Stygian Knight	Posted - 2008.07.30 11:37:00 - [1] Yesterday night i had enough. After a 14 days trial and almoust a month of sucessfull missions, i decided that it has to stop. After a big cup of cofee I decided to enter my rifter, completely pimped with PVP t2 equipement. I was very excited, "it's going to happend" i say. With 0.43 faction standing with minmatar i just couldn't wait another 36 missions to join the army and see some real action. My current location is somwhere in Metropolis area, near Heck system, i jumped to Bei system which is in low sec zone. First asteroid field.... damn empty, ok, nevermind, i jump to second... few rats only satisfied my need for blood for about 2 minutes... ok, let's use scanner, how? i never did that. I line up with asteroid field and i press scan... i am starting to press all scan buttons and all ranges to find something, ok, "my scanner is broken" i said (i dont want to admit that i dont know how to do it, hehe) i will jump to stargate... there it is, a gate which will lead me into glory. I lighted my cigar and started to orbit around. Then suddenly some cruiser came in (i think, it was very fast since i was in frenzy). I said "YES", i started to get closer, my afterburner was on fire, i was on fire, i locked him, then i pressed instantly my warp scrambler and webber, some warning screen showed up which i instantly ignored and pressed ok, my AC2 were ready to fire and i pressed the button. I said "YEEEAAA"... In next second i became red, my shield and my armor were completely destroyed, in seconds after while i was still in my "Arrrggg" phase i just exploded... WOW, what and action, i died... my whole action lasted 2 seconds but i was pretty happy... I started a chat with a guy who nailed me down and i said, oh man thanks for a good fight ... he said "you attacked me? i havent even noticed"... so what happend... sentry guns which were near the gate destroyed me instantly when i turned hostile... one big LOL. So that is my first experience, i hope you enjoyed it. Now i am off to buy new ship and start new PVP, next time, far far away from sentry guns :)) cheers

Commander Thrawn the united	Posted - 2008.07.30 11:42:00 - [3] lol b+ for trying hehehe don't go near stations or gates in low sec while you have GCC its all good loosing ships so long as you learn from it. Your good humor about it suggest that you will probably do well

Yup, sentry guns are mean unless your flying something larger than a battlecruiser. also, read up on criminal flag timers, better to learn about its funkiness now then to find yourself in the same situation after undocking. _________________________________________________ Ninja Looter, Ninja Salvager, And High sec suicide Ganker - Making high-sec feel like low-sec, not for ISK, but for LuLz.

DjLowballer Amarr FLASHTROOPER CORP	Posted - 2008.07.30 12:08:00 - [8] This is why I love EvE. It doesnt hold your hand. When you try to do something silly it gives you a nice clear warning. If you choose to ignore and do it anyways, the game says "screw it go all out" and lets you learn the hard way. OP will never make the same mistake again and we got a funny story out of it. If only other MMOs were like this.

Dude you're way off. Must be at least yey high to ride the nightcrew lollercoaster. but generally we recruit players from any age group.

Stygian Knight	Posted - 2008.07.30 17:11:00 - [26] Originally by: 50freefly Bei is hisec, btw. My mistake, i was writing this little story from my work and i still don't know all star system by names. I was in Hagilur which is 0.4 and my position was stargate which leads to Bei. I am glad that this little story amused you, and maybe it will point to some new players what not to do in PvP
Omarvelous Destry's Lounge	Posted - 2008.07.30 17:25:00 - [27] Hey man at least you didn't try to web a friend's hauler at a low sec gate to help it get going faster. Only to remember the friend isn't in your corp...and you're in a Raptor... Take up Grandis' offer on scanning - he learned from a pro. __________________________________________________ Sup brosef!

Jodi Goulsti	Posted - 2008.07.30 18:30:00 - [28] Originally by: Meganight Aww i found it cute, he met his first Sentry guns.. You can't hardly say you'll never meet them by mistake. qft I have scrammed and webbed gates after having forgotten my modules were primed and clicking on the gate to jump (more than once). My most recent sentry gun mishap was when I had a neutral on a gate targeted and was just toying around with him. A war target jumped through and I targeted the wt and activated my modules... only I activated them on the neutral. Somehow managed to get my taranis out with nothing more than a long plume of flames trailing me and pieces of my ship falling off as I warped. ...and I'm sure I'll do something equally stupid again.
Artemis Rose Eleckrostatik	Posted - 2008.07.30 18:35:00 - [29] Ah, I did the same thing eons ago in as newb in a Cormie trying to kill a Bantam on a low sec gate. All ready to go, had all the guns primed and ready for firing as soon as locked. First volley takes the bantam into low armor, a couple of bright lights later, I'm in on my pod __________________________________________________ Currently Playing: Trolls from Outer Space Current Equipment: VISAcard chain mail, +2 Amulet of Epic Whine.

Odre Echee Equestrian Knight Order of Lolicon	Posted - 2008.07.30 18:44:00 - [30] Don't let the 'nub' comments discourage ya. There is a sense of elitism amongst some of more 'experienced' or already-existing PvPers. It pleases me that people are whetting themselves with PvP early (earlier than I did). Carebearing is boring, and people tend to leave after a short time. If it helps though, I also managed to lose a Crow (polycarb'd) after attacking a 'red' target autopilotting... in Empire space... and I (tried to) tackle(d) the guy right before I realized I was in 0.3 and shopping, not 0.0. --------------------- Lag in Motsu or other hubs? Can't bear it and want to change? Remember : YOU are part of the problem! Gave stuff away. Waiting for sub. to run out.
Lubimchik Perkone	Posted - 2008.07.30 18:53:00 - [31] First off, good job.. on the atempt to pvp! My first introductions to gateguns and ignoring the warning message as the adderline hit me was in a battlecruiser... brutix... yeah... so at least you learned early! Learn to use the scanner it can be the most helpfull thing ever! There are tons of tutorials on the forums all about it!

Krasnij Okjabre Caldari The Mutineers	Posted - 2008.07.31 00:17:00 - [33] Like someone else said... Don't let the 'noob' comments get to you. Every day in Eve is a 'schoolday', you learn summin new. Opening up on someone under sentries in a frig is not recommended though... (won't do that again in a hurry, will you!) Least you had a go. Better luck next time. Kras. You'd be amazed how fast a cats lives run out when you have a hammer.

Thieving Monkey	Posted - 2008.07.31 13:21:00 - [39] Originally by: Rhanna Khurin Hehe, your story made me smile from start to finish. Same here =) Well done SK. It's a small loss in the grand scheme of things and you showed true ******* taking a big pvp step at an early age. Don't let anyone discourage you. Feel free to hit me up ingame. Players like you make this game, not know-it-alls without the spine to try fights where the odds are stacked against them. -Monkey

JordanParey Minmatar Suddenly Ninjas	Posted - 2008.07.31 23:25:00 - [46] Reminds me of my first (and last) time trying to PVP: a gate-camp with a Stabber in New Eden region somewhere... It was excellent. With a very underpowered ship and a huge buffer tank(mids and lows filled with armor and shields), I had a 3-man gate camp with a few friends... Lesson learned-Sentry guns seem to fire slow(this gate only had two), and never stop to loot unless you are absolutely sure you can get out of there with it. Lessons in fail are often the best ones for teh lulz. =P Props to OP.
Lavraen Minmatar Repo Industries R.E.P.O.	Posted - 2008.08.01 11:50:00 - [47] I think everyone has a nightmare first action to be honest. I know it sounds sad but the amount of adrenaline pumping through my veins during my first ever pvp, was like lining up for a 100 metres race in college! Hands shaking over the mouse, rubbing sweat off them at every opportunity and hoping the situation didn't change to give my opponent the upperhand. Of course mine ended in total disaster too. Managed to kill someone in a belt and began my victory dance whilst yanking my headset wire out of the socket (we've all done it). Thought about a celebratory beer and decided to dock up to be on the safe side... After I'd realised what I had done and after the longest warp in history (in my mind anyway) the guns annihilated me... Lavraen

Yes it does make me laugh when I think of the amount of nooby frigates I've seen target me in lowsec only to go BANG instantly. Shame they never have loot worth shit.
