At first, even on Garamonde, I thought laser Thoraxes were just as clever.

Don't even get me started on thinking Battleships had to have small guns for "point defense".



I can one up you there.

Back then I did not think of a "required size" for ships guns nor consistency for DPS.

Meaning...

I used a mix of long range rails/arty with AC/blasters and of various sizes too.

Yes, various sizes. And if that screwed up my powergrid I just left other rack slots empty.

Yes it's OK to kill me.



Mixing guns. Crossing tank types. Paying zero attention to skill and role bonuses.
Let's not even mention the most classic newbie mistake that most players never actually get over: trying to fly every single ship like a close-range brawler frig, forever (ie: never not orbit at 700m)....



I lost a lot of atrons

And I lost a lot of Myrmidons before Gamertrav taught me how to minimize my chances of death whilst staying in the fight as long as possible.

Compared to some of what others have done in game, this one is nothing..but it was rather embarasing. I blew up the BC of an ally's alt before I realized it was his alt. It wasn't until after the fact I learned it was a friend. Weak, I know...but I have luckily been rather derp free in my Eve career..so far Blink

If I had a nickel for every time someone said women don't play eve, I'd have a bag of nickels to whack the next person who said it..

Lies. Everyone derps in EVE. The learning curve is so harsh, it practically FORCES you to derp.

I didn't say I have never derped..just rather derp free...as any derp I may have done did not cost myself or anyone else....luckily. So I have no story to tell about a tragic derp that cost xxx their xxx....just to clarify Smile

I have played this game since 2005. I've been living in null sec for a few years ... and I've NEVER lit a cyno. Not one time. I don't even know how much fuel to have or what fuel to use.

I do not like the men on this spaceship. They are uncouth and fail to appreciate my better qualities. I have something of value to contribute to this mission if only they would realize it. - Bill Frug

In no particular order :

1. Lost a Command Ship to concord attacking a player who had left the corp I was deccing, but who still had terrible standings. Saw red and scrammed it, died hard seconds later. 600mil loss, scramming a 2mil destroyer.

2. As a newbro I ran my first lvl4 in a medium artillery Abaddon :P (duel tanked too).

3. I can fly a freighter, but have NEVER had to use one since I just like to hurt people :(

4. I cross trained to Amarr based purely on the aesthetic value of 1 battleship.

5. I can fit and use a mining laser.. The shame.

I was just over 3 years in game, and 6 months in nul-sec, before I managed my first solo kill - against an empty Hoarder with my Buzzard.

In no particular order:

1. I have lost unfit ships in nullsec as I was moving them from the station I bought them in to the station where my modules were.
2. I tried to speed tank losec gate guns in 'ceptors a few times before I realized that that wasn't really a thing.
3. I used to run level 4 missions in a 4/4 rail/cruise Rokh.
4. I brought sniper Eagles to old-school battleship sniper fights before it was cool. Or effective.
5. I have been suicide-ganked while autopiloting along major pipes.
6. I nearly lost out on an Arazu kill because I assumed that my drones would, you know, attack the Arazu I was engaging and not the losec gate guns that were firing on me.
7. I shot the sheriff.
8. I have looted roughly half a billion ISK worth of stuff in the past month from offline POS arrays.
9. I hull tank, and I like it.
10. I've made most of my long-term friends in EvE by shooting at them or being shot at by them.

Cool

Worst confession ever, related to Eve.

Bailed on an alliance op with a really crappy excuse. Actual reason for bailing was because spouse was feeling frisky. Engaged in marital relations. Forgot that I had teamspeak on at the time, set to voice activation, with laptop sitting on stand next to bed.

Came back to eve later and got quite a few tips and suggestions on coital relations from corpmates.

Sweet Baby Jesus, I laughed so hard when I read that!

Once I ran up against low-sec and needed a warp core stab. I was soooooooooo happy to find one in system I didn't notice the price was almost a billion ISK. Shocked

Even worse, I bought TWO. Ugh

To this day I triple check the price of anything I buy lol.

I actually have one for this.

It covers both.


The good news is that I talked some drunken long term player out of a lot of money. Let's say I am good at that, but this time it caught me by surprise, because after I came back from work I suddenly had a billion ISK bounty on my head for ***** and giggles.

This was under the old bounty system.

I had a ********* relationship with somebody's ***, or so I was told. I was too drunk to remember anything but the virtual rash I had for weeks. (No one should be so digitally crotch-oriented for so long.) I'm sure it was nothing.

I lost a 250 mil isk BS on the first day I could fly BSs ever, to a can flipping Thorax. Granted this was back in the 0m bug where you guns stopped tracking at 0 m.

I once podded myself by blowing a huge fart.
