3.6B ISK Ship Lost in a Sudden Strike in ID 30000847

A valuable ID 28659-class ship was destroyed in a brief and brutal encounter in ID 30000847, with an unknown attacker landing the final blow in a fight that lasted only moments but carried a hefty 3.6B ISK price tag.

THE CATCH

The engagement was over as quickly as it began. In ID 30000847, a lone pilot flying an ID 28659 was caught and destroyed by an attacker operating under the banner of Unaligned attackers. With just two participants recorded, this was less a fleet clash than a sharp interception — the sort of encounter that leaves no room for recovery once the trap has closed.

THE PRIZE

The destroyed ship accounted for most of the 3.6B ISK total, with 2.9B ISK lost outright and another 621M ISK recovered as drops. The loss also carried a cargo and module story of its own: a sizeable quantity of one item survived the wreck, while several others were smashed to pieces in the blast. For the victim, the ship’s value alone made this a painful defeat; for the attacker, it was a high-reward strike against a costly target.

THE FINAL BLOW

The killing blow came from an unknown attacker flying an ID 18031, who appears to have done the bulk of the damage as well, with more than 1.08 million points recorded. With no broader fleet pressure visible in the data, the destruction suggests a fast, concentrated attack rather than a prolonged brawl. That kind of efficiency is often what decides these smaller New Eden encounters: one mistake, one exposed ship, and the fight is already lost.

THE AFTERMATH

For a single-loss event, the consequences are straightforward but severe. One expensive ship is gone, one pilot is left counting the cost, and Unaligned attackers walk away with a clean and decisive result. In a universe where even brief encounters can erase billions, this kind of loss is reminder enough that nowhere is truly safe once a high-value hull is isolated.

ChuangShi Parked 234 Ships in P-ZMZV. Can't park there m8 Noticed.

The first confirmed loss in P-ZMZV wasn't a ship. At 13:49 the opening entry on the killboard is a capsule - a pilot's escape pod, logged and destroyed. The last entry, some two and a half hours later, is an Osprey Navy Issue flown for Black Layer Syndicate. In between, the system swallowed 581 losses and roughly 1.77 trillion ISK, and when the shooting finally stopped, one side was still out there sweeping the grid for pods.

Rattini Tribe Topped Amamake's Kills and Its Losses

At 22:01 UTC the first wreck of the night was a Slasher, a frigate so cheap it barely registers as a rounding error in a system like Amamake. Nearly four hours later, at 01:59, a Hecate stopped burning and the shooting finally trailed off. In between, Heimatar's most notorious lowsec system swallowed a Titan, a supercarrier, thirty-three capitals and somewhere in the region of 12.2 trillion ISK of everything else. The final tally: 1,705 ships destroyed, roughly 44,900 pilots credited across the killmails, and one alliance sitting proudly at the top of both the kill column and the loss column.

One hull, one pilot, one very bad moment, and the number that will define this fight long after the killboards stop updating.
