Hey, I can TOTALLY tank this entire room with a single repper. Even if I can't, I can always warp out, right?

I mean, it's not like missions have any warp scrambling rats or anything - CCP took all of those out YEARS ago.

Right?

Feel free to laugh at and mock me for my stupidity and misfortune.

EDIT: At least the faction repper and a faction heatsink survived...

Sure, same as my:

'My tengu can kill this stuff, there is no way they can break my passive tank, and I can dps anything down'

That was until I got into a mission that had these tinny fast frigs, and I could not kill no matter how many missiles I chugged at them, and I ended up being scrammed in a dead system until downtime, at which point I got back into the game in a pod, and less skills :P

Worst mistake for me is probably almost losing my Hulk in a mining mission because I forgot to deploy my drones while I went to grab a drink.

I came back as the .5 sec rat frigates slowly chewed through the last of my armor.

Cue shrieking like a small child as I deployed Hornet II's and tried to warp out. I lived with about 35% structure, I believe. I forgot rats warp to you outside of a belt.

Second worst mistake was putting all the skills into mining in the first place.

Oh, and way back when I was starting, tagging along with a frigate gang into nullsec, being warned about a gatecamp, and then flying right into it five minutes later anyway. That pod kill will forever taunt me on my Losses sheet.

Same thing almost happened to a caldari navy raven friend. Since he had drones out, they caught aggro and insta-popped while the scrambling frigates just locked him down. I had to go 25 jumps in less than 30 minutes with a caracal to save him. got there just as his shields failed Razz

Not me, but my buddy lost a faction fit Golem in The Blockade (Blood Raiders). He figured his last 20 missions were easy, and he didn't need to worry about checking what the triggers were. Killed the trigger in every group and was soon nos/neuted and scrammed.

Doesn't beat getting concorded in your full faction fit (including officer x-large shield booster) CNR with T2 rigs after accidently shooting a wreck belonging to your alt, who incidentally is in fleet with you but not in the same corp as you...

Total loss: 3 Billion. Damn I wish the wrecks belonging to other people in your fleet had different colours... yay for stupidity \o/

Last week we warped 3 Tengu class vessels into The Maze's last room to try and tank it.

Each ship was worth over 1.2 bil a piece.

We've learned our lesson and now don't tank that particular plex with Tengus any longer.

I can add :)

T2 aux nano pump rigged Paladin with officer tachs, X-type rep and several A-type eanms and officer heatsinks (Had to use the pg implant to fit the rep)


*Phonecall*


Short conversation later, returns to a pod and a wreck. Only stuff that survived was T2 Cap rechargers 1 salvager and one energized adaptive.

Happily tanking The Blockade for like, 100 minutes.. when I suddenly noticed some loud shrieking.
Hey!? Why do I have almost no cap left? Theres no frigs! Hey!! Why cant I warp, there is No Frigs! O wait, maybe I need to scroll up a bit...

yeah, 3 neuts/disruptors spawned right on top of me...out of sight in my scrolled down overview... Bye T2 fit Hype.

Doing anomolies lazy in the chimera is ideal.Only problem arises when your kid falls of the stairs.Rush there to see nothing bad and to come back with about 40 reds chewing my chimera.

Did i mention i had everything i had in 0.0 in the chimera including faction stuff because i was about to leave the area? Wink

Dead Dominix because of 'oh 10 webber frigates' well they only web right ... well no the effect after 3x web = being scrammed = -1 Dominix, gee thanks CCP for the lovely mechanic not working as intended. Rolling Eyes
the mission trigger were those same webber frigates and shooting one spawned several more ...
In the end my poor Dominix was fried and I had to buy & fit a new one and finish the mission after DT, this time without shooting the triggers and it was so easy I lolled. Embarassed

I have also lost plenty of ships because of 'this mission is easy, I don't need to check it from the net' and then I end up messing up the spawn and getting creamed.
