Apocalypse Navy Issue Lost in a Small Dracarys. Skirmish in M-PGT0

A Dracarys. Apocalypse Navy Issue was destroyed in M-PGT0 in a brief but costly encounter that ended with a 1.1 billion ISK loss. What makes the wreck more striking is the shape of the engagement itself: the ship was destroyed in a fight involving only four participants, with the final blow landing from another Dracarys. pilot, HearMeRoar, flying the same hull.

THE CATCH

The loss came fast in M-PGT0, where a small local fight turned into an expensive disaster for Dracarys. The Apocalypse Navy Issue flown by Fenris wrath carried the kind of fittings and ammunition that make a battleship a tempting prize, and the engagement quickly centered on stripping that value away before it could be recovered or withdrawn.

THE FIRE EXCHANGE

The damage record suggests the ship was under heavy pressure from multiple directions. HearMeRoar, also in an Apocalypse Navy Issue, applied the final blow after Ardent Blade in a Praxis had already contributed significant damage. An unidentified attacker in a Domination Titan also appears in the engagement, hinting at an unusual mix of weight for such a compact fight. The result was a focused collapse rather than a drawn-out brawl.

THE LOSSES

The destroyed battleship accounted for most of the value on the field, with 927.1 million ISK lost outright and another 195.6 million ISK recovered or left to drop. The remaining wreckage included cruise missiles, large and medium ammunition, and other standard combat supplies, underscoring that this was a ship caught in action rather than an empty shell. For Fenris wrath and Heidelberg., the cost was immediate and substantial.

WHY IT MATTERS

Single-ship losses at this scale still matter because they show how quickly an expensive hull can be isolated and removed in New Eden. With Dracarys. appearing on both sides of the fight, the engagement may have been a localized internal clash or a closely tangled encounter between pilots from the same power bloc. Either way, M-PGT0 now has another reminder that even a Navy Issue battleship can vanish in moments when the wrong guns find it first.

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.
