My EVE

Hello My EVE! I have a super spectacular story to tell you. It is most certainly the best instance that has ever happened to me in EVE, which may or may not disappoint you!

Once upon a time, around two weeks of time ago, I decided I wasn't playing actively enough to enjoy what a good corporation could offer and I wanted to just have fun adventures in EVE. Specifically! I wanted to find out all the ways people would react to a situation they had never encountered before :3

I decided to fit up my super sneaky Tengu with 3 warp core stabilisers, an Interdiction Nullifier, and a Covert Ops Cloaking Device . Already I bet 38 of you are furious! Some at the destruction of a Tengu with 3 stabilisers and some at the thought of how annoying this ship would be in your peaceful 0.0 home! >:] Well fear not! My adventure was not going to asplode anyone, in fact, it would do the opposite!

After fitting my ship I zoomed off to my first 0.0 home, which was located in the NPC nulsec space. You know the one Im talking about! It has Serpentis rats and lots of hot drops and abandoned POSs all over. From there I wandered around until I ended up in Deklein which I think is where I really wanted to be anyways. This is where I began my sneaky hunt, trying to catch unsuspecting or sleepy GoonSwarm pilots in belts or anomalies or floating too far off station! Eventually I did so c: I caught a nice fun hurricane in a belt, and quickly scrambled his warping engine so that he had to stay and play with me. Of course he opened fire on me, but being in a perfect Tengu it did very little damage.

I didn't shoot missiles at his ship, though, as most Tengus like to do. Instead I opened up with a barrage of light shield transporters onto his ship, while firing my missiles at the rats that were targeting him. I said I was here to assist but for some reason he did not believe me. Eventually (not really far eventually just a few more seconds) his super loyal friends zoomed in and warp disrupted me. The Tengu is the best ship there can be but without the perfect active tank they knew they would surely kill me now. But don't forget! I am an experienced adventurer and quickly warped off, thanks to my triple warp core stabilised Tengu engine, leaving some very confused capsuleers behind.

This was the game I played with them for the next few days, moving from system to system so no one would eventually wise up and decided to fit a triple point frigate to really catch me. This was until I was invited to a system by someone on the forums, the system VFK. ( I was not really invited I was just given a system name and since I was already close I decided to float there) But there I was! The system full of a billion bees. The game I had played with the less populated systems seemed too scary to play here. How could I rep and escape when so many were always everywhere!

I decided I would have to play a new adventure game while I waited for this person to show up in the system he named. I used a blockade runner to move about 40 low priced deadspace mods out to my VFK Tengu. From then on I would drop them one at a time off station, and see how brave the people were for nummy blue prizes. Of course it seems like obvious bait from a cloaked Tengu! To pull people off station and then eat them for sure, but eventually people started to scoop them up, an soon realized I was just an unskilled adventurer who was wasting time.

I feel like I have sort of been wasting time in this story because the event that amazed me the most has not come yet and thats really what I want to say! But the backstory is important. Anyways! I did end up dying once in VFK, so DONT laugh at me! It was not my fault, Team Liquid was attacking and I was going to decloak and drop some prizes for them as well when my internet cut off :[ when I logged back in I was floating in my capsule in the middle of the scariest space in the universe! But being the clever adventurer, and remembering the goal of my adventure, I decided to ask a GS member to bring me a cloaky SB that I had purchased from the station in VFK.

Do not confuse this with being naive! I am not saying I am not naive, but I am not THAT naive! I knew most likely he was either going to just keep it, or even more likely kill me, but that is the fun of it, trying to find the instance of interaction when another player does not do what is easiest, what is expected of them, but instead does the opposite for no good reason at all! Obviously my first adventure tests was to see how people responded to that happening to them, but now I wanted it to happen to me!

He killed me.

The next day I was back in VFK with a new Tengu, a prettier one I think, it had less core stabs but also less points so it was sort of a nice balance. Anyways, I continued with my prize dropping game while waiting for someone who I was waiting for but no one really knows who that is. I know it is kind of cheating, dropping prizes definitely might almost sort of affect the way people respond to a neutral in their most prized system but I think it is a fair test still! Because you seeee, I eventually did get what I wanted!

One day as my prizes were running low, I decided I wanted to adventure into wormholes as well (you see I have different adventure plans for wormholes that are much more far fetched but so much more spectacular they would be worth the loss of any number of pretty Tengus). Anyways I wanted to do the wormholes too, but did not have a probe launcher on my Tengu. I was casually mentioning this to one of the people who had regularly raced to my blue prizes, when he offered to fit my Tengu in the station for me. This was an even BETTER chance for me to achieve my goal. I told him I would accept his deal and that he could meet me in deadspace and I would eject my Tengu. I mostly expected it to be destroyed by a thousand angry missiles, but there is always that hope you know!

Continued T_T

I enjoyed this read very very much.

I lived trough something similar long ago as a nub trying to find my place into eve and missed that life style ever since.

Will get back to unconventional eve play as soon as I get my isk printing scheme in place.

Thank you for this inspirational, well written and funny report of your adventures into the great random.



Cheers

nice story i enjoyed it !
