EVE General Discussion

Spent too long ratting one night and was getting pretty blase chomping through anoms for a few hours straight. Was surprised to realise that a Sansha flying a Dramiel had tackled me. Oh wait.

Many....

Tried to solo a nightmare in a caracal was one :p
( got insta-popped )

Tried to solo a lvl4 combat mission.... With a Orca...
( think it was gone bazerk )

Using a covert tengu , as a tackle on a small fleet... Without backup



Many more fails

Pvped in a pure officer/deadspace fitted CNR. And it wasn't even my ship...

My low-sec tower was reinforced by some lowlifes. Come timer, I put a cloaky cyno alt 100k off the tower and waited.

Sure enough, in came a dread with rep carrier and about 20 subcaps. Logged in 2 x POS gunners and tried my best to take out some of the subcaps. Repping carrier just kept repping them because locktime on POS guns is pathetic.

All the while I was getting angrier and angrier about why my tower was being hit! So I did something really stupid.

I got sooooo angry, I logged the POS gunners and jumped in my Chimera and cynoed myself in on a guaranteed suicide mission, determined to take someone out.

Warped right on top of the subcaps and started discoing while I put the fighters on the carrier. Total waste but I had a ball when they saw the cyno and thought a fleet was coming in to pop them. The reaction in local was priceless.

I did get kudos in local for being so brave but the +-2b ISK loss hurt after I calmed down and realised how stupid I was. Been hoping they get caps out of low ever since. That's if they want low to be populated anyway.

If this ever happens, ask around. There are many, many groups that love to drop on small groups bashing poses in Lowsec and will happily assist you pro bono at the chance for some cap kills. Ask around a bit and you should get connected with the right people. It helps to have a reputation of being reliable, but even if you just provide intel it'll probably get checked out.

This was actually offered. By some lowsec locals that I had blued (so I could get around) and my alliance blues said they would bring in caps for the kill. (We're talking bigtime too).

Problem I had was that my local blues (whose friends were bigtime) and my alliance blues (also bigtime) were red to each other. Who do you ask? Since both offered to help and knew the timer, I felt that it'd start a massive cap fight to save a 200m tower! So I chose to negotiate out.

I made a 24 hour "get out of lowsec" financial deal with the reo people, which they honored. What they did was tell a different alliance to come do the kill. So I lost it all.

bought a plex to renew my subscription.

Weirdest: Speaking of this subject in the forums

I was brand new to the game, after coming from WoW. I was trying to buy a new module for my ship, and didnt know how the market read. I was use to wow where the colors mean alot and so was focused on the Bright green buy orders, and thought that meat the market contianed those items, and tried to buy the module from the green buy orders, ended with my almost leaving the game, but thought I would try one last time to make it work, and so headed to a low sec station that had a green buy order to get my module, and was podded undocking without my module, Bought a 15 million sp clone and drained my isk account for it. Alos quickly after that realised I had to pay attanetion to the non colorful words in the market and those mattered more for me. Trained now not to ignore the dull grey words.

This was just a couple weeks ago--back when modules were randomly offlining. I sold all my assets except for a Dominix and some spare modules to buy a Scorpion Navy Issue and the spiffiest deadspace shield booster I could find. Got out to a mission site and realized that one of my shield hardeners was offlined. Barely had enough cap to do it, but I put the module online and started getting into the fight just as I got tackled by three warp scrambler frigs.

You can all guess what else was offline; I'll skip past the details of my humiliating loss of a billion isk worth of space shinies. Now I find myself back in the station with nothing to my name but a Dominix and a bucket of assorted tech 1 modules.

So I frankenstein-ed together a passive shield-tanked Dominix, kitted it out with auto-cannons, and spent the next week earning the hell out of a new Scorpion Navy Issue and a deadspace shield booster to match.

The daftest part of that was that I could have used part of the proceeds to buy a Megathron, or a Raven, or even a simple armor repper...but it was just too much fun! Every time I warped into a mission site I couldn't help but laugh at how bloody stupid I felt piloting a passive shield-tanked auto-cannon Dominix, so I kept on going.
