In Eve Online, there were several major battles involving thousands of ships. Even the developers have spoken out to acknowledge the events with a few warm words.
What do the developers say? In an initial post on X, the developers of Eve Online explained that there were fights in the area “Old Man Star” between the factions “Minmatar Fleet Alliance” and “Snuffed Out” as well as their allies. The reason: a Fortizar citadel whose hull timer had expired.
As a result of this first battle, ships and equipment valued at over 1 trillion ISK (Inter-Stellar Credit) are said to have been destroyed. According to coinbrain.com, one ISK currently equals 0.00000974 Euros. Therefore, approximately 9.7 million Euros worth of items were destroyed in the roughly one and a half hour long battles.
The majority of the losses (376 ships) must be endured by the “Minmatar Fleet Alliance” and their allies. You can find the battle report on br.evetools.org. A summary of the battle is available on YouTube.
After the battle is before the battle
Is there also a second post? Yup! A day later, the developers followed up with another message on X, in which they report on the fall of the Keepstar citadel in Y-MPWL. The defenders fought bravely.
During the siege, the developers state that over 3,200 ships were destroyed, resulting in damage amounting to nearly 800 billion ISK. You can also find the battle report here on br.evetools.org.
Eve Online is known for battles of this scale. This is made possible by the vast universe of the sci-fi MMORPG, which has always been characterized by the enormous freedom that allows players to have a significant influence on the balance of power.
A particularly notable event occurred about 20 years ago when a community infiltrated a large organization within the game to eliminate the CEO. To achieve their goal, the saboteurs invested more than 10 months.
