EVE General Discussion

Had a few afk losses, like go afk while shooting the mission trigger, go afk in a belt in a cap stable setup with the rep off, or go afk while in a fleet and get fleet warped into the enemy which was one of my first pvp losses.


heh had a drake warp right on top of me, popped it before it could get the cyno off, obvious bait but I wanted to shoot something, luckily that one went in my favor.

Oh i forgot about omars don quixte moment,

He still gets slagged about it years later

Nvm

Was transporting quite a lot of ISK in an industrial. I had to go through a lowsec system before making it to the highsec beyond that.
I had multispectrum jammers in all my mids, thinking if anyone jumped me at a gate there's no way I'm gonna tank anything in perpetuity, but maybe I could jam and get away.

Jumped into the lowsec system, and see a camper sitting off the gate. Thought "Crap! Okay, try to MWD-align, then hit him with all your jammers, and keep fingers crossed." Aligned, hit him with jammers, then got some message about being an enemy, gate guns attacked me, and I exploded.

Apparently, I had accidentally put burst jammers in my mids, and I aggressed the gate and the gate guns.

Also, I once had pretty much the exact situation as above, except my error there was that I had not actually jumped into lowsec like I thought I did (if you aren't careful, being one jump away from lowsec looks like you are already in lowsec in the waypoints). So I hit some poor guy with jammers in highsec, and CONCORD came to the rescue.

Yeah but balls.

Oh definitly

Fresh story from right now:

Not a death, but someone apparently MJDFG me off my Augmented Drones while I was lazily afking on a Refuge.

He then flew back and picked up my disconnected drones while I was busy shiptoasting elsewhere.

Alteast I think that is what happened.
Drones are gone and I'm 100km away :D
Ingenius o7

Hmm, now I look closer I see it may have been another player. Or is that an NPC? Having 4000 kills and 10 deaths seems a little suspicious...

My first death was clearly the most clueless. I had just started and really had no idea how the game worked. I am still not sure I can claim I do!

So I'm looking at the old map where you could easily see things worth going to see. i did not understand system security or non consensual PvP in Eve. Late one night I decided I want to see that original gate. Put my ship on auto pilot then fell asleep. Woke up a few hours later in a pod in some random low sec system. It took me a while to figure out that was not a good idea!

Not long later I thought I'd go mine some in low sec. Learned about being warp scrammed and just how quickly a poorly fitted frigate popped.

Last stupid way I got killed was autopilotting 276 jumps in my pod while I fixed dinner. Some CODE person took offense with that. OH well, I needed to redo all my implants anyways!

ways to die

I had bought them less than 30 mins earlier after finally training Minnie Mediums to IV, and at 10mil over Jita prices a piece..

Whoever it was has inspired me to get a command destroyer myself to see what kind of mischief I can come up with the MJDFG :D

Maybe jumping missioners/miners off their sites? Especially clustered mining operations on ice fields in LS.
Perhaps so they lose contact with their mining drones and with enough time to rush back with MWD to pick them up or grab them with an alt.

The 160s cooldown should be short enough to chain jump slow ships.
Seems you maintain locks on targets through the jump, so perhaps can point them as well to prevent them warping out.

Dunno if MJDFG also jumps drones within 6km.
