100.7B ISK Battle Ends in Heavy Losses in 2ID-87

A major clash in 2ID-87 has left 226 ships destroyed and more than 100.7 billion ISK burned away, with both sides taking meaningful punishment as a 294-pilot engagement dragged on across the system.

THE CLASH

The fighting in 2ID-87 appears to have escalated into a major battle, with Brotherhood of Spacers and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku, alongside others, facing HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx and allied pilots in a prolonged engagement. The scale alone suggests neither side was prepared to simply break and run. Instead, the system became the site of a sustained exchange that ended only after the wreckage had mounted into the hundreds.

THE HEAVY HITS

The ship losses point to a fight that did not spare expensive hulls. Among the wrecks were an Apocalypse Navy Issue, a Nightmare, a Oneiros, a Typhoon, a Scorpion and a Slasher, a spread that suggests the battle reached across both capital-value firepower and lighter support. Those losses indicate the engagement was not just about raw numbers, but about keeping key ships alive long enough to keep pressure on the field.

THE BREAK

The most costly destruction was tied to HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx and others, who account for the overwhelming share of the ISK lost in the battle. Brotherhood of Spacers and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku and their allies appear to have inflicted the more expensive damage in the end, with the final blow credited to WarBeacon. The result was a lopsided financial outcome even in a fight where both sides were hit hard.

THE AFTERMATH

With 294 participants and losses spread across multiple ship classes, the battle in 2ID-87 stands as a sizeable regional engagement rather than a routine skirmish. For one side, the cost was severe enough to register as a major material setback; for the other, the fight demonstrated that even a costly victory in New Eden can leave the field littered with wrecks and the future less certain than the price tag alone suggests.

Big Vantus Paid 15 Ships Toward Pochven's 72 Billion ISK Tab

Of the 47 ships destroyed in Ignebaener, 46 were, in ISK terms, background noise. The 47th was a Paladin valued at just under 57.5 billion ISK - close to four-fifths of everything the system destroyed in one sitting. One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.

Brave Newbies Lost 21 Ships in 4-07MU and Shot Back With Interest

Somewhere around 19:25 UTC, a Caracal Navy Issue died in 4-07MU and 912 pilots decided that was a reasonable invitation. Two hours later the system had produced 200 wrecks, 67.2 billion ISK of damage, and not one capital ship - just battleship after battleship feeding itself into a fight that refused to end. The killboards call it a gank. The killboards are only half right.

Solyaris Chtonium Killed Redux.'s Avatar as 1,166 Pilots Watched

The last thing an Avatar expects to be doing is dying in lowsec, but Amamake has been ruining plans for a very long time. Redux.'s Amarr Titan - one of the largest and most expensive warships in New Eden - came apart in the Heimatar system with roughly 1,166 pilots involved in the kill, and a price tag of 142.7 billion ISK attached to a single loss.

Warlock Industries Alliance Lost 52 Billion ISK. It Wasn't Even a Capital.

Fifty-two point nine billion ISK, gone. One killmail. Eight hundred and forty-seven pilots on the record. Amamake has swallowed fleets, capitals, and more than a few alliances' sense of direction over the years. It has rarely swallowed 52.9 billion ISK in a single ship that was not even a capital. The victim was the Sarathiel, flying under the banner of Warlock Industries Alliance. The credited killer was Minmatar Fleet Associates. And every one of those 847 names belongs to the same kill.
