EVE General Discussion

I have also started cleaning house after only 5 years.. hoarder delux, and I have uncovered my condor from my first week of eve.. it has been safely stowed away for eternity :)
Sad part is the 100ish nano ribbons I kept which used to sell for 6,6mil each which now sell for 2,5 mil and a pithum A medium sb which costs 1bil and is now worth 300 mil

I think I've got a salvage thrasher from 2009 or so. Then again, you never actually know how old a ship you buy is.

A Friend Ship with a Capsuleer named Carmen.

still got tons of smaller ships with lrg rigs fitted

I have a Raven that I built in nullsec about 2 months after I started playing (2013). I used this for anom ratting, then brought it to highsec via wormholes and used it for lvl4 missions.

Just recently I've been using it in wormholes as bait and it's still intact.

First and only ship I've ever built and flew regularly.

I have a Machariel that is the 4th Mach I ever bought. I bought it for incursion running, got tired of that, used for for mission running, later I took it out to null sec to rat with, then re-rigged it for PVP (used it in alliance fleets instead of a Tempest Fleet Issue), eventually brought it back to empire to run missions with, and now I use it on an alt for Incursion Running.

In one fight in null I got down to half hull before I caught reps, and while doing an anomaly in null I got caught by a ceptor because I was stuck on a rock, and his buddies came in and got me down to 5% structure before my buddy in a remote rep Dominix and me were able to chase them off. I've decided not to press my luck further and keep it in high sec.

If you ever find yourself in an Incursion fleet next to beat up looking Machariel named "The Survivor", that'll be me

As I skill into better ships, I buy newer ships and sell the old ones. I try to only have a couple of ships per jump clone.

This is a true Eve online pvper!!!

A horror fit Tristan (only 2011 or so) that was quickly abandoned for T1 module cruisers and battlecruisers.
I pulled up short of going full derp newbie and only got a battleship later when I wanted one to close worm hole exits.

My oldest ship is my Dramiel. I got it on the 2nd week playing, a day after I found another one that I gave away.

Whole story about it:
Here I am, trying out scanning for the first time, use a probe, scan down stuff, get my rifter, kill stuff, collect loot.
I feel pretty good doing this, then suddenly, while doing a dedplex with my rifter, I get my first escalation. I had no idea what
they were back then, but hey, it sounded nice, more people to kill for lewts!
so i run the escalation site, then continue to the next, the final site was in low sec however, and I had a feeling it was also above what my rifter could handle, so I ask a friend of mine who I asked to join me in Eve to come along. A few days before
this friend who likes to look at all kinds of stuff, had shown me the dramiel frigate and said WE NEED TO GET SOME OF THESE THEY ARE AWESOME!
And I had looked at the price and told her, it was going to take months to ever afford that.

We enter low sec, and run the final site, and the boss drops.. a dramiel BPC.
So my math went as follows: I could sell it and we'd both be 30M richer, which at the time was a LOT of money for me.
OR, we could build it and fly it, which was probably going to be a hell lot of fun. The last seemed like a much better option, so I build it and give it to her, making her very happy.

The day after that, I finally had learned how to fly a cruiser, so I equipped my mining cruiser, feeling very happy with it, as now I had missile launchers to shoot rats with during level 2 mining missions, and I no longer would have to dock up my burst ( back then a mining frig ), grab my thrasher or rifter and shoot the rats, before going back to mining.

I go into my first mining site, and after a little while, the rats appear. However, they weren't the regular rats, it was a dominion and 4 of his guardian buddies. one 'epic' battle later, with me being halfway in hull at the end, they are all dead, and I fly over to the dominion fully expecting just some ammo.

To my surprise, he was carrying a Dramiel BPC.
Obviously my good karma reward for making my friend very happy by building and giving her that other one, I built it, and I still have that dramiel today.

It's also fitted with my first bit of dedspace loot I ever found in a static plex, a 1MN B-type Gistii AB. I've upgraded the guns to tech 2, and upgraded the drones, but otherwise, it's all still got the same fittings as it got when I put it together.
I still take it out sometimes for a little spin. I used to use it to run a 1/10 plex that was in the area I now live in.
( and got myself a daredevil BPC that I still haven't built yet )
