You are going to have a heart attack and die if you ever pvp again.

Yes, it's normal if you don't PvP much. I bet your hands were shaking a little too, right?

Welcome to a game that actually has meaningful consequences and loss. The fear of risking what you have and the joy of victory within your grasp.

Wait till you survive a fight with less than 25% structure.

That really gets the adrenaline going.

This, my first fight, barely made it, wife looked over and asked "are you alright dear?" as I was huffing and had a death grip on the desk with the biggest smile on my face. Best 1 minute EVER!

PS. fight was not consensual on my part, something that should never ever leave this game.

It's called the PvP Shakes. This means you need to PvP more and more till they go away.

Adrenaline

It's pretty normal actually.

If it persists a while after you're done, and you feel tired and confused, it's Anxiety.

That happened. Oddly it corresponded with me warping to some celestial because welp might as well save (empty) pod.

I don't fly blackbirds anymore though.

Pvp more often and you dull that rush. All the better you get over it.

Now, if it burns when you pee vee pee, that certainly is a bad sign.

If however you suffer an erection lasting over four hours, do what I did. Call every single women you know in a 10 mile radius!

And wood ships,

Did you set up a pair of bathtubs in a random isolated location too?

That's what you're paying the $15/mo for.

I don't get this. We all know that we respawn at station if we die. Would be better if character actually dies instead of WoW like respawn.

this.

adrenaline does nothing useful for you in EVE - your body doesn't have a use for the energy surge and your mind has to keep track of a lot of different things at the same time, calm decision-making and good situational awareness are extremely important in EVE pvp and adrenaline only gets you hyped up and overly focused in a bad "tunnel vision"-style way.

Maybe you will have overheated all your guns to the max and experienced the "most epic fight evar" before going down in an adrenaline fueled battle - but at the same time you will have forgotten to use your drones, taken unnecessary damage due to not paying enough attention to transversal and completely missed the one opportunity to disengage safely when it became obvious that you didn't stand a chance.

Try to be more bored and you will perform better (losing a lot of ships does wonders for that).
