Capsule Worth 1.7 Billion ISK Caught in AD117 Strike

A brief hunt in AD117 ended with a costly capsule and a Gila on the wrong side of the wreckage, as Perun Clade brought down HOLD MY PROBS in a fast encounter worth 2.8 billion ISK overall. The centerpiece was the escape pod of ShvedPSK60, whose death stripped away a 1.7 billion ISK clone and a set of expensive implants in seconds.

THE CATCH

The engagement unfolded quickly, with just three pilots involved and little room for a mistake to be forgiven. Perun Clade appears to have found HOLD MY PROBS exposed in system AD117 and closed in before the target could get clear, turning what may have been a routine movement into a sharp and expensive loss.

THE LOSS

The most striking casualty was not the Gila, but the capsule that followed it down. ShvedPSK60 of HOLD MY PROBS, flying for Scan Stakan, lost a pod valued at 1.7 billion ISK after an Unknown attacker in a Ghosting Damavik landed the final blow. The destroyed implants included Mid-grade Nirvana Beta, Delta and Omega sets, along with Zainou Deadeye missile implants, suggesting this was no empty clone and making the loss sting far beyond the hull itself.

THE ESCALATION

The fight also claimed a Gila, pushing the total destruction to 2.8 billion ISK across two losses. With only one attacker credited for the final blow and the exchange lasting less than half a minute, the evidence points to a brief, decisive strike rather than a prolonged brawl. That kind of outcome leaves little opportunity for backup, repairs, or a second chance.

THE SIGNIFICANCE

For HOLD MY PROBS, the damage is concentrated in a single, memorable disaster: a valuable pod destroyed in the wrong place at the wrong time. For Perun Clade, the result suggests a clean and effective interception, one that converted a fleeting opening into an expensive prize. In a universe where expensive clones are often meant to buy insurance against risk, AD117 proved how quickly that protection can vanish.

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.

Solyaris Chtonium Killed Redux.'s Avatar as 1,166 Pilots Watched

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.
