I keep jumping into highsec in t2 cruisers on a regular basis. More often than not, they don't survive it.
Don't drink and fly.

Point of advice to the "Jumpt into high-seckz" crowd:
Wait 15 seconds. (delag) Warp to planet x @ 100 (x = any planet) Warp back to gate Jump back to low-sec.
I've pulled this off with a Battleship being -10 in amarr faction high-sec (I'm in minnie militia) Reason this works is that circa empyrean age, high-sec criminal police rats were replaced with new high-sec faction police rats - meaning they were changed with FW. They were watered down only slighltly, BS police still do it all; neut/scram/lockdown, but frigate rats don't scramble, just web, meaning HAC or BS you'll be insta-warped to whatever you warp to.
If you jump into highsec with a GCC, you're still screwed :D

I can finnaly fly that manticore, so i get it all set up and fly all over gettin stuff for it.
Jump into TAMA from nourv, see a ship 87KM off the gate, a war target! Might as well try to fling some cruise missles at it. Before i could even lock target my manticore pops without ever gettin a single navy pair of dice missle into the air.
zealots sure can fire far, and the manticore sure does seem to pop fast :)

Edited by: Khandara Seraphim on 16/09/2008 04:42:57 I've lost plenty of ships in various stupid ways, but one of my dumbest moments actually involves me surviving.
I finished up ratting in 0.0 and warped my apoc to what I thought was our pos. I was in a rush so I left as soon as the ship entered warp (didn't want to bump off any asteroids) and didn't come back for at least 6 hours or so.
I came back to find my ship SITTING ON A 0.0 STARGATE with no tank running or anything. Several of my Alliance mates commented that they were trying to figure out what I was doing on the gate for so long.
To this day I still don't understand how I made it. A single rat spawn, let alone a roaming neutral or red player, would have easily killed me.

Lost 2 Eagles because I forgot to dock with global, lost an eagle + a crystal set because I went AFK on a gate while talking on MSN, lost a polygistii crow to a goonswarm (D:) cyclone because i got sleepy. Lost 24 battleships, period. Lost a crystal set while flying a raptor, then lost the +4 set with 5% hardwirings the next day doing the same thing.
THEN I lost 5 interceptors to gateguns.
What's up, I lose ships.

When dabbling in Factional Warfare, the last ship I lost... I decided to see if Faction Navies can penetrate a cloak. I duly jumped into Caldari high sec and found out they could.
For some reason I did it in a rigged t2 fitted cov ops full of probes.
Perhaps more embarrasing, agressing a neutral that had been tailing our blob at a gate and watching the fleet jump out to engage the Caldari blob. ****ed that I was missing the fight, I warp back and jump through... the sentries hurt but I warped to the friendly fleet to await the carnage.
Being flashy red, some of the ****s in the blob decide to engage me, so I thought "frack you" and jumped straight through... into Caldari high sec again.
I lost my +4's there too. Removed. Please keep your EVE signature related to your EVE persona and not that of a real life politician. Navigator |

Lost a navy Megathron to my own stupidity. Running Lvl 4 with a couple of corp mates, we enter final BS filled room and are joined by a ninja salvager in a frig. Attempt to pop the thieving ******* but he warps out. Send one corp mate to get salvager, the other shoots off to get scrammers fitted for next ninja. Left tanking whole room, finish of scramming rats and ready to warp out to sit out aggression countdown, notice ninja has returned in command ship. All happened too quick for buddy to jump through the gates to get back to assist. My ( expensive ) bad.

Managed to lose my first pilgrim before I even got to battle test it 
My sec is low enough that I was buying mods in low sec for a while. Docked up a few jumps from home in a .3, picked up a couple eanm II's and proceeded to undock into about a 10 man Invicta gang (station was clear when I docked), bumping ensued, couldn't warp, couldn't dock, went down fast in what looked like a fail fit pilgrim 
All I could do was laugh and shake my head. Had a god laugh with the killers in local as well.

I lost my first Falcon.
Were in a war, I warped to a spot 200k of our home station, cloaked ( i thought ) I Went to windows to put some music on. My m8 tells me on vent, " Zealot just warped to station, He seems nanoed ". I responded, " Iam Cloaked, so dont worry " my m8 docked and i keept on looking on youtube. Suddenly i hear a " pew pew pwe pew pew pew " sound. I enter game to see what the fuzz is about. My falcon is in hull..

I managed to lose a rigged (1 Poly, 1 Egress Port), T2 fitted Curse to a few wartargets (Crow, Vexor, Rapier and an interceptor which I can't remember) because I was stupid. I had jumped through a gate, saw the WT Crow, said a few prayers and started to align out for warp.
The Crow obviously scrambled me, but instead of turning around and just jumping back, I agressed the Crow-_-, the Crow and his buddies killed my ship and my pod before I got rid of the aggro timer.
In the past I managed to lose a Thorax to a Merlin ore thief in hi-sec, my fitting was crap (4 med rails (but 2 different types) and a blaster)), he nossed me to death, since I wasn't hitting him and my drones died. My corp-mates were sitting there unable to do anything, one of them went to get a blackbird, but when he arrived back on the belt I just exploded. He agressed the Merlin but couldn't damage him, he almost lost his Blackbird as well there.
I also managed to warp to a POS in low-sec several times in an Arbitrator, those guns hurt (but every time I managed to warp away somehow ).
In one of my more brighter moments in low-sec roaming, I decided to engage a flashy Drake in my Harbinger, with me being fit for more gank then tank, he was completely kicking my @ss. I managed to get a jam in with my ECM drones and warped away, at the same moment a corpmate warped in, as did another Drake and an Onyx. Corpmate lost his Myrmidon.
In yet another low-sec roam, my corp-mate (same as in the previous thingy) and me engaged a Phobos in a belt, but we weren't exactly breaking his tank. We warped away (with me losing a set of small ECM drones) when 2 friends of the Phobos (Rupture and Vagabond) warped in. We chatted a bit on TS and decided to just give them a fight. We killed the Rupture in record time, but the Vaga and Phobos were dealing too much damage. Corp-mate lost (another) Myrmidon (just before losing connection) and my Drake also went pop about 10 minutes later^-^, took them a very long time. The Rupture pilot also died to sentry guns in a newbie-ship a few minutes after we popped him, noticed the KM a few days later

This is not the tale about a stupid loss, but about a stupid non-kill. The person responsible shall remain nameless.
After hours of mostly mindless gank-and-being-ganked in T1 cruisers in Amamake, one of my 3 gangmates began breathing kinda weird on Vent. After he got back to normal, he yelled something slightly resembling the words "SCYTHE FLEET ISSUE IN MISSION! GIEF WARP-IN!". I consulted my schizophrenic alter ego in his Buzzard to gief. It took effin ages to probe the Scythe, but after what felt like 10 hours in a mini black hole, I finally got a hit on the target. The noobness will be strong in this encounter, and the first noteworthy thing is that nobody remembered to refit an Afterburner, we just went all-in, and actually were rewarded with a Rupture pilot sitting in the first room that was promptly dispatched off. Now one might think that the target would hear the word from his mate in the Rupture to gtfo, but as we proceeded to go through the 4 other rooms of Angel Extravaganza lvl3, the target never left shortrange scan. When we finally entered the final room, we saw the target 150km off the warp-in. Surely, that will have been it, goodbye target.
Seconds later, the target was still there, sitting still, and we "burned" towards him without a working propulsion mod. He was fighting some rats, and the final named rat that he had to kill to complete the mission was around 100km off of us as well as him. Then he started moving; at 1.5km/s. Damn, we're never going to catch him in our slowass cruisers, even if we would've had Afterburners fitted. A plan came to my mind: Let's burn towards the final rat while he is fighting the other ones 100+km off, and let him come to us! Brilliant idea, I noted to my alter ego who had the idea, let's do this! Instead of burning 100km to the target at a speed that felt like dual-webbed, I now burned towards the rat, which came closer and closer. To add insult to this already pretty fail injury, 2 Veto pilgrims decloaked and promptly dispatched of my poor poor Rupture. The Pilgrims warped out after they killed me, so the target was free game again. I didn't want that Rupture anyway, since it didn't have an Afterburner, unlike my Stabber + hangar I had sitting around in system. So I dock, refit and get back to the last room. When I dropped out of warp, my first thought was "Damn, I'm lagging, the target is now a whooping 650km off! Must be a display bug!"
He really WAS 650km off and still burning away from us and the last rat, which was pretty much at zero at the warp-in now. Good, at least he won't be able to complete the mission. He probably thought the same, as he turned around and burned towards the rat now! A gangmate had changed to his Taranis with an Afterburner, and we were slowly closing the gap. 500km. 450km. 400km. Etc. During that time, a non-Afterburner fitted gangmate reported on Vent that he is engaged by the final rat and his armorbuffertank is slowly failing him. Lulz ensued, and the command to warp out if needed was given, since he wouldn't be able to reach the target in time anyway at 200m/s. We happily burned on, 150km, 100km.
Overview change! Not the pilgrims again please! Looking at the overview twice, thrice, maybe even a gazillion times, I just couldn't believe what happened: the gangmate killed the rat! "IM SORRY, I JUST WANTED TO PUT IT INTO STRUCTURE!". Hilarity ensued as the target warped off and completed the mission.
Lesson learned: Never fly in gangs. c/d?

Last week. Nothing expensive, but annoying. Here's a timeline:
* Got stuck in Jita, petitioned to get unstuck * Got moved. Set destination Rens and started moving there. * Got to Criliere towards Rancer -"oh damn I still have 0.0 settings on autopilot." * -"Ok, who cares, I'm just in a shuttle, I usually get away." * Warp to Rancer gate. * -BOOM- Smartbombing BS pops me and pod.
The most annoying thing is that I waited 30 minutes being stuck in Jita, only to try to go to another hub and getting destroyed on the way.

80% of my losses are due to being afk/not watching monitor, aside from those... Lost a sleipnir a while back to a carebear alliance trying to move in to our little part of npc 0.0. Jumped into their gang and then burned back to the gate and sat there just holding aggro so our gang could get to the gate and jump through and own them. I thought I hit the orbit (@ 500) then I scrolled out to get some screen shots of how many ships my sleipnir was tanking, they had alot of theoretical DPS shooting at me, several BS, but as a whole they lacked sp in combat skills so it really wasn't much dps at all. As my gang was jumping in and I was about to jump out, they bumped me way off the gate and got me webbed. Our gang completely owned them as I thought but turns out I never hit the orbit button :/
I've lost a hurricane and a claymore from hitting "warp to dock" and then getting up from the computer, but i got those losses reimbursed. Without fail, every time I accidently hit warp to dock instead of warp to 0 I'll land on station just as something is about to warp off, get a lock and start to put a point on them and then lose lock as DOCKING appears on screen. warp to dock only works for me when I don't want to actually dock, it never works when I need it to.

Ha, so here it goes. When i was a nub on my other char who was not by any means BS ready. I was joining a 0.0 corp and was very excited to make the move. Well, while waiting in the low sec that they inhabited and flying around in my poorly fitted raven I decided to check the belts in hopes of my first real pvp kill. To my surprise a hurricane already had me in their teeth. So i nervously wait contemplating whether i should warp or engage. He made the decision for me, so the fight engages and i die a very horrible death to a BC. So I suck up my pride and ask how he killed me in a BC (remember im still a nub who doesnt understand ships) and the only reply i get is "hurricane powa!!" But the day doesnt end there. I continue to dock up and re-fit my raven. I undock a while later and see a cyno field go up. And still being the same nub as before i decide to warp there and check out whats goin on. I am instantly warp scrammed and engaged and really confused as to what the hell was goin on. There was a lone guy there, so I started to beg for forgiveness for interrupting them. And plead and plead to just let me go. He continues to tell me there is nothing he could do for me and that i shouldnt be a curious nub, i should stick to what i kno. lol.. well after i die I proceed to look at the km. Come to find out, i was warp scrammed and killed by a pos. But to make matters worse, I was killed by the same corp who I was waiting to join. What a day. So with my app in, i was killed by them. lol... never again..

Lonbg time ago our corporation and alliance wardecced the NC (before it was the done thing to do) and I found a lone megathron on a station (think Jita). Iw as in a v low dps tanking vulture and he was in a 0 tank sniper mega, so after a good 20 minutes he popped (with the help of a tri tackler) I see a hauler going for his wreck and lock it as a warning (guns flashing)

Missioning in .4 with a t2 fitted domi, I was watching my scanner and local and noticed a few characters pop in. Watching scanner I saw an Ishtar, raven, and a Deimos which was the first red flag. Then a cov ops frig aptly named the "Probe master" popped up on the scanner. I decided it was time to head back to high sec. Waited a half hour or so, figuring they might just go after another missioner or leave. I decided to go back in with a shuttle to check it out, but I did't have one and non in my system either. So I went back in in my domi. Saw an Ishtar sitting at my accel gate and knew it was over. :) I learned a valuable lesson that day, one I won't forget.

Edited by: Pure Manergy on 18/09/2008 07:10:07 So, this has two parts. I'm doing my thang, mission running. Whateves. I jump into a very dangerous 0.4 system called something like Egelened, directly abutting a high sec system. No problem there, warp to my mission. I'm on the last room when two Myrms warp it and I get invited to a channel. Ransomers. Great. Hell, no. I won't pay. Blah blah blah. Domi blows up. T2 fitting and rigged. I get away in my pod.
So I head back to my station in high sec. Buy a new Domi and refit it. This time I decide to fit a smartbomb to take care of pesky little frigates. I'm like, "I've never seen a smartbomb. I want to see what it's like." So I warp to a planet, to be safe from hurting something. I check my overview and look around my ship. Ok, nothing around. Lets check this out! Kaboooom. Sweeeet! Wait... "You hit (some sort of rookie ship) for blah blah blah damage." Huh? What? CONCORD ****! So here I am, sitting in my pod with a blob of CONCORD sitting in front of me. I look around again and see an abandoned rookie ship. Check out my overview. WTF???? I didn't see that before!!
Lesson: Don't shoot off a smarbomb randomly.
Another one was me in my Myrm. Same .4 system. Drake locks me and starts shooting. I turn on the tank and release my drones. I notice I'm winning, but damnit! I don't have a warp scrambler on me! She warps away. I decide this chick needs to be taught a lesson. I refit my ship with a warp scrambler and go ahunting. Sure enough, same gate. I start firing. Immediately she locks me and so do all the gate guns. Hm. Well... I didn't think this through. POP goes my Myrmidon. *shrug* Was still new back than.
