2.9B ISK Loss Caps Six-Hour Clash in 46DP-O

A drawn-out fight in 46DP-O ended with a 2.9 billion ISK loss and a trail of wreckage that stretched across multiple pirate and battlecruiser hulls. The engagement involved 115 pilots over several hours, with Goonswarm Federation and Invidia Gloriae Comes among the attackers and WrongHole and Critical. Mass. taking the heaviest damage.

THE COLLISION

The battle in 46DP-O began on 22 June and did not fully burn out until the early hours of the next day, turning the system into the scene of a prolonged organised clash rather than a brief raid. By the end, 26 ships had been destroyed and the fight had settled into a clear cost for the defenders and their allies, even if the data suggests the engagement drew in multiple organisations on both sides.

THE HEAVIEST HIT

The most significant loss was the 2.9 billion ISK destruction tied to the 46DP-O engagement itself, with the damage attributed to the attacking side led by Goonswarm Federation and Invidia Gloriae Comes. That kind of value makes the loss stand out immediately: not for a single oversized flagship, but for the sheer weight of a battle that kept producing expensive wrecks long after the first exchange.

THE WRECKAGE

The ship breakdown shows the fight chewing through a broad spread of doctrine hulls. Ravens topped the list of losses at 26, followed by 15 Hecates, 13 Gilas, 9 Raven Navy Issues, 9 Drake Navy Issues, and 4 Flycatchers. That mix suggests a battle fought with real commitment, where both sides were willing to keep throwing combat hulls into the grinder as the situation developed.

WHAT IT SUGGESTS

With 115 participants and losses spread across several allied blocs, the action in 46DP-O appears to have been more than a passing skirmish. Even without a single capital casualty to define it, the scale and duration point to an engagement that mattered locally: a costly contest of presence, endurance, and patience in which one side ultimately absorbed the bigger bill.

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.
