An alt I made for science jobs is floating around their (lowsec) home when they see something potentially tasty on D-scan. A mining barge.

I quickly discern which belt the barge is in, and deliver a ransom demand, somehow forgetting that I'm in a mere Catalyst with very, very low skills. (After all, this character has been training things like Advanced Lab Operation over combat skills).

I warp scram the Skiff, start firing on it, and ask for a ransom. Then suddenly I realise - I can't even come close to tanking the drone damage I'm taking. Embarassed, I warp out with a small amount of structure damage. The skiff is still at 85% shields.




EVE - so much more fun when you can laugh at yourself when you do something stupid.

*scratches head*

And...you didn't pop the drones why?

You were in a ship that is literally built to kill drones and frigs.......with the fastest tracking guns in the game.....

Confuzzled, I am.

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

You didn't try bumping the drones? Go with what you know and all that...

Given how fast OP's ship went into structure it would appear his low skills and/or choice of fitting (no tank at all) wouldn't have given him time to pop all drones before dying.

This, I didn't have a chance. A low meta armor repairer as the only tanking module is fine for the rats in lowsec, but not for human rats.

Plus I was really off guard because I drastically misjudged the damage I'd be taking.

Anyways, it's all fun and games. Losing a fight is often more fun than winning one - especially when you lose nothing, learn something and can laugh at yourself afterwards.

This is entirely true and anyone that doesn't realise it should probably just kill themselves IRL (in-game)

Interesting. Someone makes a tactical error (mistake) in this game and all of a sudden the whole corp/friends/blues are unintelligent? If this were true we would all be pretty ******* stupid.

Never respond to trolling with logic, Starfox. Trolls will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

A thread expressing honesty & humility instead of lying & e-peen waving. EvE kiddies read this and their brains come back with "Does not compute!" I can see them now twitching with their mouth's hanging open (bits of hot pocket crumb falling off their quivering lips and onto the floor with the rest of the trash) and saying to their screens "WTF... I must moar troll! I must show my infinite leetness wit moar troll! Blablegarble!" Their innumerable zits bursting with volcanic puss from the sheer tension of their faces as they wail into their keyboard about how their "leet skillz" would never allow them to make such a pubbie mistake because they were born uber-leet-PvP gods and this clearly makes them a higher form of life than those who admit their mortality to the world. In the darkness the cold glare of the monitor reflects of their watery, souless eyes as they quickly start reaching for their totally leetarific gank catalyst builds to show the OP how superior their intellects are by demonstrating this amazing copy/paste of a template that's been passed around more than their younger sister back in middle school.

And then when they see this scathing critique not just of their posts but of their entire existance, their response is "TL:DR" followed by bragging about how they are the most intelligent person on the entire internet.
