The first time I got podded was in R3-K. My corp and I were off to our faverate NPCing spot down in FSW- and I (as CEO) had jumped first in to R3- in my Scorpian. Which was called 'Blinky Blue Lights'. It was my first BS.
Camping the gate was 'The holy Family'. Outnumbered and not wanting anyone else to lose ships I tried to MWD away.
I almost made it, but died just before I got to warp. Was podded by the Splash Dmg from their torp ravens.
A cpl corp mates jumped in anyway in with Tach fitted, shield tanked megathrons as i remember. How times change :)

Edited by: Lieutenant Isis on 07/07/2008 15:38:49 I was doing lvl 1 missions. I had just bought a fancy new destroyer. My agent sends me to low sec, and I think, "well what the heck, I'm in a destroyer!" So I goes to the gate and there are anchored cans telling me that there are pirates that will kill me on the other side. I think, "I'm in a destroyer, I'll just blow them up." So I run through the gate see them targeting me and I run off to the missions site. After I finished my mission, I head back to the gate and see the pirates there. 15km off and I'm ready to tank them. Then he shoots..."HOLY MOTHER****ER!!" He takes down my shields and armor and leaves me in 20% hull in one salvo. I'm panicking so I just sit there while he takes another shot. I'm in my pod now, still panicking I again just sit there trying to follow the AURA tutorial, but before she can tell me to warp the **** out, I'm in a station. Of course, my ship was not fully insured.

Podded by the mUfFiNs on my original character. Came through a gate into low sec flying a badger, day 2 or 3 of Eve, trying to make money as a courier. Discovered the hard way that was a bad way to make a living as a n00b. Somewhere in Caldari low-sec.

Jumped into the N-RAEL Perma-Gatecamp in a shuttle after 35 jump trip. Got podded and ended up back where I started the trip. I was so depressed that I was back at the beginning of my trip. But I updated my clone, got back in a ship plotted a different route and made it to where I was going. I was so happy.

Running to catch up to an Alliance roaming gang I was late for in 0.0. Was flying in my Celestis through a pipe in Venal and I ran into a 3 man gang (Inty, Recon, HAC) that was running the opposite direction FROM the group i was running to catch up to.
Flew right by them at a gate. ALMOST made it to warp on the other side, but their Inty was on the gate and through before I could hit warp. I panicked and forgot to use my Damps (pre-nerf damps too) and got ganked. My Alliance group was a good 4 jumps away and just couldn't get there in time.
Thankfully I was fully insured and had only a couple cheapie implants in, so no big loss. But it was a good lesson in battle tactics (USE the DAMPS!) and in being on time for fleet ops. Tactical Logistics using the last T1 Frigate hull!

Had played for about a month. Was running livestock in an iteron 2 (3?) between high sec and low sec. Something like 8 jumps each way. Had JUST spent the bulk of my isk on snazzy new implants. Popped into low-sec. Red blinky typhoon nukes me from about 100 with Tachyons.
Man, that ****ed me off. Lost about everything I had.

I asked. I was trying to get back to my home in low-sec Derelik from Gallente space and ran across a gate camp in Egghelende. Since I had an updated clone and no implants, I changed my shuttle's name to POD ME PLEASE and orbited LittleTerror at 1000m. Shuttle death and podding ensued, and I got home quicker. ------------

I saw this topic and realized that I'll soon be 4 years old and have only been podded 3 times.
First time was while doing the Big Naughty: playing Eve at work. Was moving stuff in a hauler while we were at war with MC. My boss had just walked into the room and I hit 'dock'...was before warp to zero. I had to look him in the eye and hold a discussion while my ship slowboated the 15k to the dock point. The MC in system didn't let me get that 15k...

A interdiction sphere gate-camp on the way out of 0.0. I flew out to 0.0 when it was clear and logged off in a safe spot, then when I logged in the next day, I decided I needed something outside of 0.0, so without checking for number of kills in the last hour, I warped to the gate, got dropped out of warp, and lost my stealth bomber and pod within about 10 seconds.

Edited by: Mordican on 07/07/2008 21:53:02 Flying my nice new Exequror going into lowsec for the first time to pick up the Expanded Cargohold II's I had just purchased. I had just undocked from the station and was aligning to warp when I got the unable to warp and an Abaddon that was sitting about 10km away started blinking. 2 Savlo's of Mega Pulses and I was dead.
During this time the Abaddon moved within Smartbomb range. I was rather stunned so I didn't react fast enough and he popped my pod.
About 2 minutes later I was jetting along in my rookie ship when the guy convo'd me. He basically told me all the things I had done wrong, sent me 1Mil ISK and I was able to make my way to where the wreck was and recover the stuff that hadn't been destroyed.
The second time I got podded was stupidity on my part. I was doing a storyline mission that was transport through lowsec. I bought an Itty 1 to do the move since I figured the chances of dying were 50/50. I jumped in and sure enough there was a Crow sitting at the gate and several wrecks around me.
There was a Drake sitting about 30km off the gate, well within range. As soon as I uncloaked the Crow tackled me and the Drake blasted me. I warped away to a station, convo'd the guy in the Corw, and asked him if he would let me get the mission loot and what not. I paid him some Isk to let me loot the wreck and not shoot me.
I warped back in my pod to check the wreck to make sure it still had the stuff. The Drake was moving in at this point. When I got to the wreck he popped off a smartbomb on me. Their reasoning was only the guy in the Crow wouldn't shoot me since I didn't pay the other guy as well.
I did get some revenge on the guy in the Drake about a week later. I was jetting along in my Vexor and saw him sitting AFK in a Merlin at a gate in Highsec. He was flashing red so I figured what the hell. I docked, fitted a scram and a web, then went back to the gate and a got a little revenge. He was about half dead before he started moving. Netted me some nice T2 loot, faction ammo, etc...

This char is still in his "original body" IIRC. Might have used "self-podding for travel speed" though, not 100% sure. Old trial ? Keta Min in some 0.3 system while I was manually flying my afterburning Executioner the 15km towards a gate - sniped from almost 200 km, ship then pod. The active "PvP" alt ? A nasty 40+ people [INFOD] gatecamp in Maila (or maybe Akora?) almost a year ago. Plus my "see the world, place offices" no-training diplomatic alt, repeatedly killed and podded by both BOB and Goon forces while I was watching them duke it out in some system 3j away from a NPC station.

I'm a week old in-game and I'm getting my butt handed to me in a level one mission. I'd lost two ships and was asking for advice in the noob channels. A guy helps and convinces me to join his corp (he's the CEO).
Turns out there's only 4 people in the corp, and two of them are leaving to focus on Star Wars Galaxies. My CEO and I focus on mining. <shudder>
One day he declares we need to unanchor some GSC's which were left by the corp in lowsec long ago. He'll be flying his Iteron 5, and needs some protection. I'm flying my patented 'three-week in the game, shield-boosted and armor-repping' Tristan .
Unanchoring cans. I'm getting knocked about by frigate rats. Surprised when the Pirates warp in all flashy (neither of us were watching local). We manage to run to a safe-spot. Sit there. Then my CEO tells me that it's safe to warp back because he's convoed the -10 pirate and was told "We're just ratting to get our sec status up." I don't believe that for an instant, but am overruled by my CEO.
We return to the belt.
Long story short... CEO's is popped and podded in short order. I'm too noob to run, and unleash the fury of my poorly-fit T1 frigate upon the pirate leader Cal Sinai. I'm of course popped and podded about 45 seconds later.
I realize that getting obliterated is a lot more fun than mining, and, fingers shaking with adrenalin, send a "Thanks... that was ****ing cool!" evemail to the Pirate. He replies with some good combat advice. Friendly chap.
My CEO's been silent on TS for 20 minutes. I ask him what's up. He explodes into a screaming, lunatic rant for over 30 minutes on how these 'griefers' exist only to destroy other's work and he lost his implants worth 500 million and he's going to petition it and he sent a scathing hate mail at those bastards... and so on and so on. You've heard all this sort of stuff before.
I never said 'I told you so'. I let him vent. When he winds down I quietly suggest perhaps we didn't have the people necessary to handle the operation. {CLICK!} He drops off of TS and rage quits the game. After a week or so I move on to other things.
To the pirate Cal Sinai: How can I ever thank you for getting me out of that nightmare corp? My first podding was the best thing that could have happened to me.

I was flying around low sec with a small fleet of friends, all of us rather inexperienced in this kind of thing. We didn't think to use a scout. Jumped through a gate, saw about 80 Russians camping... or was it the other way around?
"In Soviet Russia, the gate camps YOU!"
Ah, yes, of course. Well, in any case, lesson learned. (o: I was surprised that I lasted as long as I did - a whole ten seconds!

noob in bantam + autopilot to pickup shiney new merlin + path through Tama (0.3) + alt-tab while i wait to go about 9 jumps (this was before WTZ btw)
then about half way while approaching one of the gates, i hear combat noises and discover that i am being attacked by a -9 blinky red player in an armageddon... and my ship is toast in only a few hits, then my pod not long after...
at the time (was still on my 14 day trial i think) it had not occurred to me why any player would pop my lil ol' bantam, let alone my pod... i was shocked and horrified. but at least i had that merlin waiting for me to go get it, but i had to take a really long route to go around the lowsec.
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ Take away the risk and it would make flying around in space utterly pointless.
Take away the flying around part and you make EVE into a space themed spreadsheet application. |

Edited by: Sergeant Spot on 08/07/2008 17:19:14 My first ship lost....
I was flying my brand new Blackbird out to XZH, NORAD's main 0.0 system, in my first trip into 0.0.
I'd gotten into BNC because I knew Blicklight from a previous game.
I'd heard of Bookmarks, and had been promised a set to get me there, but the person who was to give them to me could not make it, so I figured "I'll give it a try..."
About 5 jumps in, I see another blackbird. My thought was, "Ok, same ship I have, I'm probably ok...." and I relaxed, even took my hands off my keyboard.... (Remember, I'm on my FIRST trip into 0.0, as a two week noob)....
Then my ship starting exploding
I still have the guy that did it on my buddy list. Not hunting him or anything, but if we cross paths again, either as allies or enemies, I'm going to ask him if he remembers me.
However, that experience had one very positive result.
I resolved that it WOULD NOT happen again. I made my own damn bookmarks, and found that I was so good at bookmarks, I started making them for corp. I was not the first to bookmark regions, but my Bookmarks were always of the best quality. Some may have matched my quality, but no one, ever, exceeded my quality. (My quality was BETTER than the current warp to zero, as "warp to zero" does not have 100% reliablity of landing you within jump/dock range, everytime, no exceptions.)
Play nice while you butcher each other.

About a month ago. Took a shuttle into 0.0. First gate I go through I'm pounded by a bunch of different ships which I lose, but warped pod to safety. . Soon released the only way back to empire was through the same gate I lost my ship. Tried again but you caught up in one of those warp indictor sphere type things and was podded for, well, fun I guess.

I was lowsec (0.4) ratting for the first time, enjoying all the high bounties...till I got pwned by a Jag that had me locked down. Fortunately, I was not podded, but loosing my first BS was a hard lesson to learn.

2003 or 2004 trying to meet up with the fleet, in my BB, which waited several jumps after A2-V27, unfortunately I didnt understand that the hostile camp was between me and the fleet got podded in 7V-KHW or 0-WT2D

Ive never been poded but I came close once, situation was rather comical actually.
I was maybe a month old and was of the opinion that no one actually lived in low sec as there was plenty of 0.0, so like a fool I went in my catalyst to pick up a skill... on autopilot. At the time I actually thought that was the only way to move around.
Anyway, as im flying, I actually see the wreck of a carrier off the gate im approaching and I think to myself "well, maybe this wasnt such a good idea anyway". I jump threw the gate and notice two ships sitting off the gate. As the auto pilot decloaked and warp began to spool up I noticed they started to lock onto me, but I warped away before they could get a shot off. Naturally, I thought it was an honest mistake and continue on my way.
I pick up my skill, set course back and head my way. I notice the ships were still there, they lock on, and actually begin to fire. I quickly engage my warp drive to the local station. the faster ship locked on either a vamp or warp scrambler, however just as the damage entered my hull I warped away.
At the time I was shooken up that I actually logged off until the next day to make my escape but thinking about it now I cant help but laugh obsurdly at how a destroyer escaped a battleship and tackler. This event was over a year ago. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:
