Not very much upsets me, but I remeber this to my end of days.

Bought a T1 Hauler for 700 million ISK

I came out of a wormhole and saw a retriever when I was new. With my stealth bomber I engaged - only to be blown up by Concord.

I once bought a Berserker I drone for 430 mill in UMI-KK thinking it cost 430k. Just hoping the seller wasnt an inactive account. Expencive way to learn to double and tripple-check prices before buying anything.

When I was on one of my alts during the burn jita event, I got trigger happy and forgot to update my clone when I got podded almost 4 times (iirc) and lost a bunch of SP's >.< ...

Ouch much? -hides in shame-

Going back about 9 years Shocked

Bought my first BS, a typhoon. It cost me all my isk and I had sold everything I owned, and I was very proud of it's dustbin-ish looks. Suffice to say I had no where near the skills I would need to use it properly, but who cares, it was massive. Ofc, every good ship needs good insurance, so I fit some mining lasers, and 4 torp launchers and head to the belts.

In warps a can flipping merlin, and he flips my can. The damned cheek! I won't stand for that! He is but a fly to my mighty elephant, and I shall swat him with my trunk! Well the opposite happens, my torpedoes are completely ineffective while he orbits and plinks away at my death machine.

There is nothing I can do, so I appeal to my flatmates (who are also my corp mates) to come to my aid. Instead, they come and stand in my room and watch, while laughing at me. The ordeal lasted at least 10 minutes before my once mighty ship exploded in a flash of blue.

And there I was, iskless, and mining in a noobship so that I could buy a frigate.

Pleasingly, I was treated to a cup of tea by one of my flatmates. The other, however, called me a noob and suggested my time would be better spent by unblocking the toilet.

ha, like it. ;)

Reminds me of the same story when I bought my Geddon, my first BS, in Nov 2004. Named it the golden eagle. Was in service in PURE as we colonised Vale of Silent for about three years until I got my second Geddon, upon when it got retired. I still have it. Now is even more glistening glory thanks to the graphic updates. :)

Different Characters, but about a year ago I fitted 3 mackinaws and attempted to drone gank people outside Amarr undock. Was beautiful, but sadly short lived.

I was but a lowly ninja salvager trying to get money to buy a Raven.

I probed down some guy running a Lvl 4. So I went back to station, hopped in my Noctis, and warped over there.
Immediately when I entered the room, he started burning towards me. Dragging all the rats with him. When he was close enough, he warped off.

The rats scram'd me and I lost my Noctis.

The only person i've ever scammed was a 7 year vet who subsequently quit the game right after Oops
I feel worse over missing a pod kill while typing this than the fact he quit ( over a mere 400mil )

Worst: Playing without having booted myself up properly, leading to pod and ship losses, as well as scamming myself out of 50m isk on a contract. Could be worse I guess.

Best: Meeting many cool people ingame.

Worst: My first pvp kill was in a tengu
Bonus: I have Mining forman V

I disgust myself sometimes



Best: I held a command ship and a loki with a blackbird on a random celestial, till my fleet could get there.
I survived with few points in my hull Lol
