EVE General Discussion

I subscribed to EvE.

When I lived in low sec and was a pleb, used to having my safety set to red 23/7, I managed to Concordokken one of my Navy Ravens during a high sec war by shooting a blue wreck to deny a warpin point. Much to my surprise the GM explained that even though a blue wreck belongs to "everyone" it also belongs to "no one" at the same time, hence the swift and hilarious lossmail. Granted it was only T2 fitted so no biggie, but it was quite embarrassing.
Then we laughed at me it on TS and the GM was a bro so I may or may not have gotten reimbursement.

I think "worst" is tricky. How to define...

b/c Stupid: Pimp fit Golem I tried to take through HS w/ low sec status. Cops locked me me, killed me, killmail went to a noob ship that took some pot shots.

b/c Arrogant: T1 hauler in Nullsec killed by pirates. Escaped 8 times from gate. Didn't stop going gate to gate. Should have cloaked up but thought "I got this". I did not, and lost a couple bil in cargo.

b/c Baited: Tengu in Jita. Trying to grive griefers taking loot from bait wrecks... and got a flag. Bye bye Tengu.

b/c I'm So Tough: Pimp Nighthawk in null... "I can ALWAYS make it back to gate... except when I can't. To be fair it took a fair size fleet about 15 mins to break the tank, but break it they did. Totally locked down. Got many complements on tank as I was dieing though.

No, you actually don't.

I was drunk one night and decided that I just had log on my alt to move my JUMP FREIGHTER the 9 jumps through gates to Jita. It only had like a Tengu and some stuff in it, not even worth a bil, so I'm cool, right?

I learned that night that ,somehow, being drunk makes you forget WAR DECs. I knew i was falling asleep 2 jumps form Jita and turned on autopilot.

I woke up with my JF in Jita with like 8% hull left being killed by a war target brutix and cynabal. Watching 7 billion isk worth of ship (with another Bil in cargo) slowly blow up is WAY more sobering than any amount of coffee .......

1. Lost a Tengu doing Worlds Collide in Angel space after a 3 year break from PVE. Ohhh I'll just aggro everything Then died trying to get the loot. Twice. I think I ended up ninjaing in an ibis to swipe it, pretty sure I was hyperventilating by that point.

2. PVPing on 3 different alts with +5s, lost them all in the space of a month due to lag. Pretty sure the GMs were giggling like little kids when they replied to my bawwing petitions. Especially the final ones where I resorted to howling, it's not faiiiiiiir. As you do.

3. Forgot to update clones. Three times on two alts, lost Caldari BS 5 every time. Then retrained it >.> I hate Caldari, no idea why I bothered.

4. Jumped a carrier in with a fleet in Tribute, got bounced off by a friendly titan 400km (seriously I've never moved so fast). Whilst dying to ROL (fml) the whole coalition was going "hahaha look at that berk" and the FC was screaming "don't even think about asking for reimbursement for that, you're banned from my fleets".

5. Lost a JF to a Nyx on a bugged POS after scouting & hauling for 5 hours. After having sent a corp mail the day before warning people about the pilot & the POS. Although this one did make me laugh - actually most of them did, which never goes down well when you're in comms. "Hehe ono ohgod oops" usually gets you a telling off :|

The best one was the one that didn't die though. Built a titan for a corpie, launched it from it's CSMA or w/e - watched it bounce off the POS 200km or so. Honestly with that one I was unable to speak for minute or two, so horrifed. It wasn't even fit. The titan alt was 15 jumps away too. He shrieked on every gate probably because I was going "I'm sorry, I'm sorry ahaha ohgod hostile fleet reported, better get a move on."

For a time my worst loss was thanks to CCP in a Sansha live event taking out my ship in 10 seconds. 20+ Nightmares on your case is no laughing matter let me tell you.

I recently realized that a Federation Navy Comet I lost in a covert site (BUFFER tank, not high resist, is what works - an expensive lesson) has a module on it that was worth around 150 million ISK. I didn't know it at the time. An astero I lost in the same manner was slated at around 106 million ISK value but the Comet was hovering around 200 million total. Though I didn't know it at the time.


Since I have the skills to use and fully exploit Tech 2, I'm selling off all of my expensive bling modules now. I have been exploring and gathering up these faction/deadspace modules for years now, so I never really paid for any that I lost. But still, I would be a billion ISK richer if I had.

Worst? Whatever this is.

I wasn't even trying to fit it badly or anything, this is literally my first ship loss ever. I don't even know why I thought this would work. I followed it up three days later with this, my second loss ever.

Most expensive?

Well, I lived in a C2 wormhole for a week or so. Decided to move out. Decided it was a great idea to do this 10 minutes after seeing a Proteus and Sabre on DScan. Had a lowsec exit into Taisy. Load up my Noctis with my loot from the last 2 or 3 days, I dunno why I thought this was a good idea when I had a Prowler alt 5 jumps away... Boom goes the Noctis with 150M in loot. I decide "Eh, whatever, I'll just sell the hole, maybe I can get some money for it." Make a post on the sell order forum about it, get contacted within 30 minutes. Start offlining POS mods, offering to sell the tower- a large Amarr tower- to the guy, along with all the mods. He accepts. I set everything offline, start unanchoring it all... one hour unanchor timer on the tower. Ugh. The guy brought in a small POS to hang out in during that time. Weird, but okay.

We wait out the timer and warp back to the tower. Neither of us thought "hey, let's DScan it first" for some reason. We land... Sabre, 6 T3s, and an Iteron 5 ready to scoop the tower. Oh.

Actually, y'know what, that day might qualify for dumbest loss, not the "I don't know how to fit" ones.

Smartbombed a high sec gate before the safety button existed, lost a navy megathron. i'll look for the most expensive ship that another player blew up

Worst loss wasn't necessarily the most expensive. When it happened in me gaming life, and HOW it happened sort of added to the drama of it all. Lost a Rupture, all decked out in meta 4 to a mean old guy (I still keep on my contacts list for future retribution, and I will avenge this loss) who entered a mission I was doing. He DID let me "go" for one ISK after lecturing "the noob" about missioning in low sec space.

Pod with full genolutions by warping into a smart bombing rokh in low sec. I wasn't even supposed to be in that clone at the time. This was followed closely by my first T3 ever, a loki that I was flying to an incursion system while at war *facepalm*.
