That's not frustrating, that's mandatory...
Mine was in EVE Online about 2 years ago, my corporation just managed to narrowly escape the fall of our old alliance in a massive war and joined another alliance in the hope of getting a more profitable and less enemy-dreadnought-fleet-behind-every-asteroid sort of existence. Now, this was before every major alliance had access to multiple Jump Portals Generators and the only Titans that existed were so rare and expensive that you never actually saw any of them doing anything useful, so everyone had to haul their own stuff across the ~40 jumps required to get to the Alliance's space (Except whatever was carried by available carriers).
We were just about to arrange a move when our new alliance fell into a major war (Those seemed to follow my corporations wherever it went), and the whole thing got completely messed up. So I took my rather expensive battleship (When those things actually were expensive), fit it with warp core stabilizers just to make sure I have some chance to escape if they found me and waited for Alliance chat to say the route is clear. Unfortunately just when I was clearing the most dangerous area a group of 2 enemy Heavy Assault Cruisers decided to come in and tear my expensive battleship (My most valuable possession) apart (Of course the warp core stabilizers failed to save me). I managed to reach Alliance space 3 hours later in a shuttle, but without any useful property and not much money, and I couldn't do anything for quite some time considering deep space is rather dangerous unless you have a big ship...
This, normally, would be rather depressing if you couldn't pay for a new ship, but it was even more depressing considering one of the people who killed me was a former member of the corporation I was in and who I knew quite well. I vowed vengeance, but I never got it.
