460B ISK Clash Leaves 2ID-87 Littered with Capitals and Navy Hulls

A long-running fight in 2ID-87 ended with 460.3 billion ISK in losses and 203 ships destroyed, as a 366-pilot force under HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, among others, overwhelmed an opposing coalition that included Brotherhood of Spacers and a raft of supporting groups. The engagement stretched across nearly 12 hours, turning the system into a graveyard for battleships, capitals, and smaller support craft alike.

THE CLOSING NET

The fighting in 2ID-87 began on June 6 and did not fully burn out until the early hours of June 7, suggesting a sustained and grinding engagement rather than a single decisive volley. By the time the system went quiet, the battle had drawn in 366 participants and produced a loss total that pushed well beyond the scale of an ordinary roaming clash. The spread of ships destroyed points to a force that was fully committed, with heavy hulls on both sides and enough support on hand to keep the fight going far longer than many smaller engagements can survive.

THE HEAVY HULLS FALL

The wreckage left behind tells the story of the kind of fleet action 2ID-87 became. Nightmare battleships and Apocalypse Navy Issue hulls accounted for the largest share of the destroyed ships, while both Zirnitra hulls and a Purifier also went down in the fighting. Even the appearance of an Amarr Shuttle on the loss list hints at how chaotic the system may have become as the engagement broadened and pilots tried to move, reposition, or escape through a battlefield that had already turned hostile.

THE TURNING POINT

At the centre of the report sits a loss valued at 460.3 billion ISK, attributed to a battle report final blow rather than a single ship on the field. The destroyed value was recorded in full, with no priced recovery to soften the blow. That suggests the battle’s real cost was not just the number of hulls destroyed, but the scale of the commitment required to bring the fight to its conclusion. HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, together with allied groups including Red Alliance, Reeloaded., and Lunar Luminescence, appear to have applied the pressure that finally broke the opposing side’s ability to hold the field.

WHAT IT MEANS

This was not a clean, quick interception. It was a major battle that dragged across a full stretch of time, consumed expensive ships on both sides, and left both coalitions with more than 200 losses apiece. With the heaviest destruction split between the two sides and the battlefield marked by capital losses as well as battleship wrecks, 2ID-87 now stands out as a costly confrontation rather than a routine exchange. In a region where control is often measured in the ships left alive after the smoke clears, this kind of attritional slugging match can leave a mark long after the last pilot leaves grid.

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.
