EVE General Discussion

Stupidest 1: I was changing corps and moving ships and decided to autopilot through high sec with a low security status... in my Legion.. came back just in time to see my ship esplode.

Stupidest 2: Running a epic arc mission couldn't hit a scramming rat and lost my ship then proceeded to lose two more ships to the infernal rat. Due to angrily and Hastily fitted.

Giving Director privellages to a man of Portuguese descent.

Much Corporation ISK was lost.

I got an interesting story from back in the day.


So, I was pulling a corp theft at the time all by myself. I was in an Ares for a quick get away. So I started off deep in Catch and took all of the BPO's, some +5 implants, and whatever else could fit. Then I made 20 something jumps to Stain where they had a Carrier BPC chilling (back when carriers were a big deal and new). Then I make my way back to empire space. I notice my path is taking me through HED-GP, notorious for ganktastic times. This was also when the Bob/Goon wars were first flaring up. I figure I will be ok though. I think this was before warp to zero but I felt confident I could make it ok in my inty.

So I jump into HED and notice local is flooded with tons of people. Not good but I keep going anyways. I warp to the gate and get pulled off by a bubble about 70 km out. ****! There was also a massive fleet there with Bob and Goons shooting the hell out of each other. DOUBLE ****! So I kick in my MWD and burn toward the gate straight between the two fleets, missiles flying over my head, lasers burning everywhere on my path. I thought for sure some joker would decide to target the one lone inty streaking around.

I got lucky though. I managed to burn through that wall of fire and jump out into empire space where I promptly found the nearest station, docked up, and heaved a massive sigh of relief.

Most Stupid: Going into a wormhole flying a minnie ship (I was the ONLY one in corp that flew rust, everyone else flew caldari, those snobs), and without any skills what so ever for scanning. The result? I was stuck in a WH for a bit while I trained up Caldari Frigate to fly the Heron sitting in the Corp Hanger dealy, there was also the basic skillbooks sitting in there, next to the Heron.

Ballsiest: Flying my partially deadspace fitted Macherial from 6vdt to highsec with no scouts and the intel channels closed. I still have that same Mach :D

Weirdest: Was in a wormhole with 1st corp, was warpin around planets "discovering' stuff, and i noticed something strange, it appeared that the star in there was following me, as in it was always directly behind me. I need to stop going into wormholes

Opened a third account,.... then a forth account. Just don't do it! Well problem resolved.

Stupidest/Ballsiest: though the rest of my fleet was 12 jumps away, i solo tackled a carrier. after being popped i kept bumping the carrier in my pod and was being really annoying till they podded me.

Wierdest: My friend Breia Starbeam decided to autopilot from our home system in null to jita, something like 40+ jumps i think, in a shuttle. Somehow he made it there and then autopiloted the whole way back.

When I was very new to the game I decided I wanted to see the EvE gate in the new Eden system. So I did. In a Rifter.
I then found out about all the cans people had anchored there, some as memorials but most just like 'xxxx was here!!!'.

Wanting to do the same thing I started looking for a place to buy a small secure container. Erhm.....what?!? Nearest is 11 jumps out?
Then and there I decided it would make me serious Isk if I would be the supplier of those containers in the nearest station, which happened to be in the Angur system.
'Ok, lets do this. Zip to Amarr, buy a Sigil, load it with all the small secure containers it can hold and zip back to Angur.'.....

In an unfitted Sigil, without having a clue about low-sec, and without getting shot at once.

It then took 3 whole months to sell 21 containers for a net profit of 4200 Isk.......

I don't know where to put this so what the heck.

At about 19:43 EvE Time today i lost 96 mil to a doubler in dodixie, funny part is though i really only lost like 3 million because he was actually doubling for a lil bit there

Stupidest: I (drunk) once popped & podded my own alt while gate camping in AAS-BR. The alt was carting half a bill's worth of stuff to the local station in an Itty. Not a lot dropped.

well this month i sold an obelisk for 750k instead of mil, yes, i know people never fall for that.
Well guess what?

Not the first time either sadly.
