Was picking up a skill book in low sec
Got aggro'd by a Nyx upon docking
Thought after 15 minutes he would be gone

Undock...

Boosting when you're on the grid

Try to steal of PLEX out of a wreck
On a gate filled with 'Nados boosted out like heck

Plan a route though low without checking your map
thinking the ex goon application will be a good chap
Go solo in a Blackbird with no jammers fit
then mine AFK in Hisec without a mining permit!

... in a hurry to get out to a nullsec system 12 jumps away.
Your the cyno pilot they need to deploy the fleet out to the POS.
Upon enty into Nullsec in your bomber you hit a gatecamp.
Run thru the avoidance drill
1) Orbit at 30km to random align,
2) bump the MWD on/off to give you velocity,
3) Activate Cloak.

Then you sit with tears in your eyes as you are infomed that you can't cloak while your cyno is lit....
(Hit the cyno instead of the MWD)

Realize you're getting too much damage, MWD successfully 30km back to the hole and die while spamming the jump button on a C1 wormhole thinking that the pop up message "Your ship is too large to be transported by the wormhole" is some sort of bug, you're in a cruiser anyway:

Recently killed an unfit Apoc in a war that someone was attempting to move through high sec despite knowing from their intel channel that I was at most 2 jumps away and likely on the other side of the gate they were trying to get through (I was).

Also killed a semi faction/deadspace fit Maelstrom that I was camping in station. It undocked and started to align as I locked it up (I noted the gate it was attempting to align to), then decided to redock when it realised I was there. I left through the gate it was trying to align to and waited. Literally 2 minutes later he jumps through. Amuses you but also makes you shake your head...

Flying my first(barely and badly fit) battleship around "collecting" fittings during a wardec and then aggroing on a gate thinking i could jump through if things go bad. Oh the old days....

How did you shoot it without ammo? Curious minds, and all that...

Flying a Falcon on an alt and not noticing the rats on the gate are Incursion-rats and not normal rats, thereby not caring much and paying attention to main char, followed by blown up Falcon.

moving a freighter full of plex and bpos would be the top ticket here.

Initially, many folks refused to believe that kill was real. It was, is, among perhaps the five dumbest deaths in EVE, evah.

Was doing solo pvp in some lowsec. Thought I might checkout the next system.
Encountered a Macki in a belt.
Warped on top of it, scramble, blasters.
Got killed by Concord.
What happened?
Just clicked the wrong gate and did not double check.

Sh*t happens P


Lol not sure if it was you or not, but had that happen a couple of months ago to me. Was happily mining away in my Mack when I turned away for q minute, turn back in time to see Concord blow someone up. I was like WTF, so asked the guy in local if he just shot me and he said "yeah, was just looking for a little pvp fun". Then about a minute later he comes back in local "ohh crap I'm in the wrong system thought this was low sec; need to go one more gate over".

To date that has been my only pew pew PvP encounter in EVE. Was good to see him shrug the loss off, laugh about it, and not let him discourage him to refit and try to find more fights.

Autopiloting through high sec space with -8 standings with the local faction in a pimped out tengu...so far, my worst.Oops

Return to high-sec. Went for a poo, and set ship on auto-pilot.....forgetting we were at war.

400mill poo that was.

If a fish weighs 1 Kilogram plus half its own weight, how much does it weigh? (It's not 1.5kg btw)

Logging in with a bunch of your characters, 6 x Stealth bombers, 1 x Navy Issue/fit Mega, 1 x Oneiros, 1 x Navy issue/fit Domi. Then testing the tank of your Worm Hole Domi while hammering it with the Mega and 6 bombers out front of a station. Repping your Dominix with the Oneiros then suddenly experiencing 3 billion isk Dominix supernova, looking through the tears in your eyes with your jaw on the floor and realizing you were repping the Megathron all along.

Had to cancel wormhole operations that day :(
