Zerowinged Vasiliev Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Not sure if this was posted anywhere but if you are interested: Don't want to watch the intro and go straight to the initial "holy shit" moment? Skip to 3:25 in the video. Ships of all sorts, shapes, and sizes are bridging in throughout the video. This was all sparked by a simple mis-click by one player. Number of unique chars that received a Suspect flag: 2472Number of unique chars that received a Criminal flag: 236Total amount of security status lost: -3027.29 by 2240 unique characters – An average of -1.35 per character that committed a crimeTotal amount of bounty claimed: 1,182,126,320 ISK 832,000,000,000 (estimated) ISK lost.

Hollowmenphobia Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 832,000,000,000 (estimated) ISK lost. That's what every single account involved with the alliances is doing, right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSergal Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 So whats the full story behind this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huttser Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Someone's intel was waaaaaay off. They popped off a shot in the wrong system and suddenly, all across New Eden, well... shit got real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerowinged Vasiliev Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) The leviathan they were attacking in the beginning of the video is owned by CFC (ClusterFfff Coalition) and is worth around 3,900USD in total. The Titan's pilot accidentally jumped the titan into the system instead of briding to allow the support fleet to come in and reinforce the offense against a nearby DND support tower. It was supposed to be a simple "Walk in and kill what you can mission". The original target of the attacking fleet was one of DND's support towers (that you can see in the video) which was about to come out of reinforce. All seemed simple, but the CFC received bad intel when the guy from Fatal Ascension forgot to mention that the locals had a nasty habit of hot-dropping in PL's (Pandemic Legion) supercaptials to defend the area. PL was already pissed off at CFC and their allies because they killed three Nyx super-carriers earlier that month (worth well over thirty billion isk alone to fit without anything in the bays) so they happily oblidged in the offer to have standby supports waiting to jump onto DND's station if necessary So when the CFC accidentally warped the titan instead of bridging, the flag was thrown to PL and the clusterFfff ensued with every major alliance and coalition in EVE showing up for a piece of the fight. Edit: Did some research, fixed the story. TLDR: Original target was a station, defending command knew it was going to be the target of an attack and had an ally's super-capital fleet in reserve. Offensive command accidentally warped a titan [largest and arguably the most expensive ship in the game] into the system instead of using it to create a artificial wormhole. Defense was like "oFfff" and called in their reinforcements. Edited February 6, 2013 by Zerowinged Vasiliev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSergal Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Thanks, So rough estimate, how much real world US$ was really lost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygna Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 So rough estimate, how much real world US$ was really lost? According to http://isk.thealphacompany.net: 1 USD = 28,070,175.44 ISK So perhaps 29,640.00 USD was lost in that battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huttser Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 That cost estimate is also well off, since the kill count servers went down about half way though, before most of the Titans were popped, so that could quite easily be double.

Kellervo Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Most of the Titans...? A battle where ONE Titan goes down is a big deal. More then 2 is absolutely unheard of. In fact I don't think there's even been more then 3 lost in a single battle before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huttser Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 A good number of 'em were popped if I remember what got said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Breed Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Well considering how PLEX are going for 550 mil a pop. So it is about 1 usd = 36 mil But yes it was a nice fuckfest that happened in lowsec. Nice to watch people fuckup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been instances of several Titans being lost, Battle of Y-2ANO a few years back, PL/Goons at the time jumped in 4+ Titans into a heavily lagged system, blackscreened, and died without ever loading(This was prior to the Time Dilation system being placed in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markius Fox Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 And I thought 5 million ISK (or whatever amount it was) was a lot to work off after a botched money scheme (long story short, I was dumb once and got caught by CCP, never did it again). Sheesh...If I had accidentally rolled in with my Ferox, I would have been popped in less than a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
