Ouch [Story]

Sooo's, started training for caps recently. Got some help from FREEE (not 100%, I didnt think full reimbursement for cap skills was right, thanks Mav) on paying for the biggies, Cap Ships and Gallente Carrier.

Bought Cap Ships and started tooling away. Sometime monday, I go to purchase gallente carrier and train it, it wont let me. Doh! Cap Ships was only at lvl2, damn long skill trains made me think it was at 3.

So I put the skill in my shuttle's cargohold and head to Sobaseki to pick up an Enyo. I continue studying for the bar while Im autopiloting, not paying attn to anything. I get to Sobaseki and enter my Enyo and undock.

WAIT! Didnt I have a 450million skillbook in the cargohold of my shuttle!!!

Oh piss shit! I did it again, I trashed my shuttle with something valuable in it (was a rig and implant the last two times a few years ago)

I start beating myself up, fly down to my domi to double check that I didnt transfer it there somehow, nothing.

I file a petition and make a suggestion in Features and Idea's forum to change what happens to items in holds of trashed ships. I get about as much sympathy with the sob story as you'd get anywhere on the net.


Tuesday rolls around and I read my petition's response (less than a day turnaround too, not bad):

WTF??? I must have continued my AP without realizing it somehow after the shit got popped! Well, I feel a bit better for not being a complete dumbass, just a partial for AP'ing with something like that in the hold.


Moral of story: Fuck Empire AP'ing!

I sent a VERY nasty message in the form of a poem that describes how he sucks off little children. May get a suspension for it

:heart:

cost of 20 CN CC missles, 4,000 isk.

4 hours camping gates popping shuttles, girlfriend.

killing the one shuttle you decided not to let go tonight, priceless.

(Not really priceless, cheapest i can find is
EVE-Central - Gallente Carrier - Market Browser - Quick Look At Item)

Heres my dumbest thing i ever did story.

This was when i was in Sylph. We were trolling around y-mp, having some fun, looking for shadow spawn. This was around the time

we were kicking UK out, so we had very little intell going towards the kari pipe(roughly 8 jumps out).

Well my friend was in a domi, warping to different belts, then we would moved on.

We got done with y-mp, jumped through the gate to about 4 goons in cruisers and below.

We think, hell we can take them! What can go wrong. Why yes i'll have another screw driver, 1 more cant hurt.

Goons being goons, 20 more start jumping in. At this point my myrmidon is at a planet. Quick align and warp saved my ass barely.

I hear "Oh i'm tanking them fine, its their friends i'm worried about!"

Well i'm in a drone boat right? Little did i remember, i had yet to learn the lesson that you never carry only heavies and nothing else.

So i warp in, slap heavies on them, and realize that while he can tank them, for now, i sure as hell cant.

I kill 1 of their frigates. lose my myrmidon. Man was i drunk.

So did you trash your shuttle with the skill, or did you lose it to a bomber? I'm a bit confused here.

He got suicided by a bomber in high sec.

Update:

We're now sharing space/allied/purchased-space with the Pandemic Legion-Illuminati. corp that my their lives in.

Awesome. Wonder if I can claim a weapon malfunction in combat.

Eww are you in fountain?
Good luck warming the moons for bob.

Probably. But for the time being they're busy in the North, I don't expect them to return any time soon.
