So the corp i had just joined wanted to give me a Drake so i could help do mission and some PvP in a better ship than the cruiser I was currently flying; but I said no! I was in love with the Ferox (the baddest looking ship around) and I wanted one. Could not afford one until some nice lady was doing a "free isk give away" (think it was in the danish channel). Manage to get a whole 50 mill isk - the most I had ever owned. Bought my first Ferox, fitted it the best I could with rigs and heavy missiles (hadn't trained any gunnery skill at the time and didn't understand heck of how to fit a ship anyway) and was very proud with my new toy.

After bragging on TS about it, someone ask if i wanted to do a mission with him and I gladly said yes. Went into the mission room where he was calling targets. When i saw the target call in the overview, I moved my mouse over it so i could luck the target. Pressed F1 and got a weird massage on screen, saying: do you want to proceed with this dangerous action?. I was like ??? Hmm... Much be something to do with the mission so I clicked "Yes".
For some reason Concord don't like players shooting other players wrecks. To this day I still don't understand why not.
Anyway, I loved every 15 minutes I had it.

Should have learned from the bad omen, but in the next 4 - 5 month I lost 3 other Ferox's in ways, just as stupid. After that i bought a Drake.
Still love the Ferox though and after this new BC changes I might just give it another chance one day but...



In the first days of playing Eve, I warped to a gate only to land right next to the biggest and badass looking ship i had ever seen. As it was slowly flying toward the gate it looked so impressive with all its small windows and blinking lights. For some reason i had a desire to shoot at it but something held me back. It was so big compared to my little frigate that I just knew i wouldn't stand a chance. That thing would melt everything in the game. "One day I'll be flying one of those" I said to myself. I marveled at its fitting name. It was called an Obelisk.

Losing a 5b tendu to shooting a NPC trader outside a station. Then seeing around 2b of loot being scooped and nothing I could do, no docking due to aggression.

Can't say i have one that i consider the biggest, I think of all of them as lessons learned and never forgotten

Weeks if not days into my first battleship in EVE ever, a Rokh, fully T1 fittied i engaged a rifter at close range to help some corp mates who got can flpped.

Fitting my Hulk with T2 cargo rigs only to have CCP completely overhaul the way mining barges carry ore. 265 million ISK down the toilet.

Training up for Heavy Assault Cruisers.....as Caldari.

Opening a trade in Jita

Taking EVE online too seriously.
