Golem Caught and Broken in 0P-F3K Amid Siberian Squads Pressure

A Deepwater Hooligans Golem was destroyed in 0P-F3K after Siberian Squads pinned the marauder and ground it down in a short but costly engagement. The ship’s 1.4 billion ISK loss was backed by a substantial volley of cruise missiles and heavy firepower, with the final blow landing from an Exequror Navy Issue flown by Alecksey Osipov.

THE CATCH

The fight in 0P-F3K was brief, but it ended in one of the most expensive ways possible for Deepwater Hooligans. Feng fenghua’s Golem, a marauder built to project serious damage and survive under pressure, was lost to Siberian Squads in an engagement involving 13 participants. For a ship of that class to go down in a matter of moments suggests the pocket closed quickly once the target was committed.

THE FIREPOWER

Siberian Squads committed a mixed strike package that included a Moros Navy Issue, a Vargur, a Phobos, a Caracal Navy Issue, and the final-blow Exequror Navy Issue. The presence of a Moros Navy Issue alongside subcapital support suggests the Golem was met with far more than nuisance harassment. Damage was spread across several attackers, but Maksimus-Decimus in the Moros Navy Issue appears to have done the heaviest lifting before Alecksey Osipov delivered the finishing volley.

THE COLLAPSE

The wreck tells part of the story as well. Large numbers of Fury cruise missiles were looted or destroyed in the aftermath, pointing to a Golem fitted for sustained missile fire rather than a lightly armed travel fit. Even so, that firepower never got the chance to matter for long. Once the pressure landed, the marauder’s buffer appears to have failed before any meaningful escape could develop.

THE LOSS

With 1.2 billion ISK destroyed and only 127 million ISK recovered, the loss was a hard one for Deepwater Hooligans and the Family Guy. corporation. In New Eden, a marauder is never just another casualty; it is a declaration of intent, and its destruction leaves both a financial and operational mark. For Siberian Squads, the kill is a sharp reminder that even heavily armed solo ships can be isolated and broken when the hunt is timed correctly.

Rattini Tribe Topped Amamake's Kills and Its Losses

At 22:01 UTC the first wreck of the night was a Slasher, a frigate so cheap it barely registers as a rounding error in a system like Amamake. Nearly four hours later, at 01:59, a Hecate stopped burning and the shooting finally trailed off. In between, Heimatar's most notorious lowsec system swallowed a Titan, a supercarrier, thirty-three capitals and somewhere in the region of 12.2 trillion ISK of everything else. The final tally: 1,705 ships destroyed, roughly 44,900 pilots credited across the killmails, and one alliance sitting proudly at the top of both the kill column and the loss column.

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.
