We should rephrase this to

  • Best Loss
  • How hard did you laugh
  • How hard did everyone else laugh
  • Did you enjoy it
  • Why not
  • Let us know when the first giggle slips out

Worst as in isk lost or embarrassing?

Both are the same for me though

Leeroy'd an incursion mach estimated at 1.4b (just a cheap one) into a HQ site, i went afk and came back to fc saying jump. I was a dumbass didnt check dscan or ask and jumped in to see only me. Tried to gtfo but didnt manage it. Felt like a complete tool. Replaced it within an hour though so meh. Spent more time getting to jita and back than anything. FC was kind enough to let me straight back into fleet when i returned.

Back when ET was younger I got a character given back to me that had quite a few more sp than I had at the time. I also found about a bil or two in a cargo can laying around. "Oh!! he flies legions!!"( I had never used t3s to this point) go out and buy one and fit it for some wh usage. What the hell I had the spare iskies. It goes boom. ****!!! Go back and buy another.

This time I use ET in a CS and my other toon in the legion in a C3. Hole collapses behind me and Im busy scanning for a new one and I get jumped. Both CS and legion go poof. ****!!! But now Im stuck in the hole with NO exit, it was literally the last sig to scan and that was what I was scanning at the time I got jumped. And seeing as I wanted to just daytrip it I was also in a LG crystal set and a set of +4s and hardwirings on my alt.

All told it was about 2bil that went pop as I suicided both toons to get out.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

So far, Armageddon navy issue killed by like 20 or so Drakes from out of point range.

All of it was made worse by the fact that it was bubbled, the only dictor on grid that had bubbled it was dead, I was aligned and so close to the edge of the bubble that my ejected pod was actually clear of the bubble and to top all that off the bubble expired before my pod finished warping off grid.

Reality has an almost infinite capacity to resist oversimplification.

If we're doing this then mine would probably have to be a Crusader that died trying to run through a bubble camp (when inties were not immune to such things). There were 37 people on the mail most of them battleships trying to kill just me and I survived long enough to get out of the bubble, managed to come unjammed by some miracle so I could lock to drive off the crow that was still pointing me and then died to a Curator II from a Megathron while aligning out.

I laughed pretty hard about getting away from so many neuts and webs before they could lock outran the light drones, their inty was either rocket fit or had horrible skills and got through all that taking only slight armor damage to be almost volleyed by a weapon that is often not even a consideration for a Crusader. I have no idea what they thought of it, 40 or so jumps from home, minus a ship with no implants I didn't even try to warp my pod out and just let myself take the pod express. Discussion was pretty minimal (as in none).

Probably a kill in the distant past where I thought hauling 2 Hulks in a T1 indy down to our station in Outer Passage was a good idea. What could go wrong? Big smile

Used to 'import' the mining ship bpo's from nullsec wayyyy back in the days.I just went there in a shuttle , bought for 10 B or more bpo's and flew back in a shuttle most of the times without a scout.Profits on those at the time was between 500 M to 1 B on each.

Needless to say i lost a handfull of bpo's along the way Blink .




Ow and i once forgot i had a few in my cargo so when i ap'd with what i thaught was an empty shuttle i was surprised i was ganked halfway the route.Upon inspecting the lossmail i smiled when i noticed the bpo's .

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

If we go by this, then This Would be the funniest thing to ever happen to me in eve. I have never laughed so hard after dying in any game. Just the shock and awe factor was great! I never saw it coming!

That awkward moment at the Gentlemen's Club when you see your sister on the stage....and you're not sure where to put the money....

My worst loss happened back 4/17/2006.

Firmus Ixion alliance was putting up an outpost in ED-L9T Bankrolled mainly by 2 corps of the alliance from contributions of players in those 2 corps (I had a few bil bankrolled) and even though a few bil isnt much by todays standards it was a bit of isk back in 2006.

There was a screw up in logistics that didnt get the egg filled before downtime so we were forced to guard it for 23 hrs until next downtime. Of course it was spotted and posted on forums and not long afterwards the party began.

In the end we lost the egg and sooooo many ships and while the lost stung a bit it made for some of the most enjoyable battles I have had in eve...... that was back when 0.0 was worth a damn.


p.s. Dotlan should be corrected that FIX put up the outpost in ED-L9T... it didnt happen that day but it happened a bit later.

I lost a Maelstrom on a gate in lowsec on the way to Asakai

I had to take a round-a-bout route because my security staus was in the tank at the time so I couldnt enter highsec without getting tackled by popo which would be even more embarrassing.

So some lowsec scrubs in frigates tackled me 2 jumps out from Asakai and slowly whittled me down. I cursed them for fools the whole time spending five minutes to kill my lone battleship when they could be next door getting on Titan kills Ugh

Losing a exploration frigate after warping directly to a Exploration site on a C6 and then proceeding to self destruct back to Hisec.
Losing a venture to sleepers while ninja harvesting cause I got tired of d-scanning.

I am such a cheap *******.

I have a bustard with T2 rigs and a 700mil ISK pod on someone's killboard...

That was in return for some 10k m3 or so of ore. It was not a good trade for me.

I lost a faction fit Cynabal in the fountain war. I was doing what I do and my girlfriend swished by in some lingerie, so I possed up real quick and got bumped out while I was paying attention to what is important in life.

Normally I'll approach/keep at range or orbit a pos to stop this from happening. But I was in a hurry.
