Originally by: Ressiv Just to clear this up; this guy PROBABLY did this on purpouse. AFAIK, he cleared all alliance wallets and assets he could reach, and bought PLEX' for it.
He then proceeded to undock and get blown up. It wouldnt surprise me if he was a spy tbh, or a very disgrunted employee. (Or VERY borded/drunk/intoxicated/planning to leave EVE with a b00m, etc.)

Keep up the Damage control, if the killboard password had been got at, you really think the fail mining rokh, and a host of other losses wouldn't of been ripped to shred's by the good folk of kugu etc. Your Killboard would of been rife with it, not just that one loss, as epic in it's stupidity as it is.

Originally by: Slug Killer GG ccp, you managed to take 1k dollars / 800 or whatever euros from your customers and provide 0 content / game time for it. I got to say in the states, Im pretty sure there would be a legal issue with this, however im sure its fine in Iceland, this is just fantastic lol.
Um, I thing you are mistaken. I believe that CCP provided 74 Ingame items for the $$$. Its not their fault that the tool in the Kestral decided to take them for a drive in one tiny little ship in the biggest ganking spot in the game.
Even as a non Pirate... I take my hat off to this kill. Good work!

Quote: Jita, The Forge - On 112.08.07, a Kestrel frigate carrying 74 Pilot's License Extensions [PLEX] worth about 22 billion ISK, was blown up just outside of the Jita 4-4 station.
The frigate, piloted by Aystra of SpaceMonkeyÆs Alliance, was destroyed by slickdog and Viktor Vegas of The 0rphanage Alliance as part of a CONCORD sanctioned war between the two entities. It remains unclear why the frigate pilot took the risk to move such a valuable cargo during an active war.
According to wilbongbe of the SpaceMonkeyÆs Alliance, we might never know the reasons behind the attempted move, as the weight of the tremendous ISK loss pushed Aystra to immediately put an end to her capsuleering days.
The attacking pilots were unaware of the precious cargo and they immediately eliminated the wreck to deny any theft by scavenger pilots.
"I would probably be kicked out [of the alliance] if [PLEX] were to drop... I was the one that killed the wreck," concluded slickdog.
CCP itself agrees this thread should not die. And that the alliance leader *cough cough* I mean, 'Aystra' was pretty damn stupid ;-)

has anyone checked to see if PLEX's drop after a kill? iv never heard of one dropping so far every-time they get brought out in cargo and the ship dies they are lost, i mean it seems a bit "funny" that no-one thought to check what the drop ratio for plexes are, ccp could make a lot of money by simply having them blow up at a higher rate then normal items because lets face it, they practically become free money for ccp when the dissapear. John Doe buys 10 plexes, loses 10 plexes. all thats happened is ccp got the cash for the plexes and with no proof that they have been lost to fair mechanics have had them dissapear off the game meaning they pocket the cash with no legitimate complaint from mr Doe.
im not complaining mind, this is an epic kill i just find it a bit funny that out of 74 plex's not one dropped considering their net worth its just a bit odd. cudos to the aggressor and ccp on a fine kill and profit though ^^ why didnt they can them? i will never know ><

Yes, PLEXES drop, and the conspiracy theorists are wrong once again: http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=7118520
Also, drop mechanics roll the dice once per stack of items. All the PLEXES were in one stack, so there was a 50% chance all would drop and a 50% chance none would drop. There was a 0% chance that some but not all would drop.

Hmm...only 2 PLEXes, in a covert ops, with an afterburner.
You're doing it right.

thank you for clearing that up, im no conspiracy theorist im just curious to find out what we base this trust on, although seeing a kill with a plex drop is very reassuring. though might i point out you offer no reference for the dice roll of 50%, nor do i believe there ever will be one available, the truth of it is its just to beneficial for CCP to have a higher destruction rate on plexes then any other item in the game. needless to say im not complaining because its opened up some rather lucrative options for me but i still get the feeling we don't know the whole truth on this one

So investigate: go fly around with plex in your cargohold and get ganked, do it 10k times and you should have a nice idea of the drop rate.
I predict it will be close to 50%.... Inappropriate signature removed. Zymurgist |

Originally by: DocKevorkian As epic as this kill is (truly, truly epic -- a kill for the ages) I can't help but be troubled by CCP's lame justification for making plexes portable ("We hate having special things") when the $~1000 cash paid for the plexes that will never have to be honored is obviously the reason.
which he could have redeemed in perfect safety without ever leaving a station, his choice to undock and his responsibility for the loss, bugger all to do with ccp.
So if I were to throw a gun into a monkey cage it wouldn't be my responsibility if they ended up shooting eachother or (heavens forbid) the poor zoo employees/visitors?
I believe your view of 'responsibility' might need a check-up.
An intelligent entity according to current human social standards CAN in fact be held accountable for his or her actions pertaining in the (unnatural) manipulation of a lesser intelligent entity to exploit it.. anyway according to greenpeace and several environmentalist laws passed by many beaurocratic entities.
Oh wait, did I just render the entirity of the marketing and advertising strategies 'free world' corporations use illegal and unethical?.. I think I did.
We live in a world full of hypocracy, and mankind is unlikely to change soon.
We have forgotten why it is we trade (to share your knowledge/skill/expertise or services with others in the hope they will share theirs with you for mutual benefit), and have come to see MONEY as the end-all goal of trading and, in fact, living.
Money is merely a tool created to make trading easier while in the end all it has done is put a wall between us and the people we are trading with. Money has resulted in people not being able to see the happiness their work brings to others, the WHOLE REASON we trade to begin with. MONEY has completely consumed our society and is now concidered the single most important thing to have and aquire in this world. MONEY has transformed from being the road to the destination.
Money is the root of all deception, bad advertising, poor quality products, bad QA, bad PR and it has literally removed our very reason for trading.. to see a smile on the buyers face as he looks over your finely produced product and inspects it for any flaws. Feeling angry with yourself when he does in fact find a flaw, but also feeling an incredible job satisfaction as the customer complements you on your fine work and accepts the trade.
More news at 11.
DISCLAIMER: I am not trying to say CCP is innocent nor am I trying to say CCP is guilty. All I am trying to say is this is a complicated matter and should not be concidered as lightly as you do, if at all.
you forget one thing...your supposed to be both human, and an adult to play this game.
If you throw a gun into a cage with a bunch of human adults adn they shoot each other, you are not responsible.
Comparing the EVE playerbase to monkeys makes you one of them.

this thread is quite fun and entertaining :)
when i saw the kill on the board.... a kestrel with a 22b loss... i thought wtf faction mods was he using :P
72 plex.... i wouldnt move it.
iv done quite a lot of very high value runs(6-10b) on my alts before. but i still wouldnt move 22b at the same time... not to mention in a t1 frig.
you have t2 transports with cov ops cloaks, orcas, etc for such jobs (i use t2 cov op cloak fitted transport with agility mods :)... )
and epic lulz for ppl claiming it was a cheat that was used to drop the pilot 40km off the station... they have clearly no idea how eve client works :P
epic kill... all i can say.. i waited for this to happen sometime after the change to pelx... didnt take long :D ---------------------------------- Fighting for something

...maybe he was trying to get the PLEX to the ally's Titan and Mothership-Alts that cannot go to Jita by themselves... but... he could have used another char on the Alt account to do that, since PLEX and stuff is account based, not char based, right?
I am trying to find a reason for that transport but i cannot find any...

Thought about this as well. I think the guy was planning on leaving EVE with a b00m. That, or a lack of braincells.
And yes, PLEX is account based, not toon based. On top, they can be applied as gametime from ANYWHERE in the universe. So there is no need to transport them at all, if they are going to be used for gametime. ========================== Nothing is true, everything is permitted. ========================== |

He had likely bought them for lower prices in other regions of EVE and was planning to sell them for marked-up prices in Trade Capital. It's what I do--Drake BPOs, for example, sell for the same amount in Jita, and that's before they're researched.

Fail response and comparisons.
First of all, the pilot was at war. You dont haul stuff in stupidly fragile things around during wars, unscouted for. Secondly, Jita out of all places? In a frigate with a multibillion cargo? Thats ASKING to get ganked.
Also, the player conciously chose to do this him/herself. You could have used secure methods of transportation: cans, alts, better timeframes. Dont blame CCP for player idiocy.
final note: keep in mind the player might have bought the plexes with ISK instead of rl money.
I sure as **** hope he did.
major lolz.

Ok, until we hear the kestrel pilot's story (which will probably be a lie too) I think I have the most plausible and rational explanation:
Neglected wife finds out her husband has spent over a thousand dollars on "that stupid game" and logs in on his account to teach him a lesson.
You just *know* the pilot will say he was hacked and wants his character restored to the previous backup.

Edited by: Misunderstood Genius on 10/08/2010 11:35:49 The loss is EPIC. The stupidity of the victim is EPIC. Killing a Kessy in high-sec is NOT EPIC. To all who believe these pilots are LEGEND, they are not. High-sec war is made to catch weak targets at low risk. These Jita 4/4 undock camper just hit a random jackpot but the jackpot goes to CCP. Shooting at RL money in EVE is a new evil idea by CCP. Making additional RL profit by stupid players could be EPIC but ETHICAL ARGUABLE. :-P
