EVE General Discussion

Once, a station killed me. I had forgotten that the stations in NPC nullsec have guns and do not appreciate being shot.

10 pages and going strong.

I read them all and I gotta say, some of the ones mentionned give an awful déjà vu... So here's another:

My main started a while ago going the Caldari route (Kestrel, Caracal, Drake...) until I had finally trained into an awesome ship, the Tengu. Since I played in lowsec at the time, it made sense to have a rather mobile ship instead of the CNR for my PVE. Then, once I realized this ship was great for PVP, it ended up being a running gag in my corp how I kept losing Tengus. The funny part is how every loss was quite different from the others:

1. Lost doing PVP going after L5 missioners
Their Domi came back as a bait neut domi and waited at 0. - New lesson: the power of the neut Domi.

2. Lost doing 'unconsensual' PVP
Getting tackled in lowsec on both sides of the gate. - New lesson: how to properly cross-tackle a target 101.

3. Lost pulling a LEEROY MMJENKINS right into a new 0.0 complex
The one that escalates into 'Special Forces' in Angel space, went in thinking it can't possibly be worse than the hardest Guristas lowsec site. - New lesson: always do your PVE research.

4. Lost AFK to rats in 0.0
"... Dude, I SWEAR the tank was active before I went do my dishes quickly?" - New lesson: do not AFK. Period.

--- NOTE --- At this point, I had been basically playing the game making ISK only to spend it on my new Tengu. Number 5 is the one I purchased after selling 90% of all assets so I could continue on my Tengu journey.

5. Lost unassembled being hauled on kick-out station
Literally an error causing me to buy a bunch of ammo in 4 different stations instead of Jita. The kickout station, only lowsec on that list, was the last stop before heading back home. Also the only tengu lost on Thor Kerrigan. - New lesson : kick-out stations exist.

--- NOTE --- Nickname officially acquired...

6. Lost to obvious covert cyno bait
Eventually got some ISK back, this one probably has the longest survival record... started AFK cloaking and got caught, roflstomped.

7. Lost getting awoxed in highsec
Seriously, after all these years playing the game it totally deserved it.

8. Still alive? Got sold eventually.

9. Still alive, purchased a new one and is now collecting dust because Ishtars

you sir are doing BOB's work, i wish i could join. but alas i am a pirate

The bad: I've purchased two Tengu hulls on separate occasions. I can't even fly a Tengu.

The good: I was patient and made a profit on each.

The ugly: I roleplay.

You! Don't ever join the same coalition as me!
This is too ^.-

Fleet was on the other side of the gate, we are in warp.

Me, "We going to camp here?"
FC, "Yeah, we will hold here."
Me, "Logi anchor on me."
*Pulls range setting up*
FC, "Everyone jump"
Me thinking, "WHAT?!"

Thank goodness none of the other logi listened to me.

Had the greatest thing happen!
I warped into a system and ... the station was bubbled. I couldn't enter it to help my frands!

.... BUT the reds did an amazing job tackling and killing me!
I lost a 2M ISK Talwar
Then I was podded into the station I was trying to reach.
Undocked a logi and denied many kills!
Use kill mail (w@#$%ing) drones and got 100M+ worth of kills!

All in all, never been so happy to be killed in EVE. Thanks Brave!

I guess this is my last post at this rate. I am not enticing more stories out of you guys.

Fit and explosive harderner not an EM Hardener to my paladin. Derp.

Turn off a Cargo Hold expander on a T2 Industrial causing the ship to be over stuffed "for science." Do this in Thera, where warping drains your capacitor to 0. Land on station, find out I cannot dock. No real problems yet... Tornado undocks, can't cloak cause on station, can't warp cause over stuffed, can't dock cause over stuffed. Derp. Didn't even need to warp disrupt me.

I love wake and bakes playing eve.... just don't talk to me on comms.

When I had my first ever EVE toon, I used to buy low-price ore, for re-sell, from low-security stations in a backwater constellation somewhere, and I ferried the goods in a freighter I could in no way afford to replace, on my lonesome and without escort. I burn with shame even to this day!
