http://themittani.com/news/60-billion-isk-raven-down-gankers-rejoice

Holy mother of God. How can anyone fly a ship worth 60 billion? Shocked

I'm a full time devoted carebear, and I've heard enough horror stories to know that bling ships are walking dead ships. But that Navy Raven makes the average bling look cheap. Gankers estimate loss in ~60 billion, killmail estimates it in 44 billion.

In one hand I feel bad for the guy (you must really be very carebear to buy almost the best possible tank) but on the other hand... he should had known better. All what his tank needed to die were numbers.

Auntie Ish advice to carebears: don't fly bling ships. Seriously. Purple = poo. Bear

Who said he got ISK from carebear grind? Maybe he just happen to have enough throwaway RL cash for PLEX and he just enjoyed 1 mission per day flying shinies? Not smartest thing to do but v0v

Also his employment history is quite stretched over the years, I wouldn't be surprised if that toon was also a part of his shopping frenzy.

Damn. While I normally have limited respect for gankers, that was a damn fine job.

Wait a minute... he was ganked by 33 guys... he should just hire some mercs for that price, shouldn't him? What?

Should went out the window when he hopped in a 44 billion ISK sh*tfit to do missions that is about as efficient as my 0.55 billion ISK Navy Scorpion.

The myth of invulnerability. No combination of either isk or SP or both grants you that in New Eden. I've actually heard "I thought I couldn't be killed!" whined in local through their tears.

Less than smart.

There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance.

ok, is there any reason to ever use those "purple" mods?, well, the med and low slot ones go well with capital ships, but those tobias and estamels launchers?

just, fit one, and you are asking to be ganked
is there any legit, non-stupid use for them?

Much more stylish than just biomassing character with assets before leaving the game.

Just made some maths... @550 million per PLEX, we're talking about spending the equivalent to 1,600 euros in a ship + 900 in bounties. Kinda outrageous for some space pixels. Shocked
