EVE General Discussion

what was your most notable kill / loss up to date?

I once lost a Catalyst.

Dunked a 40b FCON freighter of course. Nothing feels better than when you refine a craft to near-perfection.

Either that or when I baited a Kronos running L4s to shoot me. Killed him in a frigate.

I've also lost a Machariel to CONCORD when I was first learning the mechanics of ganking.

drunken vargur solo roam

I pressed F1 and died... Dude still died later though so yay!

WoW

My vengeance versus a fleet stabber and a couple of frigates. The fleet stabber had a grudge and was calling me out in local, so I warped to a faction warfare mission where the npcs were friendly.........and they made the mistake of coming in.

But that was only because of the guy asking for it. My second favorite has to be when I had a punisher set up to take on big game, and a cynabal landed on me in a plex. I was slow to lock, so he got the first shot and went GCC....important because of what happened later on in the fight.

I killed his warriors and started working on his shield, his neut was putting a lot of pressure on me but my small nos was letting me hold tackle. I noticed he was aligned to the station.........and then he launched the ecm drones. I don't remember how long it took for them to jam me, but when the cynabal warped........I was right behind him and I guessed his range correctly.

Lock scram, back into orbit. I was worried he was going to de-aggro and dock but his shield was going down real fast. = )

The station sentries killed him in short order, and I had a shiny solo punisher vs cynbal kill.

The loss I remember the most, I was roaming with a buddy in legions. Two pimped out garmon legions. He went afk and I noticed a call for help in arzad.

I rushed over, leaving my buddy and the links behind. I was in a rush to get over there and help.

When I arrived on grid, I started burning at the enemy ships and most of them warped away, leaving just a single battleship. We destroyed the battleship pretty easily. I was sitting there pretty bummed about the enemy militia warping away. Suddenly, my 'allies' tackled me and started dpsing me down.

My buddy came back, but our links and his legion didn't make it in time. Turned out the so-called 'friendlies' were leaving militia soon and decided they were going to shoot at anything worth shooting. Their corp failscaded shortly after, so I never did get revenge.

My favourite was a Wight knight proteus that came to the rescue of a typhoon I was chewing on with an ishkur.

I remember thinking I would be happy with killing the battleship before the t3 just swatted me out of the sky.
I had the phoon deep into hull when he did land and *pop*.....holy **** I'm still flying! OVERHEAT ALL THE THINGS!.

I was convinced I was losing right up till the moment his guns stopped and he asked for a ransom, "this isn't about isk" *boom*

I still smile about that.

My favorite remains a kill that I made after only about 3 months into the game. I came to eve b/c I wanted to pvp, unfortunately as a new player I couldnt find any pvp at all. I joined a brand new war dec corp which war dec'd some folk but mostly they would all just dock up. So I decided I would try my hand at can flipping. I was using a hound and managed to get a few hauler kills. Then one day, after I flipped a can, an orca appears. I didn't know what it was (or that it had a drone bay), but I tackled it anyway. It was a great kill - being a newbee, not knowing anything and still making a billion isk kill. Even the titan kills I have been on have not been that much fun. The target was very mad and swore to get me. Many years later when CCP changed the bounty system and people thought that bounties were meaningful, he popped out of the woodwork and slapped a billion isk bounty on me. He sent me a message saying that he finally had gotten his revenge. It was funny - it was like I killed him all over again.

also i forgot about this one, cross post from "the pirate story thread"
