460B ISK Slugfest Ends in Ruin in 2ID-87

A protracted fight in 2ID-87 has left more than 460 billion ISK in wreckage behind, with 366 pilots trading blows over nearly four hours before the field finally went quiet. The engagement saw capitals, battleships, and smaller support hulls cut apart in waves, as both sides pushed deep enough into the brawl to suffer staggering losses.

THE CLASH FOR 2ID-87

The battle opened at 15:10 and did not end until 18:55, turning 2ID-87 into the scene of one of the day’s most punishing fleet actions. The fight drew in forces tied to HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx on one side, and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku alongside Brotherhood of Spacers on the other, with additional groups feeding into both coalitions as the engagement escalated. By the time the guns fell silent, the system had seen 202 ship losses and a total value destroyed of 460.3 billion ISK.

CAPITALS AND BATTLESHIPS IN THE FIRE

The wreckage suggests this was not a brief skirmish but a full-scale commitment of expensive assets. Among the dead were Zirnitras, Nightmare-class battleships, and Apocalypse Navy Issue hulls, alongside a Purifier and even an Amarr Shuttle caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. That mix points to a fight that widened beyond the heavy hitters, with support ships and smaller craft pulled into the same deadly exchange as the larger vessels tried to hold the line.

THE PRICE OF STAYING IN RANGE

The heaviest destruction appears to have fallen on xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku and Brotherhood of Spacers, whose losses totaled more than 237.5 billion ISK. HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx also took severe punishment, losing over 222.7 billion ISK in the same battle. The scale of the losses suggests neither side was able to break cleanly away once the engagement turned hot, and both paid heavily for remaining committed as the fight dragged on.

A STAND THAT WILL BE REMEMBERED

The battle was ultimately decided by the side fielding 366 attackers, with HOLD MY PROBS listed prominently among the damage dealers and Red Alliance, Reeloaded., and Lunar Luminescence also contributing to the destruction. WarBeacon records the final blow as coming from the battle report itself, underscoring that this was a collective annihilation rather than a single decisive strike. In practical terms, 2ID-87 has been left with a field of expensive wrecks and a reminder of how quickly a long-running fleet confrontation can spiral into one of the region’s costliest losses.

Scan Stakan Killed 55 Ships and Lost 186 in the Same Fight

E-WMT7 produced 376 killmails, somewhere around 134 billion ISK of wreckage, and one battleship worth more than a force auxiliary, a Nestor and a Typhoon Fleet Issue put together. The number that stings harder is 186. That is how many ships Scan Stakan lost in the same engagement in which they killed 55 - top of the kill list and top of the loss list, in a single three-and-a-half-hour afternoon.

x Never Regret x Takes 40 Kills as Raa Burns 26 Capitals

At 17:28 UTC, a Retriever died in Raa. Retrievers die constantly, and in Devoid that is more or less the job description. This one is only worth mentioning because of what followed it: for the next hundred minutes, a system on the edge of Amarr space turned into a scrapyard, and by the time the last shot landed at 19:10, 87 ships had been destroyed and the bill had reached 157.4 billion ISK. Almost half of that was one Revelation.

Rattini Tribe and Prime Directive. Split Dal's 192 Billion ISK Bill

An Amarr Shuttle belonging to G0lden Fleet. died in Dal at 16:15 UTC. That is not normally the opening line of a 192 billion ISK story, but Dal spent the next three hours and forty-one minutes making sure nobody forgot it. By the time the last capsule in the system - belonging to x Never Regret x - came apart at 19:56, 557 pilots had produced 516 confirmed losses, fourteen capital ships had been wrecked, and the Heimatar system had eaten just over 192 billion ISK. That is not a skirmish somebody stumbled into. That is a decision, made over and over, for the better part of four hours.

Brave Newbies Topped Both Sides of the HY-RWO Ledger

The first ship to die in HY-RWO was a Rokh worth 44.7 billion ISK, and it set the tone for everything that came after. Over the following hour, 1,883 pilots fought in the Catch system, 243 ships were destroyed, and around 205 billion ISK was removed from the economy one killmail at a time. Not a single capital ship died. In a fight of that size, the most expensive losses were ordinary battleships, fitted in a way that makes the word 'ordinary' sound absurd.
