I'm going to set the bar on this one

I was moving some basic stuff when I got ganked, I didn't cry at the time as it was mostly minerals and the insurance covered most of it..

Then I looked at the kill mail and felt like stabbing my eyes

Some how I had mixed a Kronos and BPO in with the junk.

It's a toss up between Caldari BS 5 and losing my first Rattlesnake to rats.

The first, I forgot to update my clone and then tried to bubble a cap that had Muninn support.

The second, someone rang the door buzzer and I walked away from a LvL 4 without turning hardeners on.

It didn't take long to locate the tracking beacon, deep inside the quarters for sleepin' They thought they could get away Not today, it's not the way that this kid plays

A Harbinger

Firstly, because it was a Harbinger, and I'm never getting that stain off my killboard.

But mostly, because not only did I lose a mostly valueless battlecruiser, I also lost my pod... which due to me logging off in a rage after losing a ship a couple of days before (but not before jumpcloning in to my learning clone), and me jumping straight in to combat without stopping to check things, meant I lost a full set of +5's (yes, including a Charisma... don't ask, I was fairly new when I bought them), and Advanced Weapon Upgrades 5 because I was in an alpha-clone.

But my god, I was flying a Harbinger Oops

I also lost a hulk to rats

I warped when my armour hit 50% but when I loaded in the station I was in my pod.

Turned out my internet lagged and while I thought my hulk was warping it was my pod, my hulk was scrap at the belt

This makes me feel sad on so many levels... :(

BS V, the implants... but what I consider as the worst..... AWU V. I hated that skill. I still hate it. It took me two years to even start skilling it. Wow, I'd cry...

Oh, it gets funnier.

This happened the week before we all got reimbursed for our Learning Skillpoints. It cost me about 2/3rds of those reimbursed skillpoints to "buy back" AWU5. On one hand I didn't have to face re-skilling the damn thing, but on the other hand, it kinda felt like I didn't get a present at christmas.

A mael on lowsec gate, which I thought i fit for cloak mwd trick...but actaully fit afterburner instead.

Battle cruisers v because I lost alpha clone, not because I was podded but because I.....self destructed. Retained with 2 days to spare before the racial bc skill split.

A 1.2 bill isk tengu because I went back to a site pirates had scanned....to collect 400 missiles in a can I jettisoned.

A heron to wormholes rats on like my third day playing. A buzzard to wormholes rats on my third year playing, evidently not remembering anything about what happened before.

Undocking from jita in a hauler with pos fuel when I was still in faction warfare.

My first loss ever of my tutorial cormorant on the sisters of eve arc. I took a shortcut through lowsec to buy a skillbook. Lost all my newb **** that felt like everything at the time.

Although possibly the worst loss is what I could have achieved in real life with all the hours spent playing eve.

The loss of my megathron called Diplomatic Incident (dubbed the Delve Mega by most in the CFC), she was my longest serving Mega and beloved by many.

It's that sinking feeling when you realise what you've done. I once accidentally fit a 10mn MWD to a Scorpion (my excuse being, it was a meta one, and it was before they normalised the names for everything, so I had mixed up what size a Y-whatevertheywerecalled was), and there I was, with the rest of my fleet MWDing out of a Warp Bubble we were trapped in, while I was slowly drifting backwards into the guns of the other fleet.

Rokh, when my character was something like one month old. I could not replace this ship so easily as I can now. I was flying slightly more than I could afford.

I'm still relatively new, so just a Myrmidon with a Sisters Core Probe Launcher in a blob escalation. Luckily, I was two jumps away from Jita so it was quickly replaced.

I recovered the wreckage, but the Launcher didn't drop. It was about half the rest of the ship's value.

I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do?

In a well-fit (i think!) Rifter with +3 implants and AWU skillbook in the cargo hold (I don't even know why it was there. I must have moved it in there accidentally). I'm sure this is kiddie money stuff to most/all of you.

My killer was awesome and chatted with me for a while about things i could have done differently.
