I have a Abaddon for WH work thats been active in daily use for 6 months. I have a PVE Geddon thats been in HS/LS/WH and it was the first BS I bought I've had it 9 Months.

I lose Bestowers like they were free though. Can't seem to keep a Industrial in one piece very long Twisted.

Thankfully they are quite affordable.

Alt's Thanatos lived for over 2 years, and saw a huge amount of combat in that time, including a few of the largest capital fights to that date, and one that had at the time the largest number of caps destroyed in a single fight.
It made it through all of that barely getting put into hull once, maybe twice... then Bobby Atlas asked if he could borrow it, and it was dead 15 minutes later. Lol

Also still have my early 2006 vintage Celestis, my first cruiser, still with its original shield tanking pvp fit (yeah, don't ask) all completely vanilla T1 of course, cos thats how we rolled back then. Cool

I have a cormorant that I've had since I started playing in 2007, though it's sitting in Jita and hasn't been used since about a month after I started playing.

I also haven't lost an abaddon in quite a while (I'm now wildly looking for wood to knock on).

Had a Cyclone that saw three wars, even tanked a Moros + fleet and it was old enough that it was mostly a T1 fit, I just never got around to upgrading it. That would be 3-4 months.

I ran it through EFT and it gave me chills. Couldn't believe how I was throwing that old banger into battles. Shocked
Edit: I actually got an alliance medal for "Seppuku" and I think they have only given out two ever. /edit

Anyway, it got blown up when I took a rookie fleet PVPing, half stayed docked, not knowing what was going on and the rest shot at a frigate that they couldn't pin down (like going off chasing a butterfly) Meanwhile, I thought they were behind me and it was a 1 vs 1 against a T2 fit Sleipnir. What?

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Mission Domi which i had since i started which was in 2006, retired for a Navy Domi when they came out though. Navythron For about 2,5 years or so? I bought another one just for blowing it up again after they changed it to puke army green. Couldn't put myself to blowing up the original P
And Anshar, which has been in my posession for also about 1,5 years or so. maybe a bit less.

a drake with 2 large purger rigs.

that single ship has probably made me 50% of all the isk i've ever made in eve since 2006

i finally put it in the museum, and will never put it in danger again.

i also still have my first cyclone and my first slasher from wayback days.

I still have a half dozen frigate hulls with large rigs. So since before the rig change, however long ago that was.

I have a slicer named "Templar Dane's Amarr Navy Slicer" that is 5 years old. I remember buying it when this character was less than a month old, and parking it because it was crap.

Then there's the vengeance that I think I was using on my first solo battleship kill in december '06, though I am not totally sure.

I also have a nightmare that has been shooting red crosses since '07 or '08. While that may not sound impressive, it has spent most of it's life in all non-highsec space.

Had a dumb mission runner drake for about 4 months. PvP wise I've had one jaguar for about a month now. I think I'm going to have to go blow it up now that I acknowledged it. Lol
I go through t1 hulls like crazy pvping like everyone else I'm sure.

I still have my first shuttle. I use it to travel between my 3 main homes. So about 1 year.

Combat ship... well, I don't have a main combat ship. I fly what the mood is.

Be nice to perhaps have a manufactured date on a hull - and who made it - sure it would be easy to implement.

Hm, I probably still got that Merlin and cormorant, maybe even a bantham when I started eve. :-) over four years.

Most expensive ship I still got, is the charon. Hauled billions and billions of service. Two and half years old i think. Currently on stand by until we take back the station... One day!

Mr Epeens Velator.

Only ship I personally have ever owned and never lost it since day one. I've even undocked a few times in it \O/

I tend to allow T1 ships to die as their insurance expiry approaches. So none of them last longer than 12 weeks. T2: I have a falcon and a prowler with large rigs. Can't remember when I bought them.

TBH I don't value the hulls. I value what they can accomplish.
