Alexej, you just got your first kill in EVE:Online. What are you going to do next?

***awaits inevetable "I'm going to RvB!!" response***

Seriously though, congrats and good job for letting someone have it in the face.
I do have some bad news for you though. You've been bitten by the PVP bug. It's not terminal, but the venom has lifetime side effects I'm afraid. In order to keep the symptoms from ruining your life you are going to need to find a place to get at the bare minimum a weekly kill or two. This can be found in a player corporation that specializes in PVP, or done solo as a YARR!! in low sec space. You can join one of the many Null-sec alliances and maybe get to shoot somebody from time to time but why risk letting the symptoms creep up on you while you wait.
It's hard to live with but manageable. The first few months of living with it are the worst after that it gets easier. Good luck to you. Enjoy New Eden!!

Warped out instantly, came back with shuttle to check whats happening and saw him ninja salvaging and looting (so he was flashy red)
I went back, created fast a pvp fitting for my Thorax, went back and killed him.
I know it's so little and nobody cares but


I feel like a boss now



You are a boss now!

And I bet the whole rush you had from beginning to end is like no other you've had from any other type of game.
<3 eve rush.

Gratz on the Kill. Big smile

Welcome to the real EVE.


Way to admit to the nonexistance of the theoretical sandbox.

A sandbox that if existed would have negated that statement for there would BE no "real eve"
Just like theres no "Real Minecraft"

Mining is the "Deadliest Catch" in this game

Now that you've tasted a different play style, could you really go back to only pve grinding?

Best thing about PVP is really that even if the kill looks like absolutely nothing on the killboards, it might have been extremely satisfying to you.

And it doesn't even need to result in any wrecks at all to be great fun, and feel like an achievement.

Welcome Cool

Congratulations on your first kill, man!

Man, I'm astonished by how positive the response to this guy's thread has been! Shows that deep down, the community really does care! Big smile

Should have just used some drones, i mean, even little hobs with good skills will eat a frigate alive, good job though.

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

We care because this is the sort of behavior that should be rewarded. He was intimidated, didnt react stupidly, thought of a solution, got a good result.

Bravo.

Welcome to a whole other side of Eve. You will be FCing within a month.

Next time I read a whine thread over a gank or hi-sec not being safe enough im linking this thread.

Now you need to work your way up to some small-gang stuff and then on to fleet fights. Sure 1v1 is cool, but the rush of fighting multiple enemies simultaneously is pretty unbeatable.

Ah the shakes of early pvp. I do miss that thrill. Even taking responsibility for fleets of many dozens I can't replicate that shaky sweaty palmed feeling of the early days.

Congrats. I still fondly remember my first kill on my other (long since biomassed) character. I suicide ganked my wife's Retreiver. She hasn't played since, but no longer whines about me saying "one sec babe, I'm in a dangerous spot".


Also this guy clearly has a 20 inch wang, because I'm pretty sure that I'd find myself on my ass in the street if I pulled this.

Congrats on your 1st kill fella, may there be many moreTwisted

As to the fact of people being kinder to the op than people imagined, I think most of us love the fact that he "gets" it, and there is another pilot that we are only going to have to worry about on our overview rather than another whiner on the forums
