Not sure which you'd class this as, probably more stupid than ballsy with a touch of weird:

In an old corp of mine we got bored of chasing down our wartargets, so went into low sec for a change to see what we could find. When one pilot in the corp I shall only call Dax gets into a fight with a pirate at a belt... we go in to assist... more pirates show up and ends up in a fleet battle of which we were out numbered... the only person in our corp to get out was this Dax despite the pirates desperatly trying to catch and kill him.

Probably worst ever though was a 3b tengu fit that was just pure tank for 10/10 plexes. Not in a null alliance so had no support or intell. Was scanning and tanking with the tengu and bringing an sb in for dps.

Actually worked ok for a whilekept having to replace the sb though and i eventually sobered up long enough to realise that having a ship like that in 0.0 was gonna end in tears.

I even had t1 rocket launchers on it cause i decided to refit it to take the frigs out and there wasn't much else for sale in the area.

So, 3b, t1 rocket tengu in null thats gotta be a contender, no?

Hmm. Don't know if this is ballsy, or stupid, or both...

While part of a draaaaake fleet roaming back in the old days, we were chased by Darkside. Into a PL fleet. I got seperated as the fleet I was in disintegrated - so I am sitting at this planet, the only guy not in Darkside on grid. Fortunately, I was a bit off, and had ECM drones - they didn't get me. I warp to the gate - and PL fleet is sitting on gate, with bubbles. I break my fingers hitting MWD and aligning to different gate, just manage to get out... and land on gate next to Darkside Fleet. I jump. They jump. I burn like hell back to the gate while my drake is melting into armor. I jump... and PL Fleet is on the gate. I align to another out gate, and manage to warp off to bookmark off gate. I think I'm good. Inties begin warping around me. I warp to another gate, jump, and keep running - and cross jump Darkside again.

The drake survived. I had to replace my chair.

I was in a gang with a friend from a different corporation when somebody warped in and ganked her. Pirate

I went chasing after the rogue with all guns blazing, followed him into hyperspace to a nearby station, relocked and was promptly wasted by the Concorde turrets. Doh! Oops

The swine mopped up my T2 wreckage and moved on.

Stupidest thing: as a new player, avoiding low-sec for months out of irrational fear.


I did this for the better part of a year. Now Low sec is normal to me..

I still fear null a bit though :S

I have, and continue to do a lot of dumb things, that makes the game exciting. However My worst I ever did, without knowing what would happen is:

I had been mining in a Hulk for just a few days, and was a carebear at the time, not understanding agression. Had a guy in a rifter can flip me, so I figured I would let my drones chew on him while I waited for concord to show up....

They never came. That was an expensive mistake.

back in 2004 in lowsec I was jumping some stuff a few jumps in my Badger II, I got attacked by a Battleship from about 200km afar (he only hit with his criticals I mean "wrecking shots") took him 3-4 shots to kill me: Stupidest because: Instead of just warping away I tried to fly the 15km to gate, most of his shots missed anyway but he got me 1000m from jumping range.

Lost quite a bit of money that day because I didn't think of warping away ;)

After surviving from gate camp, i wrote "Haha i am too quick for you guys.. Sorry , nice try :P " in local,

And entered the bubble and decloaked by cans at exit stargate.

20 people just laughed before popped my cloaky industrial in milliseconds.

I spent a month building 10,000 condors, 14 hours moving them to a POS with a rorqual and ejecting them into space, then blew up them with a manticore. Dotlan registered it as 20,000 kills due to the wrecks. I still think this is the largest number of kills in any one system in Eve history. This was done in DBRN a few months ago.

Sucks that your computer was seriously flawed. Don't blame CQ, your GPU wasn't getting enough cooling. Honestly, I'm amazed how people can put blame on CCP for this. I stress test every comp I build for 12+ hours to make sure it's stable, and CQ comes nowhere close to stressing your gpu as a stress test does.

As for stupid things I've done... lets see. I logged out to avoid a 50+ roaming frgate fleet with my 3 accounts in nullesc, 2 domis and a drake. But then I logged on 10 minutes later because I was drunk and was only 1 jump from my destination. Got bubbled, lost it all and got podded on all 3 accounts.... ya that was awesome.


I should've just passed out and finished my trip in the moring, but instead I lost 500+ million isk.

I frankly run CQ and Eve in High with only a G-card and it has a built on fan Mine hasnt died yet and im on eve alot. And stress testing my computer has proved very good results. =) yey for new Gen-Tech-Durability.

My Worst situation was recruiting my RL friend to play eve and run his corp when he goes awol for 5 months after spend 400$ for PLEX's after running his corp to better standings. (he wanted a POS and was making me do all the work even though he was capable of doing it too). So I dropped from his corp and am waiting for him to give up paying for the game if he wont play. (he too complains about CQ -but keeps sayin his computer is better built then mine Lol )

Long, long time ago, when I was a pilot in ASCN and we fought against BoB 1.0 I decided an AFK-travel to highsec in a shuttle. So I renamed my winged little coffin to "I don't care", set the route through the war-zone and let the autopilot move me. After a working day when I arrived at home I logged in, ready to buy a new clone, and it was a huge astonishment to see my shuttle intact and my poor clone alive in the hisec system, my destination. Made it through bubbles, gatecamps. :)
Still I have that shuttle with the same name in the same system.

Well the wiedest thing I have ever done was. When I was mining ore in high sec I was playing with my D-scan and saw an orca unmaned. I thought it was wierd so I move my miners to my Pos and got in a cloaked ship and started hitting the other belts. Low and behold I fine a miner mining in a hulk next to an unmaned orca. This guy fly out here in the orca launches his hulk gets out of orca in to hulk and starts to mine. Funnest dam thing I have ever seen. So I fly back to my POS after bookmarking the positon of orca leave my ship wait 20 sec then warp to the orca. I get there an able to get into orca and fly away with it. took it one jump dock it. And had to tell everyone. But wait it get better the next day the dumass is doing it again and again I steal the orca for him LOL greats two days in EVE so far.

I did this several time : I was waiting all day long for several days hunting global aggroed pods and/ships in high sec in a Hulk wih my alt and sometimes with some bored friends :P. Funniest way to enforce law :))
