99.4B ISK Battle Ends in Heavy Losses in 2ID-87

A long, grinding fight in 2ID-87 ended with a 99.4 billion ISK wreckage tally and 225 ships destroyed, as two opposing coalitions traded blows across more than nine hours of combat. The engagement drew 294 participants and left both sides bloodied, with HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others taking the larger share of the destruction.

THE CLASH FOR 2ID-87

The battle in 2ID-87 appears to have opened as a large-scale confrontation rather than a quick strike, with fleets from Brotherhood of Spacers and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku, and others facing off against HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others. The scale alone suggests neither side was willing to yield the field easily: 294 pilots were involved, and the fighting stretched from the afternoon into the late evening before the outcome settled.

HEAVY SHIPS, HEAVIER LOSSES

The wreckage list points to a mixed and punishing engagement. Apocalypse Navy Issues and Nightmares were among the most prominent losses, alongside an Oneiros, a Typhoon, a Scorpion, and smaller ships such as Slasher frigates. That spread suggests the fight was not confined to a single doctrine or a narrow class of vessel; instead, it likely escalated across multiple layers of support and firepower, with expensive hulls exposed as the engagement developed.

THE TURNING POINT

The decisive loss came when 2ID-87 itself was destroyed for 99.4 billion ISK, with WarBeacon credited for the final blow. The event stands out not simply for its value, but because it came after a prolonged exchange in which Brotherhood of Spacers and allied groups appear to have concentrated enough force to overwhelm the opposing side. The battle report records 294 attackers tied to the kill, underlining just how many hands were involved in bringing the target down.

THE COST OF THE DAY

HOLD MY PROBS and Legion of xXDEATHXx, and others absorbed by far the larger portion of the loss value, with more than 91 billion ISK attributed to their side of the fighting. Brotherhood of Spacers and xqtywiznalamywmodxfhhopawzpqyjdwrpeptuaenabjawdzku, and others also suffered meaningful losses, but the overall result leaves 2ID-87 as a costly regional clash rather than a clean victory. In practical terms, the fight should leave both camps counting losses, replacing ships, and reassessing just how much they are willing to commit the next time the line hardens in this pocket of space.

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.
