EVE General Discussion

killed a freighter full of long-limb roes once, pretty cool 700mil drop

also got a few kills of some rather shiny fit ships, mostly golems/cnrs off memory

sadly I don't have any really cool losses. Although one that sticks out was the time I burnt out all but 3 of my guns as I killed the last ship and then stayed on field to loot (in hindsight it was a pretty stupid move, especially in an abaddon) till one of them came back and tackled me and I died a slow death.

I once lost a wreathe hauling trash. Literally.

34 billion ISK freighter we knocked out around this time last week in a Miniluv rage ping in concert with the illustrious knights of CODE. was extremely satisfying.

But there are ever so many ways to measure the notable kills.
A couple weeks ago I was in an interceptor, shortly after GSF's recon-in-force to a section of Pure Blind. Titans were deployed to grid during a POS bash, and MOA was sending wave after wave of dictors to keep them locked down. Intel was dark. For all we knew, Pandemic Legion and any number of other honorable third parties could be getting ready to drop. I was in a Harpy fleet and we hadn't had very many targets during this op up to that point, but we were the ones left on grid with the titans, and it was up to us to defend them until the other DPS fleets could double back to our location. Dictor after dictor we knocked down, and we drove off not one but two waves of MOA Cerberus gangs. The bubbles eventually dropped and the titans were moved to safety. Outstanding kills that evening in that fight.

I could go on with any number of other great PvP incidents but I'll stop there.

Well no, there was that one time many years ago when Royal Hiigaran Navy had gone pirate. We had a standoff with a positive sec status roaming gang (possibly an FW group but I don't remember if FW was a thing yet.) I was in a Cerberus. We didn't want to compromise ourselves by firing first, but decided to do it anyway. We were way outgunned but we took town a five billion ISK RNI (with me as top damage and final blow) when five billion ISK was worth a lot more than it is today. We got convoed by the guy's gang leader afterward asking for a copy of the killmail (which in those days was an actual mail) because apparently nobody in the RNI's gang knew he was flying with all that bling until he raged in gang chat about it. None of our gang died. I think the RNI was the only casualty on the other side. It was the little details like the convo and the almost minute-long standoff at the gate prior to engagement that made it memorable. That's my go-to story for this topic usually.

Was that before or after you lost your face?

4b ISK Paladin https://zkillboard.com/kill/46720291/.

Me and Javeeik were coming home from a successful little roam and about to go to bed. I decided on one last sweep around the low sec triangle for any ratters and noticed a Paladin out. Narrowed him down to a besieged site and tackled him with a Deimos and a Svipul.

We held him for ages but could not break him and we had to tag team several times to go buy more cap boosters to keep our tanks running. Eventually we rustled up some extra DPS from whatever nearby systems we could and he finally went down.
