i've been looking at the history of the game, the events, the roleplay, rare/unique ships and this scenario came up;
A unique ship is handed out - it is amazing, it's design puts all other ships to shame, it's a work of art, it can create huge firework shows, etc..basically it rocks - it has however only 100 hp, meaning that one hit will destroy it, erasing it from the game forever revealing those turgid nebulas.
whilst many people would simply look at the ship and go 'nice!', some would try and be the first to land a hit on it, to blow it up in some kind of 'race'....why is this?

Fame of course... I would love to be known as one of the people that erased something from the game.

If it will be a new 'unique' ship: Tyrrax Thorrk will buy it, and will have it blown up, at some later date, to a greater 'ahhhs' and 'oohhhs' on the forum.
Oh, you asking a question? Sorry, it is nice to blow up something unique and precious, that gives you a degree of ownership, an investment in the object, it also brings with it some modicum of fame and renown. Killing something unique is great, because it can never be recreated again, a sense of power really overwhelming for some people.
Oh, and if I had it, I would sell it... ISK in hand better than "Ohh Shiny" in a hangar or "Crap, I can't believe my Gold Magnate just went to bits."

Well it's the same if for example a Jove mothership jumped into some bit of 0.0 everyone and their dog/alts would swarm there in the hopes of getting the killmail on such a thing. Of course they never would kill it not because the ship is powerful but because the server would just die. ------------
