By being drunk, I reckon.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

Boredom? Boos? Complacency? Glitches?

Pick your poison, 'cause believe me at some point with enough PvE, each of those things will happen at least once, likely many times and sometimes even all at once. Then again, I think the OP is just bored him/herself.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

No friends you can trust to call or none online
And no ur not flying a lazor ship

Your tank and cap are stable and you can just tank the room so logging might get you killed. Your flying a faction fit bs this will not be a cheap loss. (just pretend your not mr moneybags in this scenario pls)

Call for help in local, can you trust them? Could be a savior or could be a juicy gank mail.
Take the loss and learn? Eject and hope ur ship doesn't explode or get stolen.

What would you do?

Mobile depot and MJD in your cargohold for backup if needed.

Nightmare scenario: you're 15 minutes into a roam when you realize you forgot to buy beer. What do you do?

If you are going to ask someone in local for help avoid chars with names like "death" or "skulls" or any other emo names or corp/alliance names. Try looking for names like glitter, cupcake, miner alt other names like that. Make sure they have a 5.0 sec status.

You have no idea how many Iamdeath, Pirateman, KingofPVP and the like that I see happily AFK mining.

Names mean nothing in this game. Except mine. No one else could do Mr Epeen better than me.

Actually from experiance the inverse is true,
People called " xXxDeathLordMcBloodDrinkerxXx37" or similarly named are infact fairly likley miners or bears of some discription,

Whereas realy realy disreputable people more often have more from the former chatagory the op mentioned if not entirely normal names.

Regardless,the name means absolutly nothing unless there is a reputation associated with it.

Its true though,
"XxXIDrinkBloodfromSkullzXxX" will probably be in a belt mining along side "MurderFace O' Stabby" with orcha boosts from behind a pos courtisy of "TheBabyShaker",
ive watch-listed and then tracked and/or hunted thousands and thousand of players (kb shows the ones i caught) and i would put good money on that,
"Mr Hug's" with a bio that reads "want a hug?" though?
that guys kb i would check.

This. Most standard PvE tactics also work for the majority of EVE "mobs". Including kiting Pirate.

I would let them kill me, I would deserve it for being so grossly unprepared.


PvP is preparation, being unprepared is just another form of being horribad...
