Actually, bringing it out for 'only' a gank shows fairly restrained and reasonably cautious thinking on his part. He didn't risk his ship in a major action where the odds of being taken down would be fairly high - He went on an supposed ambush led by a known and respected FC. Based on every bit of information available to him, the risk was minimal. He had no way of knowing he was flying into a well-laid trap.

But that's EVE.

This is what happens when people never leave highsec, they spout out information that was correct 7 years ago. Titans are owned by single players these days & are not a shared asset.

This is what happens when you are Goon and have never seen high-sec. They spout information about how EVE was 7 years ago and still get it wrong. There never were ships that could be owned by two and more players.

To be fair, Dray Cil was likely referring to ship replacement programs and Mallak is a Goon, which is also his excuse.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Oh, give over.
Everyone knows that ships are identified with a single account, but it's just as obvious that many people can contribute to the construction of a ship, thus have a vested interst in its use and fate.

Because undocking the rarest ship in EVE to jump into combat and then losing it without giving any fucks is baller mode.

In answer to your question I can only say, yes. Or, alternatively, no.

Careful, now. You're getting a bit too specifically non-specific. Someone may wish to talk to you about that. Or maybe not.

Cause they are rare which means its a collectors item/ship.


I'll sell you an Ishkur with large rigs on it. It's probably one of a kind at this point, and there is very likely never to be any more made.

It is a rare ship, therefore a collectors item.

Bidding starts at 100M isk.

Reserve is hidden, but somewhere in the neighborhood of Revenant prices.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Dude so lets say you bought a baseball that is signed by
Babe Ruth which only 2 existed in the world and paid
Lots of $$$$ do honestly think you will go play baseball with it
Because it's used to play or would you store it behind glass
And look at it once in awhile to say " hey I own a ball that babe Ruth signed"
That's it!

I had a football (American) signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers 1979 Super Bowl team. One of my idiot friends played catch with it in the rain and wiped off all of the signatures. Sorry, off-topic, just sharing my tragic tale of woe.... As you were men, carry on.

So here I am bored on my phone thinking what to do.
Ahhhh I know. Type in Google ( The most expensive ship lost in eve online).

Then I see the revenant ship lost -> The loss of the ship is estimated to be somewhere between 280B and 330B ISK, which equates to around $8,000+ in US dollars.

hollemac I say!!! Shocked

What the hell???

Seriously tell me what is the point to own such a rare ship
And bring it to battle, which you risk loosing it???

If I owned that ship I would take it out once a month to look at it and say wow
Then store it! Just to say hey look what I have haha. However to lose it in battle.
I would lose months of sleep and maybe retire eve all together.

I really wonder how this guy feels at this point?
And is he still playing eve online?

http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=18611012



Do you know how much isk the guy who lost it has?The answer to this normally is no and as such you can not know what the ''value'' of it is to that guy.

For all we know it might be only 20% of his total wealth wich would be the same as a few months old player loosing a drake.


At least he had the balls to use his ship in combat , for that he get's my respect .

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

There are only two (2) Revenant ships left in all of EVE universe. How much rarer can that be?

Fed Mega for one.

The Revenant is not out of production, and is not unobtainable, just rare in drop of the print, and expensive to build for what it is.

Because its a game Blink

Plus, equating ISK value to $/£/whatever is a bit pointless. Unless the person paid for theship with PLEX, then it could have cost them no real money at all, except for the electric and internet bill Smile
