So I'm trying to explain this to friends in terms of isk and dollars. Has anyone estimated what the cost? I don't know the exchange rate to use.

It's a bit hard to measure the full loss, as the main loss was quality of space with the sov drop after DT.
The corp theft from BNC alone was something like 20-30b not taking rigs and fits into account.
If you want someone to try and quantify the losses directly and indirectly related to this single incident, I think we're looking at a value in the Trillions.

You know what he meant.
The infrastructure losses can only be measured in the value of the man hours to deploy and maintain them, as well as the value they bring to the users of the services provided.
The sheer potential size of this total value is just too large to get my mind around it.

Originally by: Genya Arikaido in the value of the man hours
Oh yeah! In terms of man hour your talking years if not decades of hard work wasted/lost. Setting up outposts is pretty hard work. I suppose if you could find out who does what in real life, then calulate thier value per hour based on skills then you'd be talking millions of dollars.
But think of all the money wasted with us sitting here playing this game anyway. You can't reduce life to a spread sheet. Thats just not fun at all.

we won't really be able to tell until we see how much they can get back again. the POS towers didn't all unanchor themselves did they? the outposts didn't vanish did they? their fleets are still around, right?
heck, CCP may have mercy on them and undo this sabotage and put it all back... but i highly doubt that. |

If you are considering your time spent on Eve in terms of 'man hours' you're doing something wrong.
It's a freakin' game..
It's 'value' is the ability to entertain you. Nothing more, nothing less. Tbh I think it would be a far better game if some of the more zealous and fanatical members of the community kept that in mind.
That's why I left my BoB corp all those years ago. They were planning to circle the map and I could already see how they were manipulating and using their members. I did actually think they stood a chance of achieving that aim at the time but we know what happened. They barely got half way round. Ho hum. -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years)

I bet it would rival, if not exceed, the job pulled off by GHSC all those years ago. That was estimated at $16,000 in rw money.

I have, for the past six hours, been trying to get a handle on this figure myself to see, as a point of amusement, what it would be.
As of right now I have 14 hand written pages of recorded figures and there is no way I'm typping that all out. So here's the total loss in ISK. Oh and keep in mind I low-balled the prices on everything, so this is the MINIMUM the total loss could be providing they do not get back Cap Ship production and they are written off.
7,776,158,000,000
My estimate only.
Now if you do a google for "Sell EVE ISK" you'll find the best price you could (if a evil person who dosen't mind breaking the EULA!) sell that ISK for. The LOWEST buyer of ISK pays $1.00 USD per 100,000,000 ISK
That means the real-world value of what was lost...
$77,761.58

How many play hours where lost?
Better?
Edit: I see that someone has already given that treply.
To Andrue, yes, it is a game, but still losing this way something that a player has helped build hurt. I suppose it is the reason why it was done, but I the way it was done to me seem the worst possible.

I agree with that. I'd only dispute the idea that you can put a monetary value on the incident.
This incident will have had an emotional impact on a lot of people. Eve is good at evoking strong emotion. I just hope most of the 'victims' are strong enough to get over it. The most important thing they can do is learn from it I guess.
On the plus side my old hauler alt that has been trapped in NOL since 2005 might finally be able to get out. I think he's got an old Duramaller in there |

remember that when bob lost sov, they lost docking rights to their stations. Which means they lost all those ships/mods/etc in those stations.
So the faster the goons and co can take those stations the faster that bob wont be able to recover.
Trapped t2 bpos anyone?
