EVE General Discussion

So, something happened that got me thinking... I just got invited to a duel by an Incursus pilot, I was flying a Maulus. Since I'm looking for PVP'ers for my corp, and want to see what people are made of who are willing to PVP, I accepted blindly, win or lose, and went for it. It's arty fit, with duel damps, so I started with a pair of Hob IIs in a 15km orbit with warp disruptor and full micro going, got him into armour with drones (beyond falloff for arty) and discovered he had an active tank, so I decided to stay at range with both damps going with range damping scripts, making him unable to target me (he could still target my drones though)...

And was in the middle of thinking about how I was going to beat an active tanked Incursus with my piddly 64dps and only 1313ehp when he docked up.

And accused me of cheating.

Meanwhile, I'm warping off to the insta that I have 200km off the station, on-grid, due to having a limited engagement and not being able to dock and wondering why someone that is tanking the combined damage of 2 combat drones withdraws from the fight.

Turned out, the guy decided to invite me to duel with an active-tanked Incursus with no prop mod, and when he discovered that he would never be able to get me in blaster range, told me I was cheating, I was a coward, I had no balls, and I'm not a fair player.

I was so incredibly amused, I warped to my insta dock right on the undock of the station and invited him to fight me at zero, which he did, and scrammed me so my MWD was out and took me to half armour. I will admit here that for a brief moment, watching him strip my shields and armour so quickly, I was a little nervous and felt a bit foolish for giving him any rope at all. Meanwhile, though, I had an opportunity to test overloading my arty on him at close range and discovered that his active tank couldn't handle it very well. Eventually, my still faster 577 m/s without MWD took me out off scram range and it was back to damping while I tried to keep him inside falloff to do as much damage as possible, and he docked again, spewing the same routine he had above....

I left the system laughing, telling him where I'd be if he ever wants to try again. Thing is, it got me thinking... I wonder how much this happens to more experienced PVP'ers than myself.


What's the most amusing 'PVP' experience you've ever had where your enemy has been... let's be generous and say 'less than sporting'?

I like long stories, but while that's an incredibly amusing kill, I'm kinda more curious about the attitude of the player you killed.

Also, I realise the censored word isn't 'story' but imma pretend it is.

I dont shittalk my preys so no attitude at all.
But the comments from his alliance mates on the killboard were hilarious.

Way back.

Flying a rifter in 0.0, came across a pirate in a kestrel. He 'graciously' accepted the fight, at which point i killed him without ever getting into armor.

He then starts a very strange explanation about how i should pay him 15m for protection money (when that was still a lot), how i wouldn't have to be afraid of him attacking me again.

I didn't pay and i'm fairly sure he quit playing the next month >_>

A corpmate of mine was messing about in an ice belt, politely bumping things with a slasher due to a lack of targets in the surrounding wormholes and low sec. At some point, he annoys a hurricane pilot to the point that the hurricane invites him to a duel. The two start fighting, applying neuts as best they can, until the cane's modules turn off. Turns out he's shield got and capped himself out. In addition, a cane with no webs and 425 mm AC will never hit a slasher unless the slasher moves to low transversal.

No dice there. It takes about 45 minutes but that cane dies a long embarrassing death to a slasher.

He should have shot your drones. He is bad.

I love people that cry cheating when your gimmick out-gimmicks their gimmick.

Generally people's fragile ego can't handle taking responsibility for their own losses and mistakes, so rather than have to admit you out played him morons find it more soothing to blame outside sources they have no control over. ie; cheating.

Not me, but funny s hell.
