My first PVP loss was about a year after I started EVE. I had taken a break right after they introduced WH's to EVE I was gone for a few months.
When I came back there still was not a ton of info about WH's I scanned one down and jumped through on the other side was a Tengu camping. He quickly disposed of my caldari destroyer and pod.

And that was my first PVP loss.

I was heading out to lowsec to meet up with some people in a bait-fit thorax. They had me waiting in a system as the gate on the other side was camped. I think I was in a lowsec system already, and I safed up. I wasn't paying close attention and a cynabal warped in on me and got me pointed before I could warp out. I pointed him and managed to survive a decent bit with my surprise armor tank, but alas none of my compatriots could get to me before I blew up. I got my pod out though. That'll teach me not to pay attention while in unfriendly space, even at a safe spot.

When I was a nub I told my corpmate that I could take him on. I learned 3 things that day...

- RL age doesn't matter. Despite being 16 (and me 26) he had more experience in the game than I did.
- Bringing another newbie corpmate as [dishonorable] backup doesn't really work unless you have a plan. I did not have a plan beyond "warp to" and "F1."
- I did not know how to fit a ship properly.

My poor Incursus. Sad

How did you Veterans start?

Looks like it was within a week of starting the pvp alt, took part in a Redemption Road public fleet roam in a tackle T1 frigate. From memory, there was a call to warp to a plex, I initially warped to the wrong one, paused mid-warp owing to lack of cap. Couple of other frigates on that plex so I warped out again immediately. I warped to the correct plex, again pausing mid-warp. Course, by the time I got there, those two were ready and waiting. One was another tackle Slasher, the DPS was provided by his mate, in a Fed Navy Comet.

As an aside, in looking at the details for this character, there appear to be records of losses in this name attached to a 'Doomheim' corp from 2011... which is rather odd, as I only started playing in Feb 2014. Are names from biomassed characters re-allocated to the general pool?

My first loss was in lowsec. I was watching NPC corp chat and noted two new players on the verge of ragequit. So I told them that's not the spirit of the game. I managed to talk them into going into the lowsec system where they got ganked and take the fight back to who ganked them. I went with them.

We lost. But a good time was had by all. And they didn't quit.

Bring back DEEEEP Space!

About 3 weeks after I first started a few years back now, autopiloting an empty shuttle through hisec. Was silly enough at the time to think an empty shuttle would not be a gank target.

Never autopiloted since :D

Nearly two years ago myself & a friend volunteered to go out on a Null Sec suicidal roam to experience PVP for the first time.
Jumped into a gate camp & Leeroy Jenkin'd my Drake(Oops) towards the nearest enemy.

It was an honourable albeit painful death but a lot of fun.

Long long time ago on my very first EVE toon I was flying my Thrasher and got invited to a duel - I had no idea about fitting at all, and had only guns and one shield tank loaded. It ended shortly and badly for my ship.

Null sec, an empty Bestower with a Mining laser fit. I was less than a month in the game and had great plans of filling it with Jaspet. The picture looked cool. Green stuff, like emeralds.

To m0o in mara many many years ago. Well thats the first one I remember anyway.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

Back when can flipping was still a thing, someone convo'd me and asked if i wanted free loot that he didn't want. I was all like 'sweet, free stuff, you guys are ace!'

then this happened:

Mining barge. A procurer I think. I D/C and came back dead. The guy noticed, apologized and refunded my ship, not just for the D/C but also for noticing my toon was less than a month old. he taught some basic skills. Like staying out of low sec, lol.

I discourage running with scissors.
