Remembering My First PvP Death in EVE… January 6, 2012

It is hard to do, mainly because I wasn’t there when it happened.
In fact, I had totally forgotten about it until SynCaine linked the Battle Clinic kill mail readout for his first PvP kill in EVE. (And boy are there a lot of EVE kill boards out there. I need to look into how that works at some point.)
Looking at his kill and his history, I decided to see what turned up when my character name was typed in.
The kill side of the list showed all the things I hit during the POS shoot. That is all structures, no ships.
And then there were the losses, which included five ships and two pods.
- There was, of course, the Drake I lost just recently at a gate camp, my first null sec death, or so I thought.
- Then there was the Mammoth that got blown up hauling ore for a mission that went through a low sec system.
- And then the other Drake I lost to a pirate camp in Rancer when I refused to pay ransom, not actually having as much money as they were demanding. I got podded there as well.
- There was even the Caracal I lost trying to fight back against somebody who stole ore from my jet can. A hopeless fight, that.
Those four ships I remember. All four losses were documented here on the blog, as the links will attest. I try to share my failures, as they tend to be more instructive, or at least more entertaining, than success.
But there was a fifth ship and another pod there at the end of the list.
