EVE General Discussion

Well, back in days I lived in Great Wildlands and was in Foundati0n allaince. We were in war against -V- and I was moving from NDQ to 7JF to make some ISK in my ratting raven, fitted with prototype cloak. Intel was good, but still somehow I managed to jump in small -V- patrol. Vagapond and some other ships. I uncloaked and cloaked and started slowboating with cloaked raven. Well, about 20-30 minutes laters I was still in middle of those hostile ships, cloaked in a raven and they couldn't find me Eventually they just shouted something at local and left.

Second ratting raven story I have from the borderzone between Etherium Reach and Great Wildlands. I had bit different fit, I had buffer shield fit and double large smarties at highslots. I was engaged by four recon ships. Rapiers and Arazus and they throw drones on me and damps. Well I smash the drones with smarties and they are chewing my tank. After 5 mins they are still chewing my tank...... Not enough DPS to bring down 200 dps ratting tank, oh the smack on local against those four useless recons...

Third memory is from M-M, fight against Red Alliance. It was just before I left from EVE. We were engaging in sniper fight, and they had lot's of falcons. Yeah remember sniper BS's and falcons?? Oh those were times, dropping AoE doomsdays. Well I had just lost my Typhoon (my char in that fight was Coros) and I had actually been podded. So I grabbed one of my vagabonds and undocked. Fight was still going and I burned towards those falcons. The battle was large, something like 400 in local (NPC space) and I reached first falcon and engaged it. It was jamming and I had ECCM so it couldn't start jamming me straight away. I burned through his shield really fast and it went down. Then I burned against second and it actually started jamming me, but jam didnt land and it went down too. At that point their FC apparently noticed what was going and their whole sniperfleet started engaging me, lonely vagabond chasing their falcons. Their falcons also started warping off when and switched locations. I was caught and podded, again.

Well, -1 M SP from Minmatar BS V.... FUFUFUFU IIRC sold the character in next day

1) I undocked drunk
2) tried it again next day with hangover

I got fed up of losing ships to a drained cap, so I tried fitting a bs with eight heavy nosferatu's and killing stuff with drones.

That didn't work either.

wormhole...

hunted a lonely scanfrig with my faction fitted kronos.

Turned out the scanfrig was not alone and those 2 battleship neuted like the ****. Boom. I didnt even hit the frig.

I used to do level 3 missions in cruisers for the challenge. After awhile, I got good at it using a Caracal, so I decided to look toward other ships. Everyone trash talks the Moa, so I decided to take one into a level 3 Angel Extravaganza (back when it had 4 turrets). It was a what I thought was a crappy ship going into what I thought was hard mission. It actually worked decently, much to my surprise and my corp-mates.

Ever since then I kind lost respect for AE and gained some for the Moa.

Flew a standard freighter from Mies to CHAQ-2 with only 2 BS's for support..... and made it completely intact : D

most stupid thing I've done so far was flying a freighter from Rens to Jita manualy (that itself is stupid), then at one point warped to the wrong gate and suddenly found myself in low-sec with just over 1,5 bill isk worth of cargo...

Being more lucky then I deserved I slowboated back to the gate and jumped out without anyone noticing ^_^

[Edit] Also, the only thing I've ever killed with a stealth bomber is myself

Probably qualifies as both dumbest and ballsiest...

Participating in an Agony 'Wolfpack' roam with my desktop still on wireless Internet. Held up surprisingly well until Caldak warped to that POS (graphic effect freaks out my card sometimes).

Needed to head to work by then anyway. :-) One 7 Mill Thrasher for five hours enjoyment, good trade-off.


Another 'dumbest' would be trying the first iteration of PI, realizing it was causing pain in my wrist, and training a PI-based char on release anyway. The char got shelved for six or so months until v2 of PI was released.

Dumbest: make 54 jumps tru 0.0 from my previous alliance base to my next one with all my belongs in a Blasterthron.

Attempt to gank anyone not blue in the way meanwhile... almost got a republic fleet stabber, who almost got me when his falcon friend show off good thing i was able to deaggro and warp bacl tru gate.


Weirdest: after a couple of weeks of utter boredom bought a clone jumped to hi-sec and began to travel from jita to all the know trade hubs looking for wartargets , ended up killing a couple of small scan frigs the enemy used for suicide ganks.


To do: Clone jump to my old 0.0 HQ get my neutron fit DIEMOST and travel back to hi-sec shooting anything on my way

Not sure on weirdest or ballsiest but I have a story im proud of in the balliest category.

I'm all about wormhole corps. Our C4 home had a door open to a C5 couple years ago. This by the way was the highlight of my Eve career. In the C5 was a festering mass of big-time Russian pirates. As usual when a door opens we send our expert cloaky scanner through to see if it's active. He sees 3 Helios scanning already, 3 Large starbases on scan, and a ton of Battleships and advanced Cruisers at the towers.

We're proactive because we have one tower, and we were in the process of completing our defenses, resources being short between 15 members. Our scanner came back through, reporting. We had to close that hole, they would be coming through any minute. We'd had this threat before but not on such a magnitude.

We get our Orcas, with the scanner on their side watching to be sure its clear and our babies get to work dropping the hole's mass.

I still don't know what happened but on the final trip, before it could return the final Orca had a mixup and got the session timer lag bug just after a 40-man fleet of pirate battleships and cruisers appeared on their side of the hole. It were stuck in enemy territory. Up went the bubbles. My ballsy move was that, knowing the whole force could not go through to defend them until they could pass as it risked stranding the entire corp if it closed, I rammed my Scorpion through, appearing in the center of the furball on their side, ECMing like crazy, getting locked and rocked. I don't know if 40 ships could take down an orca in the minute or so they were locked in there, but I know alot of ships switched targets to me, evidence being I exploded after holding the line. I darted my pod back through exactly as the Orcas unlocked and passed through, and we all popped out in our home, the hole was gone, stranding a pirate Domi that chose the wrong time to head through.
