:00 - [13] That would be the Bahtham from sometime late 2006 when I started Eve.
Radcjk Caldari Dark Star LTD Atrocitas	Posted - 2008.04.26 01:34:00 - [14] Edited by: Radcjk on 26/04/2008 01:35:04 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.
Johli Caldari AWE Corporation Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2008.04.26 01:36:00 - [15] 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
Bad Harlequin Minmatar Chiroptera Factor	Posted - 2008.04.26 01:41:00 - [16] Originally by: Frug I'd rather be interested how many fleet engagements and kills a ship has survived. 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
Alski Gallente Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:06:00 - [17] I still have my first ever cruiser, a genuine antique 2 and a half year old passive shield tanked Celestis named "parrot of doom" - (combat) Patch belonging to CCP hits your drones, wrecking their liberty and freedom.
techzer0 IDLE GUNS	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:14:00 - [18] Originally by: Hannobaal Well piloted Cov Ops never die. In other words, my Cheetah. 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 ------------ Originally by: CCP Mitnal It's great being a puppetmaster
Bad Harlequin Minmatar Chiroptera Factor	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:15:00 - [19] Originally by: Johli ...my Raven, I guess. Bought it in desperation... wait, there's a story here. How does one buy a Raven "in desperation?"
Kilhu Emmek Minmatar Redshift Industrial	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:16:00 - [20] 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."). -- Recruiting.

Capn' Krunch Gallente Life. Universe. Everything. Wrath.	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:17:00 - [21] Edited by: Capn'' Krunch on 26/04/2008 02:17:11 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 >-------------------------------------------------< Asteroids are my breakfast cereal.
Saris Battlestars GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:20:00 - [22] 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.

Purvy Amarr Purvy's Used Panty Shop	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:20:00 - [23] I'm sure i still have a blackbird from 2004. Although i doubt it still has the cruise missile launchers still fitted.
Jargo Stonecutter Gallente Honour Bound Insurgency	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:21:00 - [24] 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.

How does one buy a Raven "in desperation?" 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.

Treelox Amarr Market Jihadist Revolutionary Party	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:37:00 - [27] I still have my ORIGINAL noob frig, it is named "My Little Pony" almost 2.5yrs later and I still move it around with me when I switch my base of operations. I guess it has become my good luck tailsman. --
Tortun Nahme Minmatar Umbra Synergy Final Retribution Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:40:00 - [28] I still have my first cheetah, and while it has seen 10% structure more than once it is still kicking, over 2 years old Originally by: Cecil Montague They should change that warning on entering low sec to: "Go read Crime and Punishment for a few days then come back."
DroneBay Diva AbChao Synchr0nicity	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:41:00 - [29] I had an Ishtar last 1 month once. _____________________________________________________________________________
Bish Ounen Gallente Omni-Core Freedom Fighters Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:53:00 - [30] Originally by: Kilhu Emmek Remember mines? 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.

Jivic Czon	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:58:00 - [31] An Ibis far inside Empire, galaxies way from me lol.
Ledner Coldwell	Posted - 2008.04.26 02:59:00 - [32] Probably an old rifter of mine that's seen a few kills, kept in an ornamental hall in the Caldari War Museum.
Amastat Caldari Omegatech	Posted - 2008.04.26 03:00:00 - [33] I'm focusing on high sec stuff for the sake of money right now so I can arm myself with a personal armada of well equipped ships - so I havn't lost anything in a while. I have a Raven I have had for going on probably 5+ months now. I could of had some older ships but I was pretty much purely combat and worked in low-sec and 0.0 strictly for the majority of the time I have had this char - the average lifespan for those ships were probably lucky to see a month. ____________________ "All warfare is based on deception... we must seem unable...seem inactive...and crush him " - Sun Tzu, the
HostageTaker Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2008.04.26 03:03:00 - [34] The lag the mines created was more lethal than their actual damage. Back in the day there was no fancy cloaking upon jumping from system to system. You would jump and your ship would just appear in the next system in 3-4 different spots called JIPs (Jump in points) Now, we used to deploy mines to lag the person jumping into the system, btw before the mines it was jet cans but GMs put a stop to that real fast, hence the timer for the jet-cans you see today. Anyway, the mines, they would lag people out, while they sat at a black screen loading space, on our screen they were dying and getting sent to their cloning bays After mucho whineage, mines were phased out of game... >>> EvE-Online Wallpapers <<<

I own a single mine I got from a friend who played at the time they were around, and he has a BPO for it i think - its a dead item though. ____________________ "All warfare is based on deception... we must seem unable...seem inactive...and crush him " - Sun Tzu, the
Arvald Caldari The Ninjapirates	Posted - 2008.04.26 03:22:00 - [36] my cerberus that ive had for a good solid week now =D, havent used it in pvp though as it has a good 500m isk in faction ** on it Quote:** Shooting the hostage does usually remove a critical bargaining chip of the hostage takers I don't think it mattered at that point, we were already bargaining with missile launchers
Mecinia Lua Galactic Express Frontier Trade League	Posted - 2008.04.26 04:03:00 - [37] I still have my original rookie ship :P I've lost a lot of ships over the last couple years or so though :). Just never lost that one. Thoughts expressed are mine and mine alone. They do not necessarily reflect my alliances thoughts.
Havohej Minmatar The Defias Brotherhood	Posted - 2008.04.26 04:35:00 - [38] I've got this Kestrel that I bought a long time ago in my first experiment with cross-racial ships. I fitted it with rocket launchers and stuff. I didn't like it much, so it's still sitting in my hangar in Gelfiven. I also have a Hurricane I used to rat in in 0.0 before I finally broke down and trained up to fly battleships for more efficient sec status grinding... it remains in my hangar in 0.0. Other than those two ships, which are both about 4-5 months old (the 'cane has had its insurance renewed once), I have never flown the same ship for more than a week... I like taking risks in the interest of fun PvP, so I tend to die. л┬╥▬─ ~ ~ ~
Pitt Gallente Invicta.	Posted - 2008.04.26 04:47:00 - [39] I have my first tristen(~6-2003) and first thorax(~8-2003). Interesting fits on them, lasers and shield tanks I keep them in a random low sec station just cause that's where they got left for years and now I consider it my personal mini time capsule. Other ships of note, cruise fit blackbird, caracal, and ofc kestrel. *How many must die in the name of God before the Devil is satisfied*
Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS	Posted - 2008.04.26 04:57:00 - [40] I think i have a caracel from the day I started.

ThaMa Gebir Gallente Raddick Explorations Friend or Enemy	Posted - 2008.04.26 06:16:00 - [41] I am pretty sure I have an incursus, the third I bought ingame, that's about 3 years ago. It has been in 3 empire wars, low sec delivery master, experimental nano ship, experimental mini-enyo, anti-inty ship, corp frigate training ship (was used to teach new guys about tracking), experimental bs tackler and all round funship. I love the thing, and I have him now sat fully fitted in pride of place in my ship collection. The one and only; Lil' Bugger. I rarely fly him now and I am unsure of what fitting I have on him, but believe me I doubt I will risk him ever again... Cute little sod. I would probably cry if I ever lost him. ---------------------------- Confirmed heaviest member of RDEX........ Hah, no more hijacks here!!!!
Freya Runestone Minmatar	Posted - 2008.04.26 06:26:00 - [42] My Iteron V is over a year old. Been using it regularly too. All my other ships blow up. But nobody has killed my It V yet. I have a scythe thats older somewhere, but I never used it. So not really fair competition :p

Marlenus Ironfleet Towing And Salvage	Posted - 2008.04.26 06:41:00 - [44] I've only been playing a couple of years, so nothing too old that I bought. But I do have an ancient Badger, plain badger, that I found adrift in deep space using Observator probes. It was fitted with two, count them, two, identical afterburners, so I think it might date from the days when you could burn multiple afterburners on the same ship. When was that? I've since taken the Badger into a war situation -- it happened to be parked near by -- after a corpmate in a kestrel killed an indy war target full of goodies. Ended up under the guns of a battleship, but got away. ------------------ Ironfleet.com
Christari Zuborov Amarr Ore Mongers Black Hand.	Posted - 2008.04.26 07:10:00 - [45] Edited by: Christari Zuborov on 26/04/2008 07:11:48 Prophecy, around 1.5 yrs old - I don't think it's seen combat. I started going for the larger ship types and figured, screw that, concentrate on the smaller ships first.

Even though you couldn't do anything with them. Also, don't ships in space disappear with server maintenance?

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. I bought some a few weekends ago during a fit of drunken Jita watching. Someone offered some mines for a mil or two and I knew I just HAD to have them I asked in Q&A about them a few days ago and the ISD folks said that they can't be deployed in space anymore. It's a Castor thing, actually.
Andrue Amarr	Posted - 2008.04.26 07:56:00 - [49] Edited by: Andrue on 26/04/2008 07:57:34 My first battleship. Built for me in the summer of 2004 by a gentleman called Spaceman. I ran L3 missions and mined with it for a while. I was one of the first to encounter the web scrambling Mordus frigate back before they added a red warning to the mission text. By good luck I happened to pop it early on so I survived with a warp-out. Eventually I outgrew it and left it at an old agent station. Early last year I picked it up and used it as a loot ship. Now it's been retired again because I have a Golem for looting. I wonder when I'll next use it Edit:Atually I probably have a Bestower somewhere that dates back from February 2004. I never sell them and I've never lost one so it's a fair bet. -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years) [Brackley, UK] My budgie can say "ploppy bottom". You have been warned.
Shar Tegral	Posted - 2008.04.26 08:15:00 - [50] I have a bellicose that was manufactured near the end of May, 2003. It has never been repackaged either. I leave it sitting in the station "we" (being my old team back then) operated out of the most. Just to remind me of those times.

Galk Gallente Autumn Tactics All the things she said	Posted - 2008.04.26 08:19:00 - [51] lit mrk3 2nd ship i bought in the game. Recalling it, i mined in nothing but a imicus (first ship) i bought in the first day after scraping up 140k isk with mining belt 3 in cist.... stayed there the week mining belt to station full cargo drops, earning me around 1.5 million.... come the friday of that first week, payed 1.4 million for the lit3... a massive 7! jumps away (felt like a big adventure at the time) Had and used the ship extensively till i finaly got around to training for the lit5 around oct/nov 03. fun days in eve realy.... that ship made me many friends at the time.... back in the day you could offer yourself up to go help on mining trips with players, help to haul ect ect... In fact (ramble ramble) despite thinking 7 jumps were a great adventure at the time... few days later i was off on a mine with 7 others in a 0.2 to haul.... world then belongs to you.. before i knew it off to -sec mining.. banging npc's for fun... 0.0 all the way... heh, have a good day guys and gals ______
Ben Derindar Dirty Deeds Corp. Axiom Empire	Posted - 2008.04.26 08:28:00 - [52] The longest surviving ships of mine that I can recall would be my old low-sec ratting Moa that I used for a couple of months in mid-2004 and now have gathering dust in Amarr. That, or the dual 10MN AB Badger II I have parked in 3JN, Deklein from about the same period, but saw even less use than the Moa. The ship I was the most attached to was my first Armageddon, which I used for ratting in the JZV constellation long before there was an IAC, from around August/September 2004. From there I took it to Syndicate where it survived the VV-VCR fleet battles between JQA/friends and SPURM/friends, then later flew it to ASCN space where it survived the G/IRON/RZR southern invasion of Christmas 2005. When Tribal Souls were evicted from Paragon Soul in 2006 I flew it down to LX5 where it was used for plexing for a while before the BOB/ASCN war. It was left there for some months until BOB & AXE became blue to each other, and I always meant to fish it out in 2007 but by the time I got around to getting down there again, BOB had abandoned the region. So I reluctantly sold it after three years. /Ben Ben Derindar: Eve CSM candidate
Ioci Gallente Ioci Exploration	Posted - 2008.04.26 09:33:00 - [53] My very first Shadow Serpantis kill, popped in an .8 sec dropped a 1 run bpc for a Daredevil. That was back in '05 when I started playing. I still have it. I rat with it and have it nano fitted as best as what you can for a Daredevil. They didn't have much of a base speed. With the nano, I can engage PvP and have done so but I am pretty selective about my engagements with her. It doesn't have the uber special ability of say the Amarr version but it's still fun to fly and it looks so damn cool. The serpi family banner to the right? That's a Daredevil, or at least that's what the Daredevil looks like.
MuffinsRevenger EmpiresMod Arcane Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.26 09:39:00 - [54] Still have my first battleship, an Apocalyps that i originaly got for mining, ended up doing lvl3's in it together with random corpmembers (back when lvl3's where scary and lvl4's where totaly impossible to even atempt!!11) I used to shieldtank it and i haven't repacaged it since i first bought it Still remember undocking in it for the first time from jita 4-4...

Thargat Caldari North Star Networks Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.04.26 10:20:00 - [57] Edited by: Thargat on 26/04/2008 10:21:53 Lost a crow recently in a 1 vs 2 ceptor dogfight that lasted for some 10-15mins (noone warped out). That crow "PrSstens Lilla Krska" (referring to a Swedish childrens song about a crow) survived some 128 engagements and 9 large battles (not scoring kills in every one of them though) over a period of about a year. Also have a carrier that's been involved in uncountable fleetbattles (and some 30 capkills), but it's not very astounding for a carrier. edit: had the wrong number of fleetbattles... I used a cheaper crow for most of them There's only one sig that matters... and that's Radius.
TimMc Gallente Genos Occidere	Posted - 2008.04.26 10:38:00 - [58] All you weirdo's are packrats. I blow up my ships for insurance either in PvP or self destruct if they get unused or old.
Asestorian Domination. Phalanx Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.26 10:44:00 - [59] I've got a Rupture somewhere still that's a good few years old. It got me one of my first kills in PvP --- Quote: Welcome to EVE, a PvP game where people are - shockingly - allowed to PvP as much as they like.
Kilhu Emmek Minmatar Redshift Industrial	Posted - 2008.04.26 10:49:00 - [60] Originally by: Shar Tegral I have a bellicose that was manufactured near the end of May, 2003. It has never been repackaged either. I leave it sitting in the station "we" (being my old team back then) operated out of the most. Just to remind me of those times. Yeah, I have a few ships flown by ex-corp mates, long gone now, in my "personal hangar" in a system we used in late beta (hint: it's a 0.2, and if you were around then, the name "Leeluu" should be synonymous with (mostly failed) gate camping--yes, it was going on in beta). Mining against 0.2 rats with probes ... literally mining while point-clicking around the belt in a big arc, manually toggling the miner1s, hoping we'd be able to warp out when belt rats spawned. Bought our frig BPOs with that--I only have one of those now (the probe, first one we bought). Moved on to clearing belts in mid-sec shortly thereafter, I still have the "corp" iteron V our hauler used then (you out there anywhere, Izzy?). Bought our first cruiser BPOs that way. Then it was ship and ammo production ... WTB a reset. I really miss the character and the feel of the early game. -- Recruiting.

Ombey Obsidian Inc. KIA Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.26 10:51:00 - [61] My oldest surviving ship is a Hound Stealth Bomber. It must be covered in dust as it's in a station that RA took during the LV days. Maybe one day I'll see it again, but until then O7 -- 2d EveMaps My blog
Nafri Caldari Cataclysm Enterprises HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2008.04.26 11:09:00 - [62] hmm let me see, have my first bantam from 2003, but real combat ships it would be a cruise kestrel also from late 2003 Public Noobism

This is probably my favorite ship at the moment. That, or the Onyx. Not building the Onyx, (yet) though. --
Poht Minmatar Taurus Inc	Posted - 2008.04.26 12:27:00 - [64] Edited by: Poht on 26/04/2008 12:28:27 My Megathron with the rail setup, used bf I even joined The Priory back in the day, which makes it a very old ship. I started pvp'ing when I joined the priory and I only lost Domi's while I was with them, so that particular Mega is propably from late 2004!
Griever Takkow	Posted - 2008.04.26 12:49:00 - [65] I had a Deimos once. survived about 5 big fleet fights. and got out of a trap where i had 12 enemys locked webbed and scrammed. and it got out. i named it indiana jones ^^
AleciaMoore	Posted - 2008.04.26 13:21:00 - [66] i still have 2x cruise kes's
Tommy TenKreds Animal Mercantile Executive	Posted - 2008.04.26 13:39:00 - [67] My main Empire Crow, "Switchblade", is about two years old now. Lost the previous one to a suicide ganker in Amarr space with around 750m in the hold. This was before WTZ, and I wasn't paying attention after playing for about 12 hours straight. Bandures > tommy you like a cowboy harry )
Soporo Caldari	Posted - 2008.04.26 14:06:00 - [68] My mission Drake "Patriot" is my oldest, which is a little odd considering that in the past I would lose handfulls of them in Alliance ops.
000Hunter000 Gallente Missiles 'R' Us	Posted - 2008.04.26 14:07:00 - [69] I still own the rookieship i started of with.. didn't fly it for very long but never bothered to scrap it. A while back i came across it again, and decided to name it, it's named 'cradle of life' cuz i thought that was appropriate and in a sense of nostalgia and drama, if i do ever decide to quit this game (and no this is not yet so u cannot have my stuffz) i will board it and fly my char of into the sunset I also have my very first bs, a 3.5 year old megathron.. wouldn't be surprised if it is the oldest thron in the game hehehe _______________________________________________________ CCP, let us pay the online shop with Direct Debit!!!
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2008.04.26 16:07:00 - [70] I have a CN hookbill that's probably 16-18 months old (maybe older), and a Drake that's been alive for at least a year... bought it a month or so after they appeared ingame, never lost that first one. 1\|2\|3\|4\|5.

Curzon Dax Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2008.04.26 16:11:00 - [71] I've got the same trusty Dominix that I've always had. Most of my non-recon PvP is in my Dominix, quite a few of my Battleship championship fights have been in a Dominix...I've done gate-camp breaking in it, gatecamping in it, mission running in it, everything. :) Its been my trusty sidekick for....as long as I can remember. How long have battleships been out? =p
Kurlieu Gallente The Ore House	Posted - 2008.04.26 16:29:00 - [72] Well, I still have my first Velator. I used it to mine so I could buy an Atron, which I promptly got shot out from under me. Lost many frigates after that, of course. Not counting the Velator, I do have an Exequror which I've had forever. They're just too ugly to die. I figure most players just feel pity for such an ugly ship. I still use it for salvage operations, which it does quite well at. I've had that about 2 1/2 years.
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.26 17:05:00 - [73] I've still got my original noob-ship that spawned in my very first moments, lounging around somewhere in Oursulaert. I think I've got a batch of 5 Incursus' that I built in my first few weeks unsold in Verge, too. ------ Originally by: Dark Shikari The problem with killing Jesus is he always just respawns 3 days later anyways.
Tek'a Rain Gallente Collegium Mechanicae Holding	Posted - 2008.04.26 17:28:00 - [74] I still have my first Vexor, passed down from those heady days before the drone nerf/change. Poor thing, packed full of drones and unable to leave the station.. Still keeping it there, just in case a bug breaks the "drone bay too full" message and I can undock(hey, it could happen!)
Trathen	Posted - 2008.04.26 17:31:00 - [75] Not that I'm old enough to impress anyone, but I've already a dozen abandoned shuttles that I'll never see again.
Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2008.04.26 18:11:00 - [76] Edited by: Danton Marcellus on 26/04/2008 18:11:08 I'm guessing my carrier. It's often bugged so it doesn't see much action. Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As
Kylegar Caldari Dawn of Fire Black-Out	Posted - 2008.04.26 18:28:00 - [77] I actually have a flycatcher that has laste me 6months. I survived countless gatecamps and many 0.0 fights (in a dictor, lawl). It still has its original name, "Monkey Wrench", but it has gone through 6-7 refits since I got it. -- Originally by: CCP Ginger No sex changes.
Mikal Drey Minmatar ORIGIN SYSTEMS Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.26 19:23:00 - [78] Edited by: Mikal Drey on 26/04/2008 19:23:28 hey hey I remember the anticipation about transport ships. I was the corp hauler at the time so when they were released i was destined to buy one. 27m for the skill and 98mil for the ship. It was the first one to hit the Heimatter market :) Still got it today \o/
WC Meysys Gallente	Posted - 2008.04.26 19:48:00 - [79] I still have a punisher in A-1CON from one or two months after I started playing. I don't think I ever even got to assemble that ship before I left the region. other than that the oldest ship is an Arazu that still hasn't seen any combat :/
Ignition The Devil's Mafia Dark Taboo	Posted - 2008.04.26 20:27:00 - [80] oldest is most likely a Caracal still fitted with torps, most likely from late 2003 or early 2004.

Zeba Minmatar Pator Tech School	Posted - 2008.04.26 20:36:00 - [81] Probably the rocket Kessy I have stashed away in Stacmon when I (an older alt) was baiting intys at the MHC-R3 gate waaaaaay back when it was just intys and cruisers with no bubbles camping it. sigh Those were the days. inappropriate signature. ~WeatherMan
Grainsalt Free-Corp Foundation Liberty Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.26 20:47:00 - [82] Edited by: Grainsalt on 26/04/2008 20:48:34 My oldest surviving "PVP" ship is probably Emily, my Chimera @ 2 years old. Other than that everything gets trashed in a month or two. My first battleship that I mined for 2 weeks for 4 years ago got trashed in 2 days (fell asleep). --- http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=554257
Ethaet Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2008.04.26 20:48:00 - [83] I still have my velator in the newb station Apart from that, I have the incursus that was my first proper ship, and the catalyst I got after that. --------------------------------------------------------------- Seriously, we need some kind of separation between the post and signature. [yellow]There you go. Now that wasn't so hard [/yellow
DaReaper Net 7 Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2008.04.26 20:50:00 - [84] my mackinaw is 2 years old. oldish ship is prolly a random fig in a my hanger from 04
Joe Starbreaker Starbreaker Spaceways	Posted - 2008.04.26 20:52:00 - [85] I named my first rookie ship "Starbreaker 1" and still have it somewhere. I considered keeping one corp hangar for a read-only "museum" where we could put things everybody might like to look at, like memorable ships and the corpses of our enemies. Didn't actually do it, though. --- I'm looking for a good 0.0 corp to join.
000Hunter000 Gallente Missiles 'R' Us	Posted - 2008.04.26 21:04:00 - [86] Originally by: Joe Starbreaker I named my first rookie ship "Starbreaker 1" and still have it somewhere. I considered keeping one corp hangar for a read-only "museum" where we could put things everybody might like to look at, like memorable ships and the corpses of our enemies. Didn't actually do it, though. Can't u stick in a station can instead? if u need the hangar that is? :D I actually did upgrade that mega to a navythron, but in my rpg mind, it is basically still the same ship, just with upgrades, every now and then i board her and fly her around a bit, but she will never see active service again, it would be too heartbreaking for me to see her destroyed.
Tashiell Gao Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2008.04.26 21:10:00 - [87] My first ship ever "Tashiell Gao' Ibis" is swiftly destroyed by concords just after few seconds of my creation for my first attempt of suiciding: i stole and fitted another civilian rail from someone's wreck and tried to kill one of my noob-corpmates. The oldest ship up to date is a "bantem"spelling?! (the caldari mining frig) i bought just after the above noob-ship is destroyed, (after the 15 timers ofcause) i used it for looting from a friend's missions without his promission of cause. He shares standing with me, so he couldn't careless.
Stuart Price Caldari Black Water.	Posted - 2008.04.26 22:19:00 - [88] I have a Merlin a friend gave me. We were both pretty new and I lost my first cruiser, which took me ages to save up for back in the old days of '04, trying to save her from being ganked in a belt. I thought I was doing quite well against the three of them :( She got away in her Caracal (her first cruiser) and felt compelled to give me her old Merlin as a thankyou for suiciding my ship. I repaid the favour a year later by diligently mining (the only time I have EVER mined) and guarding mining ops (which was much more fun) designed to replace her first BS loss :p She no longer plays, but the ship remains as a testament to people sticking together and helping each other out when no-one else can or will. One unforseen side effect of this on my journey to the Dark Side was that if I ever come across an opponent who engages me to try and save someone else, no matter how outclassed he is, I am compelled to give him something to recognise his sacrifice (no matter if the original target also died). Be that isk, advice or both.
Bad Harlequin Minmatar Chiroptera Factor	Posted - 2008.04.26 22:54:00 - [89] Originally by: HostageTaker The lag the mines created was more lethal than their actual damage ... btw before the mines it was jet cans every few years someone gives me an excuse to inflict laggerwocky on everyone. thanks!
Bosie Veto Corp	Posted - 2008.04.26 23:32:00 - [90] My oldest would be my Manticore that I bought when they first came out for around 60 million. Most battles survived would be my Vindicator, had it for a few years with 163 kills in the last year alone.

Sosus Red Caldari Grave Diggers Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.26 23:50:00 - [91] I still have a bestower circa 2003.

Johli Caldari AWE Corporation Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2008.04.27 00:39:00 - [94] Originally by: Bad Harlequin Originally by: Johli ...my Raven, I guess. Bought it in desperation... wait, there's a story here. How does one buy a Raven "in desperation?" Damn, I knew I should have clarified more. Well, we got kicked out of DB1/ZS (ooooold news), I loaded all my modules onto a carrier, and flew my unfitted, insured raven from Omist of Ka-tet's home system. However, I got ganked en route () and with 102 mil in my pocket, went to buy a 100 mil raven from Ka-tet. Well, I guess it wouldn't be out of desperation, more out of necessity. Oh well.
Beretta Widowmaker Amarr	Posted - 2008.04.27 03:05:00 - [95] Well, I'm coming back to the game after a long time off, new account so, my only ship atm is my punisher, "Payback".. it's already survived an attempted gank by an Eos last night..so I'm gonna hold onto it,it's lucky
TypoNinja Caldari Void Angels Black Star Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.27 03:21:00 - [96] Still got the merlin my rookie agent gave me as a reward for completing the tutorial, used to mission run in it, carried me through WC, now I just kinda hang onto it for old times sake.
Athre Minmatar The HIgher Standard	Posted - 2008.04.27 03:55:00 - [97] Originally by: Asestorian I've got a Rupture somewhere still that's a good few years old.
