Hi everyone!
Just wanted to share my first podding experience.
I've been playing for like a week or so, almost two. My goal is to be a big time trader, you know selling smokes and what not. So I start to train my lil butt off and get a level 3 industrial and decide to start moving goods around to make some coin. I save up about 3 million or so and think to myself "THIS ISN'T ENOUGH! I NEED THE MOTHERLOAD OF TRADES!"
With that in mind I start scanning the goods available (smokes in particular). Being based out of Teosunude I'm relatively close to some low sec systems and notice some fairly cheap smokes about 5 hops in at a 0.0 system. WOOHOO!!! I can make like 15 ISK per unit if I buy'em all and sell them up here.
So I max my cargo cap, get 3 giant secure containers and hit the afterburner! I get about halfway to my pickup point when this nice guy convo's me and says "Hey! Pirates up ahead, watch out!" I'm like "Damnit! I'm just trying to make a living selling smokes!". He replies "Maybe you should wait abit".
Ok so I wait... and wait.. and wait some more. I check the map for kills in the last hour and it's relatively low now, like 1 or so. WOOT! time to keep going! I hit the afterburner and cruise down to my supplier and load up to the gills with those sweet sticks of fiery delight!!
Being heavily laden my ship feels like cold molassis going uphill in winter as I approach each gate on the way back to high sec saftey. I make it all the way to the last low sec system before I'm home free and about 8k from the jump spot.
BAM!
Looking out my back window I see like two red blobs and my ship starts to shake. I think to myself "Pirates need smokes too... maybe they'll ransom me and I can keep my stash"
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Three more shots and I'm sitting in my pod crying as I watch my cigs burn up. Oh well, maybe they are from the health department.
BAM! ~ My pod gets popped.
Yup definitely from the health department.
After refitting and working out how I'll rebuild my vast empire, I check my email to see that all my cans of smokes were destroyed.
WOOHOO!! At least they didn't get my smokes!

That my friend was an awesome story.
My first podding Experience wasn't nearly as interesting. I was traveling in my pimped out Punisher traveling from Tash-Murkon Prime to Ashokon (I Think) but I took the speedier low sec route. well my route took me through this .4 system which was the only one on the whole trip so I didn't really think anything of it. Soooo as I came through the gate BLAM! My pimped out punisher and my pod where turned to so many component atoms as the 1400mm arty shell hit it's target. I remeber looking at the screen thinking "damn that was different?" I told my buddy what had just happened and he told me to check my killmail and low and behold I was killed by a player named Cranberry Muffinman! OMG I never laughed so hard. I could not believe I had just been killed by someone with such a silly name it made the whole experience very funny. so I just bought a new not so pimped out Executioner and took a safer path to my destination.
This happened a month ago

I actually went chasing a -5.x pirate in his AF with my cara on a week old char. I pretty much deserved it.
