17.7B ISK Fleet Crashes Out in J112829

A protracted fight in J112829 ended with a 17.7 billion ISK defeat for Middle Finger Enterprises, as Blue Loot Not Included emerged with the field and a hard-earned victory after more than five hours of combat. The clash cost 27 ships in total and left the wormhole system littered with wreckage from both sides.

THE LONG FIGHT

The engagement in J112829 stretched from the evening of 7 June deep into the early hours of 8 June, suggesting a battle that built and rebuilt itself over time rather than ending in one sudden blow. With 34 pilots committed and losses spread across both sides, the fight appears to have been a sustained contest for control of the system rather than a brief exchange.

THE PRESSURE BUILDS

Blue Loot Not Included and Middle Finger Enterprises each took damage, but the larger share of the destruction fell on Middle Finger Enterprises. The losses included two Naglfars, a Naglfar Fleet Issue, a Basilisk, a Nighthawk, Retribution, and Flycatcher hulls, a composition that points to a force that had real weight on grid and paid heavily for staying in the fight.

THE BREAK

The decisive moment came with the destruction of the J112829 battle itself, a 17.7 billion ISK result recorded against Middle Finger Enterprises and credited to Blue Loot Not Included. With 34 attackers contributing and the final blow attributed through WarBeacon, the data suggests Blue Loot Not Included managed to outlast and overwhelm their opponents rather than simply strike and leave.

THE COST

Middle Finger Enterprises accounted for roughly 14.0 billion ISK of the total losses, while Blue Loot Not Included also suffered more than 3.7 billion ISK in destruction. That both sides paid for the fight underlines how contested the encounter was, but the scale of the capital and support losses makes the outcome hard to mistake: this was an expensive defeat for one side and a meaningful win for the other.

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.
