EVE General Discussion

Picture this for one second, youre flying around high sec doing missions when you see a T1 hauler with a kill right attached to em, you dont think of the consequences, youre looking to prove to your corp you can pvp, so you accept the killright and open fire, after a long hull tank he goes down, its your first victory after a string of close yet informative losses. while learning alot from defeat you certainly want to put a "W" up in the Kill column so that feels good

A few Hours later you and a friend decide to go roaming low sec, only one way to learn pvp and that is to pvp, so after eluding what was certainly a trap but just the skin of your teeth, you move deeper into low sec, scanning down a kestrel. at this point adrenline takes over, hearing FC commands in teamspeak becomes second nature, you hit gate jump on contact, the kestrel sees you and starts to book it, ah but you have a 20km warp disrupter, what seems like eternity you get the lock and snatch escape from your targets grasp, and 20 seconds later its all over as bits of what used to be a kestrel fly everhwere in space. Not only did you get a "W" but you managed to get 2 victories, a minor escape and one hell of a adrenaline rush in what is known as EVE pvp.

This story isnt fiction, just an hour ago I scored my second kill with the help of a friend in low sec, a day after i hit a month old, I have a victory to hang my hat on, but it came with extensive training, listening to my FC, and mentors who all helped me down the path of PVP, although this is a small short lived victory it couldnt be sweeter, I am glad I got to experience the rush that 4000 people in CFC and TEST got to experience a few days prior to me getting the trial, now it is time to continue honing this art, and i hope that rush never fades.

Don't forget to type "gf" (good fight) in local,always. Congrats!

Good for you, OP. Keep killing things and losing ships, and always keep learning.

..or you use a scout and dont warp to 0 without using it ?

Typing gf in local shows your enemy that you're an honourable pilot. It's just good manners.

Also, this thread lifted up my mood, gj op.

I was totally not expecting this.

Well done!

OP hasn't engaged in PVP yet, ganking is not pvp.
Please get back to us when you find something that shoots back....

Good post, OP. Glad to see someone enjoys the game and doesn't complain through 80 pages of comments how this or that should get nerfed or buffed or whatever.

It was like a fresh breeze to mah privates. Thank you.

Oh the kestrel shot back, it was actually a really good fight, prior to that i had another fight with a frig (cant remember the type other then it was gallente) at an activation gate, he pointed me, i pointed him, opened fire started kiting, he dropped his point on me as I hit structure by accident (i know this becasue we extensively talked after the fight) and i was able to warp away and repair up leading to the kestrel victory :)

Depends. Nothing touches fighting for a reason. Defending a region against odds stacked against you successfully is a lot more satisfying than a 1v2 you win. When your 500 man fleet finds itself facing 700 + a blob of titans, and you get them to retreat, trust me that feeling is a whoooooole lot better.
