EVE General Discussion

Mine was prob when I lost a Venture AND a barge on the same day, but I'm a relatively new player, so I'm sure there's worse to come.

The day I realized how lame null-sec is.

You should be happy to know that I have made a home in Low-sec

Lost my niddhoggur filled with everything I owned (2bil at the time) and prodded back to minny carrier IV

Probably one of the multiple times that I almost got kicked from corp.

I have a colored history.

Bookmarking this thread so I can read it and feel better on my future worst day on EVE.

Friends come and go, but enemies are forever!

Long ago, I was once fool enough to go to Old Man Star.

That was a bad day indeed.

The loot fairy is, contrary to belief, not a fairy at all. She is an unbathed, mono-mammaried green-skinned troll of ill-repute with at least 4 venereal diseases unrecognized by modern medical science and an expensive habit of mixing PCP and coke together, then ingesting as a suppository in any orifice which she can find a creative way to absorb it except the usual means.


Worst day in Eve? When I realized that all of the incredible possibilities that had just blown my mind regarding the potential behind Eve's mechanics for reconnaissance, spying, counterintelligence and direct misleading were all cut off at the knees and castrated by two things:

Local Chat and the Watch List.

The day I clicked the hotlink to the forums for the very first time...

Nothing terrible happened in the end, but I remember one particularly stressful night.

Earlier this year when BL's assets were burning in Venal, I left my phone in another room and missed the ping to extract supers. This was when they ejected all the supers seconds before the tower went down. (We were surrounded by a CFC blap fleet.) I thought there was a good video of it but I can't find it now.

After 3+ weeks of not being able to log in that toon (except 1m before DT to change skills), I was mulling over a solo extraction op. I scouted the system and of course there were 2 AFK cloakers keeping tabs on the system. The original plan was to spam login after DT and either try to MWD out of the bubbles or cloak and spend 1 hr slowboating out of the bubbles, depending on whether there was anyone in local. This was before I knew you could extract a super from such a camp by logging in seconds before DT. Also, yes, I now know what a terrible idea this was.

I didn't want to risk having eyes in the system right before DT so as to not tip anyone off, so I was pretty much hoping that the AFK cloakers were indeed semi-AFK and not going to log in the second the servers came online. I was sick to my stomach for like 3 hours leading up to DT. Fortunately I chickened out at the last second with my finger on the trigger on the login screen.

Instead I logged my scout back in just to have a look at local to see what would have been waiting for me had I logged in. Despite spamming login, the AFK cloakers still beat me to local, so I would have undoubtedly been caught had I attempted to extract. Fortunately, Elo put together a proper extraction op for me and others with the help of TRI which still ended up being pretty suspenseful.
