During one of my Jita fishing sessions I warped to the Jita star and found a guy there. He didn’t warp out so I thought I’ll try one of my tricks and see if it works. I’ve ejected a jetcan then locked him. Once he locked me back I’ve selected and locked my container and renamed the container to:
"You! ."
And the moment I hit enter to confirm the new container name I’ve also activated my warp scrambler. The scram landed and the combat notification popped up:
"Warp scramble attempt from Anne Pollard to You!"
Then a moment later:
"...criminals are not welcome here. Leave now or be destroyed."
I’ve scrammed him to get on the well deserved CONCORD assisted solo killmail then just sat back to watch the fireworks as CONCORD destroyed his ship. Once they’ve finished I’ve locked his capsule and podded him. Then grabbed his corpse and loot. Finally I’ve completed a job well done by salvaging his wreck.
I love this ship.
This ship has the minimum performance to fight.
It’s good enough to take on cruisers.
She can beat a BC if she’s lucky.
I didn’t think we could beat a T3 cruiser
But I was wrong.
This ship has a serious flaw.
No matter how many enemies you kill, you don’t get a kill mark!
And you are not allowed to participate in AT!
But I will stay this ship.
I will continue to surprise people with this ship!
January 12th, YC125, somewhere in the Minmatar FwF warzone…
Kalo en Chasteaux is on his usual patrol, hunting down Amarrian loyalists and mercenaries under the wing of his fleet commander, Stickymicky. It’s a calm night; pilots chat idly on comms, exchanging stories and banter, when suddenly Commander Rust’s voice cuts through. “He’s here,” Rust announces. “You guys wanna catch a Hydra?” Instantly, everyone snaps to attention.
For almost a year, Rust has studied the patterns of Grease Payn, a formidable pilot and Alliance Tournament regular. He knows that around this hour in the U.S. time zone, Grease takes his prized AT ship for a spin around the warzone, picking off lone pilots in FwF complexes, rumoured to have over 250 killmarks. But he is elusive and hard to predict.
Tonight, Rust however feels his long-thought ambush is finally ready to spring. His plan is simple yet cunning: lure Grease into a complex with a juicy Federation Navy Comet while several others remain cloaked in wait. Once Grease is caught by the bait, the rest will immediately close in for the kill. It sounds straightforward, but it has to be executed flawlessly.
We regroup at the Amamake Keepstar, where Rust hands-out the pre-fitted ships he’s prepared for this one-time opportunity. The fleet heads to Kourmonen, where we find an ideal small FwF complex. Stickymicky, our natural bait, enters first, followed by Kalo who cloaks outside the 30km perimeter. Rust and the rest wait outside, cloaked, and ready to strike if Grease takes the bait.
The waiting is agonizing. After what seems like forever, Grease finally appears in the local channel. Will he bite? Or just move on—or log off for the night? The seconds drag on until Rust’s voice breaks the tension. “He’s outside!” Grease, oblivious to the trap, moves in to engage Stickymicky, who immediately scrams him back. Kalo decloaks, overheating his MWD to secure secondary tackle. A moment later, Rust and the rest of the fleet warp in. The plan goes off perfectly, and the Hydra is ours.
I want to thank Commander Rust, Stickymicky, and the rest of the fleet for making this one of my most thrilling moments in EVE. And special thanks to Grease Payn for being a true sportsman about it. You can read more about it in this Reddit thread
Alright here’s my funny killmail story.
I am a member of TACF., a corporation in Horde that notably has too many capitals and not enough people who will fly a subcap. I’ve been with this same group for about 3 years and regularly shitpost with people in there.
So anyway, around when the pirate faction warfare launched, I left to go do that content with a buddy of mine but of course I promised to be back to shoot at my old corpies. So one day I roam back into horde space, make my way to TACF. space, and look for ishtars to kill. My corporation, being a bunch of FIlthy Crabs naturally docked up as soon as they saw a neut in local. So I started bashing the warp disrupt bubbles to force an engagement. And who comes out but the CEO, Andrew689 in a silly kitey garmur (and a Kronos). So I’m Multiboxing to my hearts content with a svipul and a claw (glorious pvp ship the claw) and notice the garmur warped to the ESS. I warp myself there at 100km, land directly on top of the man and Explode Him:
But that’s not the funny part. I scooped all of his stuff and put it on contract back to him at Jita Buy in an astrahaus, also while in TACF. public comms giggling about it. For some reason he did not accept the contract.
Hope that gave someone a giggle, I think ganking your old CEO is funny.
(P.S.) I joined back with TACF. later and part of the agreement was he would accept the contract.
You misunderstood what the Player requests&suggestions is for. It is not for developers to get inspiration how to improve the game. Its only purpose is for players to entertain themselves and to get their frustration or excitement from the game off them.
So in the killmail do we have to be the killer or can we be the killee?
First of all, I lay no claim to being a PvP player… In fact as a cloaky explorer / mission runner the type of PvP that I do is Hide & Seek, meaning I hide while they seek…
Anyway, back in 2010 in a Career Agent system I saw a jetcan next to the station titled ‘Free Loot’… I looked to see who the owner was and his name was getmeifucan…
I opened convo with him and said that he shouldn’t name the can ‘Free Loot’… He told me he can name it whatever he wanted so I said ok and closed convo with him… After checking his character info I saw he was a newbie who had just recently started playing… I figured he wouldn’t attack me since I had about 2 years training in my T2 fit T1 Rifter Frigate so I took the measly loot from the jetcan.
Next thing I know he’s orbiting and firing on me in his Rookie Reaper ship… I couldn’t believe it… He was barely scratching my shields so I didn’t move and just posted in Local chat ‘Are you crazy?’
His only answer was ‘getmeifucan’…
Needless to say I then open fired on him and within seconds his ship was destroyed, leaving him floating there in his pod outside the station…
I then posted in Local chat ‘Well I got you, lol’…
Next thing I know his pod warps off and his name disappears from Local chat…
As far as I know he never logged back in after that… Needless to say I felt bad about it and to the best of my knowledge the only record of his existence is this killmail…
@ GM Banquet
Are we limited to one story? One killmail? A whole night’s roam worth of Killmails?
One killmail per story or several?
Maybe should have asked first… I need to edit my entry accordingly.
… or add some more!
Brave has a yearly “Pirate Day” tradition, where we declare our staging system NPSI over 300km away from the structures. After having fought on the sun grid all day, I had flown around in smaller more agile ships: tornados and jackdaws, in order to fight a larger fleet, and also avoid Sgt Matthew in his Azariel, which was blap fit at the time, oneshotting many unlucky pilots.
As the day drew to a close, he reiterated the same thing he had said all day: the Azariel was going to die, and do he warped it to the keepstar grid and dared everyone to shoot it. I undocked a titan and a dread and got on the undock. As the Azariel got low, I figured it was now or never - I hit my doomsday, and after a longer than expected wait, was rewarded with the shiny kill and a kill mark on my titan to go with it.
Was a pretty crazy roam as you can here from the voice comms but we cornered a Vaga in HED-GP and slowly murdered him with a bunch of T1 Haulers and it was the funniest kill I have ever been involved in. A corp mate wanted to catch up with the fleet and jumped in while the fight was already underway, so ignore the ceptor on there. It was 100% revenge for all the haulers that was ever killed by the mean bully Vagabond.
I joined a group called Brand New Bros, eager to dive into the thrilling world of space battles. They quickly became my mentors, showing me the ropes and teaching me the art of solo play in my new favorite ship: a nimble little Thrasher.
I’d set up a small bubble, waiting patiently for unsuspecting targets to drift into my “net,” all while chatting with the guys on comms. One fateful day, I spotted an Enyo slipping through my trap. The guys warned me that I was outmatched, but I thought, “Why not? What’s the worst that could happen?”
The fight was fierce but swift. To my surprise, I emerged victorious! My heart raced as I linked the kill mail in our chat, and the guys erupted in cheers. It was an incredible rush! After dispatching the Enyo’s pod, I looted the wreck without a second thought.
Minutes later, while I was still basking in the glory of my triumph, one of the guys asked if the pod wreck was still on grid. I checked and replied, “Yeah, why?” He urged me to look at it again, and I nearly lost my cool. It turned out there was a crazy event happening, and implants were dropping from pods!
What started as a simple victory turned into an exhilarating quest. The guys scrambled to reach my location, eager to help me secure my newfound wealth. I felt like a pirate with treasure! Once we successfully stashed the loot, I spent every last ISK on buying more Thrashers. It was a wild adventure that I’ll never forget, and I was already itching for my next kill!
Note: The final haul was nearly two billion and funded me for quite a long time, It bought ALOT of thrashers. Not a bunch to some of you but was life changing for me at the time.
After 2 years living in J space I finally experienced my first eviction. I had gotten my big ticket items out while a couple of Wingspan guys talked a lot of trash in local chat. During one of these transfers a Flycatcher was bubbling our exit and me and my fellow WH buddies were debating if a certain Wingspan Tengu was present or not. I took a Hoarder out, loaded with my last low priority items, including a pair of Men’s Yoiul Stormchasers Pants. I started to chat with one of the Wingspan guys, and started to drop names and asking him if it was ok for to me exit since I was buddies with some of his former crew. He said yes and so I warped to the exit only to find that he raised the bubble again and his buddy in the Tengu got me. One of the items I dropped was the Men’s Yoiul Stormchasers Pants. Little did he know this was a reuse to reveal himself.
We confirmed that the Tengu was indeed in the system. Finally I was able to deliver something to Wingspan Delivery Services. A pair of pants.
My buddies then pounced on the Tengu.
The pants did not drop. In chat I said " My pants! You ruined them!". After that, there was no longer any trash talk in local from them.
