EVE General Discussion

I managed to get my covops decloaked popped and got podded. In highsec during a war. Wasn't paying attention. Really, a comatose had more situational awareness than me at that event. That's about the peak of stupid I have reached in EVE. Embarrassing really.

The other day I was flying in my carrier in nullsec using sentry drones to do anoms I aligned as I normally do to the POS so that if a neut comes into system I can warp to safely pretty quickly. A few min later I realized that I didn't stop after aligning and that I was over 20km away from my sentries. As my drones were now being attacked I decided that the best course of action was to dock up get a FAST ship to run in there and grab all of my sentries. So I quickly grab my newly fitted Executioner with tech 2 weapons and rigs and rushed back out to the anom. Completely forgetting the fact that there were still TONS of battleships still on the field...Couldn't warp away fast enough... It wasn't until later when I actually warped back in with my carrier to pick them back up that I realized that even if I wasn't being attacked I wouldn't have had enough cargospace to hold them all anyways.

Never even got to tackle anyone in that fine ship...

Week old nooblet got tired of the cans clogging up my overview. So I shot one. That is the day I learned of Concord.

TIL that shuttles are in fact the TARDIS

When I first tried eve in 2005/6 I had no clue. Knew nothing of ship fittings, so I got my rookie ship, mined some trit, shot some rookie rates and made myself 10k.

I was so happy, I saw this ship only 7k, really good speed... looked pretty cool.

So i bought it....

Who knew Gallente shuttles couldn't fit guns?

Around 2 weeks ago i sold a Mackinaw for 194,000isk. Doh!

Was used to flying Gallente ships for a long time. Maybe a year or more. Decided to try a Hookbill with a T2 light missile setup one night after coming home from a night out...somewhat drunk.

After a long time searching for targets and running plexes in FW, a Firetail finally warps into my plex.

I spent so much time waiting that I over-reacted and the "Gallente instincts" kicked in. Did I mention I was drunk? And I hate losing a tackle, so if a web is fit I get really tempted to use it.

Point, max speed, approach, web....*****!

I was warp scrambled, MWD disabled. Pretty much any turret out there could now track me. I could just sit there, dead in the water, watching the Firetail burn into his optimal and....pop goes the Hookbill. Oops, I was in a Hookbill, not a Gal ship with blasters...why did I hit approach?? OH THERE'S THE ORBIT BUTTON!

Got another beer.

Transported PLEX from Dodi to Jita in a shuttle. Because "high security".

(succeed, understood it was stupid ~1 year later)

I'm really bad about podding myself to get to a combat zone, jumping in a ship, and getting blown up & taking the pod express, then realizing I never updated my clone.

Recently I've bought a Rokh, fully fitted it, bought insurance....then turned around 5 minutes later and traded it to a friend so it can get moved to a deployment zone....all planned. I've also put insurance on little nagas and tornados and let my friends borrow them.

But my favorite is, and knowing I dabbled in faction warfare for months is key, is trying to do a bomb run on a razor tornado gang in Karan. Decloaking 30 k away, I began furiously spamming the launch button and angrily telling Aura to shut up....trying to disable safeties and after 5-10 seconds I had a large portion of the gang lock me up and redbox me. Thankfully they appeared to be sniper fit so I was relatively safe, even if they did have a huginn and malediction with them.....so I warped off.

Then in the aftermath I replayed what Aura was trying to tell me in my head and I realized you must not be allowed to launch bombs in low sec.

Lost my very first Stealth Bomber in a perfectly executed attack...in a high sec system I failed to notice I had entered during a low sec roam. Had my D-Scan covering my system info on the screen, so imagine my surprise to find a miner in a belt in what I thought was still low sec. Imagine his surprise when a lone Hound decloaked, locked him, fired one salvo before Concord blew it to smithereens. That guy is probably still laughing.

In my hurry to brawl during a Frig Fry in Anamake, I forgot that clones need updating after being podded.

I've fleet warped my whole gang out of a losing fight, right to a station, where the guns finished the job our enemy didn't.

Several times I've tried to warp to the sun to escape a fight, only to wonder why I wasn't engaging warp...because I was already fighting at the sun........

Got lazy (or just cocky) and tried to move a bunch of faction ammo and T2 modules in a regular PvP-fit destroyer. Hadn't seen a gate camp in a month, right until I had a cargo hold full of stuff- then of course I found two. I dodged one............

Lost my very first battleship, a Raven, in it's second ever L4 mission being lazy with drones and losing mine before the last scram frig was down.
