Drekavac Destroyed in 1.1B ISK Hunt in ZDB-HT

A Drekavac worth 1.1 billion ISK was caught and destroyed in ZDB-HT as a Goonswarm Federation strike group closed in on Jacques Perl of Psyno Theory. The battle was not a sprawling fleet clash, but it carried the same sharp edge: a valuable ship isolated, pressure building, and a final blow landed by a Prophecy Navy Issue flown by Brolicious.

THE CATCH

The engagement in ZDB-HT ended with a single expensive loss, but it was no routine pickoff. Eighteen pilots were involved in the broader fight, with Goonswarm Federation and Psyno Theory on opposite sides of the exchange. At the center of it was Jacques Perl’s Drekavac, a hull that quickly became the prize once the fight narrowed around it.

THE PRESSURE BUILDS

Goonswarm’s damage dealers came in the form of multiple Prophecy Navy Issues, with Brolicious, Brococrisps, Mealteamsix, bbceidon, and Brohibition all contributing to the kill. Their combined fire suggests a concentrated effort rather than a lucky finishing shot, and the numbers point to a target that was already under sustained pressure when the final damage landed.

THE BREAK

Brolicious secured the final blow, but the loss was spread across the attacking line. The Drekavac yielded 742.3 million ISK in destroyed value and 340.5 million ISK in drops, including stacks of Mystic M, Meson Exotic Plasma M, and Tetryon Exotic Plasma M, while Nanite Repair Paste and Occult M were largely destroyed in the wreckage. The ship itself was the story: a costly hull lost in a moment where escape or reinforcement evidently never arrived in time.

THE COST

For Psyno Theory and Jacques Perl’s corp, Physics Says No, the destruction of a Drekavac is a sharp reminder of how quickly an expensive cruiser-class ship can vanish once caught. For Goonswarm Federation, the kill adds another measured success in ZDB-HT, a clean and visible result from a 14-pilot attacking effort that turned a brief encounter into a 1.1 billion ISK loss for the other side.

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.
