As promised, today I tell you a litte bit about the bad things EVE has to offer:
It’s gone, all gone! My hard earned money… I love faction-frigs. I have a profound ambition to collect them. I own two Firetails, a Hookbill, a Comet and two Dramiels. To keep the signature-radius small, the best MWD you can fit is a complex propulsion mod. So I looked for some B and C-Types and found some cheap contracts 10 jumps away from Jita. I logged in my alt, jumped into a Merlin and hit the road to get those shiny little gadgets. Everything went fine. I got the contract, stuffed the items into my boot and had my hand already on the launch button. Wait. I could refit the Merlin for using it as a scout in my fav low-sec system. Ok, so let’s buy an improved cloaking device and an Overdrive Injector to make it faster. As I was in a hurry I searched for the items at the station, bought them and attached both to my Merlin. I again hit the highway to Oimmo and decided to take a little break in Jita to get a hold of some other items.
When I looked at my wallet, a flash struck me. I spent 1.4 Billion ISK recently!!!! But for what? 700 Mio. for each item I fit on the Merlin. This must be the most expensive T1 frig in the whole universe. Nice one guys! As the system wasn’t very populated, those ***** put several mods on the market at insanely high prices. Well my fellow capsuleers, his happens if you hurry and don’t pay attention to the amount of zeros. Be warned by my mistake. This loss still affects me today. I had to sell my Rattlesnake and Providence to be able to buy 2 large towers plus mods + fuel and Technetium for a Fullerides reaction in 0.0. Wouldn’t have happened if I still had the 1.4 Billion.
The usual deaths. As I told you, my trustworthy Tempest survived the whole Pure Blind campaign. Returning to Tribute we got attacked by a White Noise battleship gang. To make a long story short: We were positioned on the gate at zero, the hostiles jumped in, I got primaried and the Pest was history in 5 seconds. Actually i made a bad decision. I was aligned to the sun, when our Sabres bubbled the gate. I should have either been at zero on the gate to jump through when getting primaried (not having aggro) or mwding out of the bubble BEFORE the hostiles jumped in.
The most stupid death was me sitting on a gate at zero with my Claw, not paying attention to what happens around me. The enemy bomber uncloaked, dropped the bomb and seconds later I sat in my pod. NOOOOOOOB!
These are just a few examples of those moments where you have to scream into your pillows. I guess everyone knows them. I would love to hear your worst moment in EVE. Write a comment and let us all participate in your agony.

Mercifully few so far. Like you, caught by the pricing scam. A shuttle bought, when I was a nooblet with barely 20 million to my name, for about 8 million.
My first death, undocking on wartarget in domi in a blackbird, fully expecting I could lock and ecm him before he could lock and kill me. (not the case)
A recent death, when we were waiting cov cyno into a system. We were sitting outside the pos for some odd reason. The targets we were hunting scouted us and dropped a disco suicider onto us. 8 stealth bombers gone in an instant.
