460.3 Billion ISK Slips Away in a Massive 2ID-87 Bloodbath

A sprawling battle in 2ID-87 ended with 460.3 billion ISK in wreckage and 203 ships gone from the field, as a 366-pilot clash between two large coalitions of mixed fleets tore through the system over the course of nearly ten hours. Among the losses were battleships, capitals, bombers, and even a shuttle, a spread that suggests the fighting never settled into a single clean exchange but instead escalated through repeated waves of violence.

THE COLLISION

The engagement appears to have begun in the early hours of June 6 and stretched deep into June 7, turning 2ID-87 into the site of a prolonged and costly fleet action. On one side stood HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, with support from other groups; opposite them was xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku and Brotherhood of Spacers, also reinforced by others. With 366 participants committed overall, this was no brief skirmish but a full-scale confrontation that left both camps paying dearly.

THE HEAVIEST LOSSES

The destruction was spread across a sharp mix of hulls, but the most striking losses were the two Zirnitras, alongside a Nightmare and an Apocalypse Navy Issue. Those ships alone point to a fight where expensive assets were exposed long enough to be caught and punished. The presence of a Purifier and even an Amarr Shuttle among the wrecks suggests the battle reached beyond the capital and battleship cores, catching anything that remained vulnerable in the system.

THE BREAKING POINT

What turned the fight decisively is not fully visible in the data, but the damage distribution suggests a coordinated blow landed hard enough to overwhelm whatever resistance remained. The final blow was recorded by WarBeacon in the battle report itself, underlining that the entire engagement is best understood as one long, grinding loss event rather than a series of isolated kills. HOLD MY PROBS appears to have been the most active attacker by damage done, with Legion of xXDEATHXx and several other groups also contributing meaningful pressure.

WHY IT MATTERS

A fight that destroys 460.3 billion ISK in assets is more than a local setback; it is the sort of engagement that strips ships, morale, and momentum from anyone trying to hold the field. With both sides taking heavy damage and neither appearing to escape the bleeding, the battle in 2ID-87 stands as a reminder of how quickly a large clash can turn into a ruinous exchange. In New Eden, even a system name can become a monument when the wreckage piles high enough.

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.

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.
