As a lvl five missioner moving all of my faction crap to Jita I put like 280 something Khanid Navy BCUs in a bantam and made my way to jita. It is a funny thing when scanning ships to gank, the bantam is overlooked long before interceptors and even shuttles.

NO ONE EVER EXPECTED THE BANTAM..

Read this thread. Seriously though, roamed around looking for solo fights in lo/null for a few weeks before learning the hard way out EVE is not really a 1v1 game. You're either part of a blob/gate camp or a victim.


My solo-roaming months were like this too...

Played for years, but about 2 months ago I was moving several characters to a new staging area.
I auto'd some 20+ jumps in a pod to go fetch some more gear. It wasn't until I set the return trip that I realised I still had the autopilot set to shortest and had afk auto'd through 3 lowsec systems.

I was in a clone with a full set of crystals and +5% hardwirings....

sit around mostly not logging in except to queue skills and paying a sub for 9 months before realizing it would have been better to just buy isk and get a char with 30m sp.

Similar to above, only I paid for my first six months while logging in only to queue Learning skills and then support skills. 7 months in, I finally started flying around.

First day of playing, I took all my nullsec Alliance's blueprints in my atron, was going to take them to our new homebase location. But when I jumped the gate, there were two interdictors on the other side. Oops. There goes 213 billion isk.

I undocked once.

Once.

It took weeks to get the smell out.

Was a victim of the classic noob "bigger is better" syndrome. Raced to battleships, only to be killed by rat frigates at a belt... I also remember managing to fit one single large artillery on a vexor. After a while I realized that bigger wasn't always better, and started putting small turrets on battleships. Er, then I learned about drones and smart bombs, and eventually how to fit properly.

Went on a DIAF roam through low-sec. Found a lone Brutix in a belt..... it was even named "Mining Brutix" on scan LolCry

DIAF time came shortly after.

This happened recently, so..... yeah. Still a nub.
