PVP is nice and all, but I get the biggest shakes from bursting through gatecamps with blockade runners full of precious thingies that I cannot afford to lose.
But I usually try to avoid these situations. Straight

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

That wasn't his plan. They were shooting me at this point, and I joked about how it wasn't nice to shoot fleet members. I got past a certain level of armor that I was comfortable with and decided to dock.

Nope, session change timer. I looked at that small circle in the corner of my screen and saw it keep resetting again and again. I realized they were moving me to different positions within the fleet, keeping the timer active and preventing me from docking.

I left fleet. "Oh **** oh **** oh **** oh ****" I chanted as I watched my hull bar fill with red as I maniacally smashed the dock button. I finally managed to dock safely. It's a good thing our repairs are free.

Well played, Elo Knight. Well played.



Are you guys killing each other out of boredom?

Oh well never mind.

Only once had i known the adrenaline. It was a live event in 2010, back when incursions were live events.

Since then, never again. I must have died and didn't get the memo.

I've had many.

Years ago I was in Atlas and I wanted to get on a titan kill mail so bad it hurt. I get home from work, log in, get on teamspeak and peopel are yelling about a tackled Russian Titan and bring more dictors yada yada. It takes FOREVER for my client to load, I jump into a Sabre and I burn it all the way to C-J6 . So much Chaos, couldn't get a fleet invite (I think there wa sno fleet finder then) so I warped to a moon, right planet, wrong moon lol. I know I'm about to miss the damn kill.

Warp to another moon with my guns hot. Land right on the damn titan, lock him, fire one shot, didn't even get to launch a bubble and BOOM, titan goes bye bye (for a seocnd there I thought I had the killmail, nope, a Dread got it lol). I was shaking after that.

Most of the time, though, my adrenaline moments come from barely escaping a trap in an overly expensive pve ship lol. Like that time I got my machariel back to that gate in low sec with 3% hull left. They were PISSED when i jumped lol.

Warping straight though like 21 bombs expertly delivered by the FC as the first two groups are exploding.

This game doesn't get my adrenaline pumping, but it's always exciting in nullsec. I guess the first time I did fleet combat with 100+ people in system was pretty intense, not anymore. What gets me going more than anything is when I make a mistake, honestly. Just like oh damn, I knew I shouldn't have done that, and I did it anyway how stupid. I tend to dwell on that stuff, I'm still thinking about a lose I had yesterday.

In my 1st 1vs1 duel, looooong time ago while flying a Maller vs 1 Pirate dude flying a Thorax. I won in the fight in low structure and I was shaking like mad during and after the fight. I still remember it.

Even today, 9 years later Attention I still get excited while fighting small scale fights specially when outnumbered.

The time where my adrenaline went sky high.
Was down in null and heard a a scout for a roaming fleet was inbound.
So got a ship warped to a gate safe spot to cloak up and get info on what they had coming. But soon as I got to the gate at range the scout came into system just as I was cloaking up. I watched him burn to me and started to try and decloak me, coming real close to a few times before warping off to find a target in system. His friends soon came through the gate and warped to get an easy kill on a barge that ignored the warnings of hostiles inbound. But when they went to leave the system they guessed right and warped at various ranges to the gate about ten of them formed a close bubble around me and few came so close that they needed to be a few hundred meters closer to decloak me. As they slow boated past me all could do was hope that no one sent out drones. But min later they all past by with no idea how close they came to getting a second kill in that system. Sure I made a few mistakes in that event. But I learned to do stuff a bit better since that time. One those using a Gnosis set up for probing out stuff with a basic cloak on it.

Not so much an "adrenaline moment", but I almost got my very first Navy Raven kill the other day, caught him in Gallente lowsec for whatever reason, uncloaked my bomber, lit him up... and he had a MJD and jumped out in hull. Sad

Argh and then some.
