EVE General Discussion

Back when I was in FW the wormhole features were added to the game. I went into a wormhole with a few other ships and without my own probes (that was the last time going without probes BTW) and my only choice to get back into K-space was a wormhole that put be 26 jumps deep into enemy empire space.

In a Cyclone.

Lucky me I started playing before WTZ and had a lot of maneuvering skills. I survived the trip.

But yeah to the OP: first rule is "don't panic" it's just facpo. FW players and gankers get around them almost all of the time.



Here's a silly death for you: I died 15KM getting podded off a gate because WTZ was introduced while I was taking a break from the game and didn't know about it.

Yea I did that too... only with a freighter, had some weekend fun and my sec was -2.1 or something and lets just say the police in amarr didn't like it.

I've lost a few ships while running burner missions and trying to watch hockey. Anything else and I can play fine, but hockey makes me lose ships.

probably my dumbest pvp loss was when I was taking some potshots at a gang and was "aligned" out. well they warped on me and I clicked the button to warp out and either I was not aligned or I clicked the wrong bookmark.

Uhh... most of eve deaths are silly. Putting suicide attempts (drunk pvp) and blob fights aside, here are some of mine:

- Fell asleep on my keyboard and got hotdropped by a Sin. He convo me the next day and apologized. Apparently he was very bored and went 20 jumps just to drop on my t1 trash ship.
- Activated MJD in the last pocket of a 10/10. Got 1-shot by the torpedo and sat there for few minutes in a pod, rethinking my life
- Forgot jump fuel
- Warped to a random moon in a WH in a non-cloaky, using "salvage" tab, and proceeded to make coffee. Apparently the POS occupying the same grid was not very happy about it.
- Jumped into HS with criminal status. There was more idiots like me. We lost 1-2 bil to concord and maybe 50 mil to the enemy that day. I hate HS.
- Tackled someone in low sec in an interceptor, got very happy as we were chasing that guy for several jumps, and got blapped by sentry guns in 2 seconds.
- Started ratting in a Naga using some derpy fit I found on battleclinic. All was fine until I got webbed and some frigates got under my guns. It was a slow death.

For me, I've had three silly deaths due to goofing up.
One to a drifter battleship - should have used a passive targeter. (Why am I sitting in a pod?)
One in low, I thought I was D-Scanning... but I'd accidentally selected a chat box. (playing when tired)
One when I took on some sleepers without knowing what they were like.

I bombed myself with a stealth bomber before, sadly the system doesn't give you credit for killing yourself.

Why what a coincidence. Today, I decided to splurge a bit on a hookbill and put a dedspace ab on it. So how did it die? ******* lag causing me to not warp off, then the same hitching lag causing my afterburner to not activate, allowing the daredevil to leisurely slowboat up to me and just inject void rounds into my butthole.

The worst part was the daredevil pilot probably thinks he's elite or something because he caught me after about a half dozen attempts over the course of several hours to get me. ******* fuckitty ****.

Well that's out of my system. I'm so glad you made this thread.

Raz- "Thats bait"

Feyd- "no its not"

Me- "Thats absolutly bait"

Feyd- "Shut the fu-Gate fire!....point!"

Feyd- "Man this things kinda tanky"

*cyno ... 30+ local spike*

Feyd- "So that was bait"

Once I bought a mid-grade slave set. Thought it's gonna be ok - I did a lot of explo, and I never once lost my probes. Or maybe once. So I arrived home from Jita in a shiney new 'ceptor. 'Ceptor fleet is gathering, how cool - I only need to change a few things from travel-fit. Before the first jump I realize that I have my precious head with me. I make a mental note to be extra-risk averse, and to save my pod. Zero problem, I practiced this. I fight outside of bubbles, and the pod easily gets to a safe before anyone could lock it.

Yay I'm good. So I just sefl-destruct back to home. Who wants to do 6 jumps manually..

*rolling a cigarette*

"Fork, my precious head!" I was even reaching for the ABORT SELF DESTRUCT button when I lost my first set of implants.


Since then I only use cheap DPS augments if the FC is handing out sets.

Probably my worst loss was the time I fitted my maurader with massive tank and warped into a gank fleet on purpose ,surely no way they could pop my tank in bastion with crappy t1 ships ...

2bill lost 🤣

Lost a Primae the day they were given to players to an insta-point Heavy Dictor in low-sec when I forgot to adjust my autopilot settings to exclude low-sec systems.

EDIT: Also lost an Interbus Shuttle from waaaay back when there was a physical copy of Eve Online in Wal-mart, but I can't remember the details as to how.
