I remember the last time I died. I was surprised.

- I lost a thorax while trying to rat in null sec
- I felt like I wanted to be the one blowing up other ships instead of rats
- I learned that PVP is a whole lot of fun :)

Heh - what's the story there? Looked like overkill somewhat even for the partied involved. :)

First ship loss was in the tutorial in which you are supposed to lose it. First PvP loss was on my way to my new corp station in Syndicate, in which I decided to try to auto pilot to see if I could make it. Hit a gate camp at the entry in to null, saw the bubble, hit hard left, and right into the campers. Boom, podded, and I woke up in my new home.

Whatever. Has happened many many more times since. Still ahead of the game in the fun:rage ratio :)

1st lost (PvE): In a Corm running a L2 mission still getting used to fitting and gameplay so my tank was burning up because of the rats, so I tell my ship to warp to station before I get into armor, I then go AFK for a minute and come back to find my Corm still in the mission pocket...with no armor...humping a roid. I then try to manually navigate around the roid to get a clear warp line, but I then go boom.

1st PvP loss: Ratting battleships and cruisers in my Corm in lowsec, finish off another BS, warp out, regen my shield, then warp to another belt. Then a Loki warps in so I take the time that I thought I would have to look up the ship to see if I want to engage or warp out. Then I see a flash behind the info window. RIP Corm Sad Stupid me thought that I got killed by an indy since I didn't understand that T3's don't have hardpoints.

1st intentional PvP loss: I hear about the fun of PvP so I outfit a crappy Atron and go into Low-sec (W/ the full expectation of dying) and start hunting. I see a Daredevil on D-scan at the gate, I check and see that it a frigate, np I think to my self. I warp to 100 and watch it MWD to me, I get ready, lock, then try and fire. I forgot to turn off the safety. I do that then I fire, only to be vaporized by the gate guns that I quickly learned about Shocked

My first 'PvP' involved a pve drake in lowsec and a few guys from Orphanage. I'll let you imagine the rest.

My first loss was an Imicus. I was baited by a cloaked Arazu in Clellinon. Think I wasn't even a day old and I definitly had no idea what happened to me. Some local veteran player explained what happened to me later that day, and that was the beginning of diving into the learning curve and a lot more things after that.

The biggest obstacle you'll encounter doing anything is yourself.

I was mining in a retriever a few jumps from dodi maybe a month into the game, some test alliance fella came in and ganked me :D I stopped mining after that cause he was apparently having more fun than me, started a new account and never looked back. \O/

I am just here to snuggle and do spy stuff.

Was to a can flipper in a new player area. He trolled me and told me to go back to wow. So I joined a corp, plexed my brains out and sent mercs to his "home station" in HS, and camped him for about 3 weeks.

My first loss was within my first week. I was in a Thorax, jumping into a lowsec system that happened to save me a few jumps to my destination. I loaded grid, saw a Hurricane, and thought "oh hell". If I hadn't have been such a dummy, I could have easily gatecrashed before he popped me, as he had no webs. Instead, I aligned for the station, turned on hardenders and my local rep, and figured I could burn out of point range before I exploded. Didn't quite work out that way.
