While in transit (only 13 more jumps to go!!!) I got thinking of a few ways to die in EVE that are very.. unconvential. Both of them are similar, due to 'computer malfunctions' you either crash into a star, or another ship and blow up. So, let's have a little fun. What way (outside of current methods) to die would make you just stare at your screen in disbelief the first time it happened to you?

Amarr ships could have on-board slave revolts, cutting off connections to your pod.

The Witchspace scenario would be creepy. You're jumping thru a gate, and it quite doesn't end like you'd expected. Instead you end up materializing through a wrong gate with disastrous results.
The extreme version of this would be not materializing at all, but it's kind of hard to Prime Fiction spin how the mind transfer would happen, then - though getting randomly permakilled would certainly get a OMGWTFBBQSAUCE reflex working.

Probably a cloning accident. Your pod thinks it was destroyed, but it wasn't, so mid battle you sent across the galaxy to your new clone.
I'd be like 
Then I'd try to figure out how it happened and repeat it on everybody I could  __________________________________________________

Well, if you mean die as in losing your ship... I heard once that you could eject from your inty while it was hauling ass and it would sail off into the distance and never be seen again. Never saw it myself, and this was back in 2006 so maybe it some RMR bug... Who knows.
Another variation of that (and this one is surely an urban myth) was getting your covops cruising along, cloak, then eject. Gooooooooone Foreeeeeeever.
Campfire stories. "There I was, mining solo, the only one in the system. When out of nowhere comes this pilotless crow, buzzes me and just keeps going. They say the Carry Molest is still zooming along to this day. Maybe in a few years it will pop up in the next system over".

If it were true it'd probably have to be pre-RMR since the game never behaved that way since I joined not long after the patch.
Another story from before my time harkens back to the days when torps had splash damage. A pilot ejected his ship to board another ship he had been firing upon but his torpedo boat didn't stop firing and he podded himself with his own torp splash damage.  __________

It is true enough. I just can not remember how far back we have to go.
I can also remember a time when you could eject after you had initiated warp and the ship would still enter warp by it self. I used that once to have a fleet of ghost rookie ships move around the system.
An odd kill would be the m0o member who killed him self. Another old story from the time when torpedoes would travel very slowly. After having launched a large barrage against the victim, the victim ejects ship and our hero boards it only to have it seconds later blow up to his own torpedoes. ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute

Suddenly, asteroids from all sides begin closing in.
You try to shoot them, but each shot only breaks the asteroid into two smaller fragments.
Though you fight bravely, one finally reaches you. Your ship flashes a few times, beeps, and then disappears with a little pop.

I've heard there are some mission roids that actually blow up when you mine them. Probably a little less dramatic but still good for a wtf? moment.

Oh yes... just imagine coming up to, say, the Rens gate, jumping, and ending up in an area of space not even within a hundred lightyears of any star! There would be no background nebula, only distant pin*****s of light... spooky. And if you opened your map, the "you are here" dot would show up, but not the EVE Cluster. 
Thatwould be a horrible way to go... |

Overheating an armour repairer, while carrying a full cargohold, with at least 1 EC fitted, and burning it out. I've never heard of anyone actually doing this, but it would probably be amusing... Zzz research towers Direrie NEW: Liekuri

I joined post-RMR and I used to be able to do this in haulers and such.

I saw this happen,
Sutty, me (in tempest) and Flatliner (in raven) were up north killing an apoc.
Sutty was in a raven and real close, the apoc pilot ejected and warped off when he was way into stucture (he ejected get to -ve structure so we couldnt destroy his ship, it was a bug at the time).
Sutty gets all excited, "ooo free apoc"
We were all still shooting the unkillable apoc.
Sutty ejects next to the apoc in the hope of boarding it.
The torps sutty already launched did thier slow turn and hit the apoc... sutties pop goes boom.
I have never laughed so much in my life.
Also - the eject from a moving ship used to happen.
I think it was Frst who did that with one of the first scorps way back when. He ejected so someone else could try it out, but the ship was moving at about 100 m/s.
There then follows a benny hill chase of pods and cruisers to catch up with the scorp...
Insert cAKe here!!!

The ironic twist to this scenario being that people could still dock. Eventually the entire population of EVE would find themselves trapped inside Jita 4-4 and the EVE servers would self-combust forming a new star.
