Capsule Worth 2B ISK Slips Away in D0-F4W Interception

A hunting party from No Visual. caught a Spaghetti N' Meatballs capsule in D0-F4W and ended the pilot’s escape in seconds, erasing implants worth 2 billion ISK in a sharp, localised interception.

THE CATCH

The encounter in D0-F4W was brief but costly. What began as a 11-pilot local clash ended with CrackerC of Spaghetti N' Meatballs losing their capsule, along with a set of implants that pushed the destruction to 2 billion ISK. For all the small ship names involved, the result was anything but minor.

THE PURSUIT

The attacking side, led by No Visual., fielded a compact group that included interceptors and fast-moving tackle, with superkings 232 in a Crusader securing the final blow. The lineup suggests a deliberate hunt rather than a broad fleet move, the kind of encounter where speed and timing matter more than numbers.

THE COLLAPSE

The loss was especially punishing because the pod was fitted with valuable implant sets, including Mid-grade Hydra and Zainou 'Deadeye' upgrades. Those items did not come free, and once the capsule was pinned there was no way back out. The final blow came from the Crusader, but the real damage was done the moment the pod was caught exposed in space.

THE PRIZE

For No Visual., the kill is a clean reward for a successful interception: a single target removed, a high-value pod destroyed, and no ambiguity about the cost of being caught. In New Eden, a capsule can be the smallest hull on the field and still carry the biggest consequences — and in D0-F4W, that rule held true again.

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.
