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.

I think it's so VERY RARE because it looks like a turd.

I wonder who owns the other two and how come they are not using it in battles??? |

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
Plus, equating ISK value to $/-ú/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 |

Everyones right.
1) its a pixel ship, pretty good in combat. Why own it if not going to use
2) its the most expensive/ rare ship in the game why risk it in combat when there are equally powerful ships that dont look luke a turd that u can use
The only thing that makes the difference between 1 and 2 is the pilot.
1) whats the risk 2) whats its isk value to him. How much does he have. How much does he earn. 3) how much of a thrill does he get from flying it
Every person here is going to value 1, 2, 3 differently so arguing about how ur 2 is more important than someones 3 is pointless. |

Difference here is: 1) He didn't pay real money for it - he paid space pixel money for a space pixel ship. 2) The EVE ship has no collectors value on a broad market, nor any way to convert it back to real $$. 3) Just because you can *spend* that much real money on a ship does not make it *worth* that much.
That doesn't quite make any sense. If trading baseballs became illegal over night the ball does not lose any value just because you can no longer sell it. And how about another real wold example. Say i find a stash of ******* worth 50 million (that i did not pay any real money for), legally i cannot sell it , or even have it... but i sure as **** aint gonna give it away or leave it there. I'm gonna try to sell it illegally. |

Same could be said about expensive clones. Its a weird game. Where everything is a numbers game, losing a very expensive ship makes no sense numerically or statistically.
But I bet it was fun. Hopefully lots of alcohol was consumed. |

There's one simple truth: no matter what the real-life cost of that Revenant was, it is forever irrelevant because ingame assets cannot be (legally) transformed back into IRL cash. PLEX is about the closest you get but in the end, your actual money will never leave Eve. So at some point you think enough is enough and owning X is no longer a goal, and it has to die in a glorious explosion. To bad for the pilots involved this particular ship met it's end through more nefarious means then just open combat, but then again it happened that way because, well... welcome to Eve! |

In terms of %age of total wealth lost this loss probably doesn't feature in the top 1000.
In terms of time spent to acquire this loss probably doesn't feature in the top 1000.
When you think about things relatively things like this probably occur fairly frequently, just not on the same scale. That said it is the sign of an internet spaceship baller to take such a rare ship into combat and for that I commend the pilot. I think its sad when all the limited ship never see combat.

This thread is awful.
But go on, the Revenant truly is an "excellent ship for battles" and I am sure "his corp and/or alliance members paid for most of it" because it "makes [them] win most of the fights [they] get into". The fact that its loss can make a mild-mannered leader like Grath rage and the lack of any PL intervention in Fountain while their ally TEST has been bleeding sov goes to show that this Revenant was the secret behind their previous success. If they can't acquire a new one soon (which will take a few weeks of alliance ratting/mining ops) they might actually end up losing their revenance in the 0.0 metagame. RIP Pandemic Legion. |

There's just no escaping that observation. It really needs to be redesigned. Maybe to look more like a dead, dessicated mouse instead of a big, steaming turd. Watch this space.-á New exciting signature in development. |
