Dunno, my first pvp gank experience started from me (with my 1st main)
My corp ('Men in Black') was in SA, but I was an empire dweller running missions. But one day I spotted a CA in a shuttle right at the station in Egbinger.I thought something like: 'Cool, this guy will be my first player kill. Egbinger is 0.0. No rules !'
So I shot him out of his shuttle ... a few seconds later the station sentries 'pwned' my Rupture, because Egbinger counts as Minmatar empire space, although it's 0.0. Guess this harmless guy in a shuttle won.
Next time I had the glorious idea to make my own bookmarks from Yulai to Stain instead of asking someone from the alliance. I sat in my slasher and tried to bookmark the first gate in 0.0 in HED-GP, but unfortunately some CA frig pilots had no interest to let me succeed. So I got podded right back to Yulai.
Next gank was, when I decided to live in Curse. I put all my mission loot, tech-1 ammo bpcs and stuff into a Iteron MK III and headed to Curse without Scout or Intel. I got shot out of my Iteron already in Utopia, but I still had my POD, so I continued deeper into Curse in my pod. I think in CL-85 or Vol-Mi I insta-jumped directly with my pod into Heikki's smartbomb megathron. Me back in Empire, but I enjoyed my new freedom without implants. Needless to say that I started another run to Curse on the same day.
That was maybe 14 months ago and since then I got ganked only 2 or 3 times with one of my chars, when I didn't want to pvp. So from day 2 in 0.0 until now pvp was mostly consentual for me: I was mostly killed, when I was up for pvp and prepaired to die anyway.
It needed a few beatings until I had learned my lesson, but I think I've learned it well at least.
edit:
Remember a single time in the beginning in 0.0 I got toasted in my ratting Raven by a S******dly frig gang. Was a rather expensive loss, arbalest launchers for 45 mil isk each or so. I was a bit shocked, but immediately bought a new one and went on with ratting.
Shortly afterwards I joined interceptor gangs myself and did the same to others. When I was involved in toasting the first ratting raven that was struggling for 2 minutes or so before it died, I really felt his pain, since I still had my own helpless battle in mind.
After that it became routine and fun. We have ganked quite a lot of lonely BS with our interceptor gangs those days. Fitted orbits greater 10km, with jamming stilettos or other ceptors with dampeners or tracking disruptors on board and cutting through a the defense of a BS really fast. Guess people call it ganking.

I don't remember the exact details, but I clearly remember the stream of thoughts during the occasion:
"Hmmm, this zero-dot-zero place isn't so bad. I haven't seen a soul in the last three jumps. Hang on, there's someone in this system, is he friend or foe? Dammit, how do you check that again, ok... right click... no, not there... hey, why is he flashing red? AH! Found it, standings... AAAAAHHHHH WHAT IS THAT NOISE? MY SHIELDS! WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!
Uh, why am I in a station?
Oh."

I went to a 0.4 system hunting rats in my shiny new rifter...i found out earlier that i could easily make a few hundred K an hour hunting rats in that system...which i proceeded to use my last hours profit in fitting and buying a pretty new rifter.
Warped in, and everything was fine. I warped into one belt, saw a few rats and popped them and gathered my well earned loot. Then i warped into the second belt, began to engage the rats, and out of nowhere, i see a caracel warp in, and in no time i was locked.
Here comes the sad part. No convo or ransom or anything (which i wouldnt expect for a 250k ship anyways) and half a second and 3 missles later, i was running away with my tail between my legs to a tech school nearby, greiving the loss of my pretty new rifter. He would have obliterated my pod too, if there wasnt 20+ stations in the system and the low intertia of the pod.

Hmm, yes.. the first time sure was a bit embarrassing. Or well, rather the Brutix fitting I used those days was. Shield booster... What can I say, it was my second week of playing Basically I was in a belt in 0.3, just attacking a rat cruiser, when I think 5 blinky red cruisers came and tried to ransom me. I thought pff they'll blow me up anyway if I pay. So didn't pay, and then pod travel to station ftw
Second time was in large part my own silliness too, got angry at a griefer Enyo who liked picking on newbies apparently. Needless to say, a second-week player in a badly fitted Brutix can't do much to an Enyo pilot who has played for two years
Well, luckily my fittings and "track record" have improved quite nicely since then Many a pirate has been killed, although of course I've been killed too. Die pirates die

Originally by: kieron I played an old alt on a secondary account, was going to start building him up. 2M skill points, npc corp for 10 months, flying an ibis into .3 space, didn't pay attention to local until after I was podded. Seems like the 'Die alt spy scum!' warning should have been heeded.
That was the first time I was podded.
You should have used the /heal command and pwned his ship in your ibis. :)
oh geeez, I been looking for the magic spell of healing, where oh where is it hiding...

Tail end of 2003 (or could be early 2004). Think I had a 'rax, and was ratting alone after a long solo mining session. Some guy appeared in local, said hi and was quiet after a short, decent exchange.
After a bit, he called out again "Help, I'm in trouble". Predictably, I warp into the belt he says and of course, no npc's, just this guy. I did check his sec status - pretty high. Didn't look like a pirate...
Anyhow, a gank ensued, complete with webbing, etc. I tried to fight back, and lost. Funny thing was, this guy was so apologetic - "I'm just starting out ratting. Didn't think that SOS trick would work!".

Back in summer 2004, I flew in a shuttle without instas from Domain to Querious, to participate in a mining op. I remember having to pay a docking fee at a BA station, buying a Bestower and setting off to haul.
I got traded some local instas. Even with my first time using instas, I managed to escape a pirate in an Exequror cruiser (WCS 4tw), only to get sniped and insta-popped by a gate spawn a few jumps away, with a cargo hold full of Bistot.
I flew back to the station in my pod, and bought a second Bestower. Then I undocked straight into 3 CA interceptors (they had only been out a week, then) and saw my shield, armour and hull disappear in one smooth peel, before a lag spike and waking up in a cloning facility in Empire.
Such excitement!
Looking back, the remarkable thing is, I never felt any bad feelings about being ganked twice. That's why I'm still here nearly two and a half years later, still doing the low sec thing and passing on that experience to others.

Edited by: Miri Tirzan on 14/10/2006 14:27:14 The first time I got podded was in the VA/NVA war years ago. Lost a Dom... was so lagged out that I was in a pod before I got the screen up and just saw my pod before I woke up back in Empire.

Originally by: Locke DieDrake He may or may not actually be a GM. But he is damn funny.
He's not. He just writes [GM]Dave as a hobby. Well, he does get paypal donations now, I imagine he makes at least a hundred or two hundred dollars a month off it (because of the FanPack)
He's also the maker of the [url=http://goblinsmithy.blogspot.com/]Goblin Smithy[/url] blog.
He's somewhat of a friend of mine, we've talked over e-mails, and I made the favicons for both blogs. Any ffxirs remember the name Feba? ^^

Edited by: gamarus on 14/10/2006 15:00:04 My first was a TunDragon Scorpion fittted with smartbombs in some lowsec gallente space. I was in a really pimped Crow (gist MWD, local nanos and t2 launchers) but not looking for any fights So I jump to the next gate, sorta spots a red flash as I decellerates and promptly hits the MWD - and see my shields melt followed by the concord message. I think wtf? why does concord fire at me? And my armor vapourises. Now the autolock has picked up the scorpion, just at my ship disappears - luckily i have enough inertia to end up outside the smartbomb range I warp around a couppel of stations before docking (having a bout of paranoia) and looking at the mail. The MWD, the nanos and 2 launchers went pop, so apart from the kill, there wasn't too much for mr. Tundragon.
I logged, and the next day i procided to my location, and picked up the BPO's and BPC's I had set out to collect... this time opting for the safe route

MY first time was in Mara when I was about 2wks old and ratting in my shiny new cormie - solo.
I got attacked by 2 pirates in merlins. Managed to damage one of them badly enough he had to warp away but his buddy scrammed and webbed me then proceeded to slowly suck my cap dry with his nos. Eventually the other guy came back and they finished me off. I think my heart rate throughout was above 200
Luckily for me they were "nice" pirates who offered to return my stuff and even sent me some ISK as compensation.

When I was one month old, I had a go at piracy in my Thorax. I ventured into 0.0, and attacked an 03 players typhoon. I thought it was a mining barge. :D -----------------------

Can't remember the first time I got podded, but the first time I was pirated was outside Stacmon... possibly in Ostingele.
Flew out a prophecy to do a mission and started getting sniped by a pest on the Stacmon gate.
Warped to station as his friends were in local...
...straight into two ravens. I just said "damn" in local as they ate my ship. Escaped with my pod back to Stacmon and headed off immediately to The Bleak Lands to become the 'hunter' instead of the 'hunted'.
Over a year on and I've never looked back. My thanks go out to Gogo Yubari and Hira'razhir for teaching me to become a pirate and to Crucifier and the others for showing me the way.

First time getting ganked by pirates... well I was in PF-346, shortly after release, when I ran into a m0o gate camp. I asked them in local if I could fraps the fight they were about to have with some other corps (who were living in Syndicate at the time) and they said sure. The fight began, I frapsed it, and right after that they podded me
The won the fight too, and I later stuck the fraps into Premiere and made my first EVE vid.

Oh wow. Probably about July 2003. Anyone remember the trade channel? Well I landed a deal for a Cu-Vapor Particle Bore (pre-miner II days) for 3.9 mil...a hell of a deal back then and a hell of a lot of money too back in the day. My seller was located in 0.0 and couldn't deliver until later that day. Me, being the roid humping person I was at the time couldn't wait. So I offered to pick it up in 0.0. Well that was my first trip to 0.0 and I think I made it 3 jumps before I saw my first battleship. Poof.

Edited by: M4sterm1nd on 15/10/2006 07:37:09 First time I got popped was by the training drone actually.... Didn't know I had to stick ammo in the ibis's gun, and panicked at the sight of red appearing on my shield bar. Tried to impulse away from it >.< D'OH! I joined my first corp, Baltic Academy (SE) mere minutes after finishing the training, and was in torrinos not half an hour after that. We headed to EC.... POP! Megathron 1, Ibis 0. "WTF just happened??" POP! Megathron 2, Pod 0. "Hey how did I get back in the station?" My first lossmail! Items destroyed : 1 implant, the ammo and the ship. Can: 1 gatling gun 1 civvy miner.
But as for pirates.... never been there. never lost so much as a miner to em, I spent the first months or so thinking pirates were rats.
