For a while now, TEST (Test Alliance Please Ignore) and CFC(Clusterfuck Coalition) have been going at it for Fountain territory in which TEST controls.

 

So on the 28th, CFC decides they are going to head over to 6VDT-H, a major base of Test's and attack it.

 

So then Test uses it's titans ($4,000.00 ships) to jump over to 6VDT-H since their base is surrounded.

 

Then both the alliances go at it, and in the end $20,000.00 worth of ships were lost (2591 ships).

 

After that Test decides to go kill a CFC titan which wasn't guarded and destroyed another $4,000.00 worth of ships.

Yes. 100% real money.

[FireFox]

Yes. 100% real money.

 

Jesus, what's the point in that

 

So to replace those ships is going to require another $20,000?

Yet another reason not to spend real money beyond the point of purchase. [bought a ship in Star Citizen mainly due to alpha beta and full game for 40$].

But they had it comin, tossed their money into some program that has no monetary benefit what so ever.

Sux to be them. L O L.

Take into consideration that most of the $20,000 is not money people actually put into the game. That number is based off of the player's value of Eve's currency. This is because players are allowed to buy subscriptions with real money and sell them in-game. I'd imagine that most of the ships were created through harvesting materials in-game, so more time than money was lost.

For clarification you don't have to buy the ships with Plex(500 million isk or 30 day membership). Many people just go mine ores and sell those to industrialists who manufacture the ship themselves or as a group

Its a good game overall because it's mostly player controlled. There aren't that many rules, some people make livings scamming people. The economy is amazing, it's also player controlled, many people make livings off buying and selling, it's also dynamic. There are quite a few specializations you can chose to do ex. Factional warfare, movers, pirates, pvp, pve, mining, manufacturing, scamming, trading, exploration, etc.

You can fund your ingame membership with plex if you make enough money

Eve is way to complicated for my tiny mind to understand.
