Any things, other players should try as well?

If my pilot is certain to face death... I want full ramming speed towards the enemy ship...

Ridiculously overtanking a cheap ship (like a mauler), and bating people into attacking me on a gate, then tackling them within range of the gate gun and just outlasting their buffer.

Sadly with all the recent buffs to active tanking, nerfs to passive tanking, and excessive use of neuts we've seen lately, this has become less practical.

Not a forum alt.

Pod races through Sov held Nullsec whilst very drunk comes to mind. :)

Trying to kill people 1 on 1 with a blaster probe springs to mind >_> its an exploration fit, honest.

Trying to kill people 1 on 1 with an autocannon wreathe is also up there <_< although that one has yet to see much success.

Get a bunch of friends... put them all in cheapo, borderline **** fit destroyers... take them out to null sec and engage everything until you all die.

Or...

Get a bunch of friends... put them in gank fit destroyers... start suicide ganking any mining barge that isn't a Procurer in high sec. Linger in local and talk smack.

Or...

Blow up someone in your alliance... preferably someone you dislike. Be unrepentant of your actions and demand that YOU be reimbursed for the ammo you wasted on the kill. Weeks of drama will ensue (note: make sure your corp has your back and is in a position of power in the alliance before you do this).

Or...

Bait in low-sec with PvP Procurers.

Or...

Try to kill someone with a rookie ship (or lots of rookie ships).

How did you Veterans start?

Creating trial accounts to **** around, joining familiar channels and jumping into conversations to totally screw with people.

Wow.. I've done all of this except the lowsec Procurer bait (note: the Procurer loss in Basgerin on my kb wasn't because I was baiting, it was because I'm bad at Eve). I did #3 by awoxing instead. Shot corpmates until they finally kicked me. Remembered the saying, "If its nice, do it twice," so I joined another corp and did it again.

I can confirm that all of them were and still are great fun!

Drone fishing.

Get a frigate or destroyer and put an afterburner on it (nothing else). Go to high-sec mining belts, target a mining barge with drones out and charge at him. Usually they bail and leave the drones.

Recent game changes might not make this viable anymore, but when I was doing it a couple years ago I made about 10 million isk on forgotten drones one weekend.

I think somebody tried that on me just yesterday. It didn't work.

Hello,

The dumbest and funniest thing I did so far...

For one I just came back after not liking the game too much as a total noob....

Now the reverse is true I actually am having to learn the game a little more and in doing so; well, I like it now cause I am paying a SUB for it and I aint gonna stress out when I die as long as I know I can replace stuff...

Oh and ya, Live Streaming on my Twitch site not knowing I was streaming LOL and saying things I shouldnt have been saying !!!

Sorry I deleted the blooper but I watched before I deleted it and it was hilarious!

Ya see one can have a laff or 2 in this game !

Just about +1 everyone on this thread because i have done it and it was fun or I plan to do it.

Also this game is unusual because i think some people forget its a game and is suppose to be FUN!

Ok not really. Some ppl take WoW seriously. Now they need help.

Funniest thing i have done. Well look at what i have in my cargo hold for one thing on my death mails. There are awesome items on the market. Love having at least one tourist that dies when i die!

Forgetting i was in lowsec, and went afk for a bio and lost a cain? And panicked when the alarms went off. Just try to play eve with ...... things hanging out.

Trying to bump a BS in my "combat" pod? Did not end well

Or just this weekend. Burning away from a gate camp (lots of bubbles, lots of hostiles), miss click warp and warp to a moon with a pos.........

I laugh a lot playing eve.

AKA the scientist.

Death and Glory!

Well fun is also good.

Currently, RvB's 100,000 frigates free for all. Here's what it looks like after the Orca dumps out a new pile of the free frigs. It's better ingame with the animation-- they're squirming around like some kind of nasty organic things.

Jump into Rancer via the back way (which is safe 99% of the time, it's the two high-low gates that get camped not the low-low one).

Warp to a random celestial, light a cynosural field, and start typing the lyrics to "Call Me Maybe" in local.

I always keep a poor of combat fit rookie frigs in the hangar. You'd be surprised how many people just ignore you the realize all too late that you're the one holding tackle.

I've no idea what system you are thinking about, but Rancer it ain't.
Rancer has only two gates, not three and both are low-low gates.

Other than that, it sounds like fun.

I know a guy who flags himself suspect then sits in belts with a pvp Procurer in highsec. He dies a lot but he often gets some hilarious kills on people who are not prepared.

I once podded myself by blowing a huge fart.
