Blue Loot Not Included Loses 3.4 Billion ISK Clash in J113449

A 23-ship fight in J113449 ended with Blue Loot Not Included and Snuffed Out-aligned forces trading blows over more than three hours, leaving 3.4 billion ISK in wreckage behind. The engagement was not a clean rout, but a grinding clash of battlecruisers, command destroyers, and support ships that suggests both sides committed enough to make the fight costly.

THE GRIND

The engagement in J113449 stretched from 14:19 UTC to 17:35 UTC, far longer than a simple intercept or ambush. With 23 pilots involved and 20 ships destroyed, the fight appears to have developed into a sustained skirmish rather than a brief punch-through, as Blue Loot Not Included faced off against a mixed hostile force tied to Snuffed Out, Get Jinxed, and others.

THE LOSSES

The wreckage tells the story of a fleet that carried real value into the field and paid for it in full. Harbinger Navy Issues accounted for the largest share of losses, with Sleipnirs, Prophecy Navy Issues, Pontifexes, Eris interdictors, and Bifrost command destroyers also destroyed. That mix suggests an organized force with links, tackle, and field control all present when the fight broke apart.

THE TURNING POINT

Blue Loot Not Included absorbed the larger share of the destruction, losing ships worth just under 3 billion ISK, while the opposing side lost a further 405 million ISK. The final blow was recorded by WarBeacon, and the close, mixed nature of the damage distribution indicates this was not a one-sided cleanup but a contested engagement where both sides kept pressure on until the field finally settled.

WHY IT MATTERS

In a region where small to mid-scale clashes can decide whether a gang keeps operating or pulls back, a 3.4 billion ISK loss is enough to sting. The destruction of multiple command and battlecruiser hulls suggests a fight that disrupted more than a passing roam, and the long duration points to a clash neither side could end quickly. For Blue Loot Not Included, the cost will be felt; for their opponents, the result is a hard-won prize taken from a fight that lasted long enough to turn patience into profit.

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.
