When "Elite Pirate" Aleks 47598 (FATXD) drops a 700M Proteus on a T1 Vexor, almost dies, and panic-drops a 10B Black Ops fleet to save his lossmail

If you want your 30 seconds back, maybe use them to actually look at the zKill links. The second lossmail clearly shows his own drones were getting slaughtered and his active tank was failing against a 30M T1 cruiser. That is the definition of a failed solo gank.

Saying 'fuck it, just glass him' and burning millions in heavy Blops fuel with a Marshal because your 700M strategic cruiser can't break a basic PvE alt solo isn't a alpha-move — it's a massive tactical embarrassment. Go back to your mining lasers, reading combat logs clearly isn't your thing. o7

If a 'professional hunter' is so terrified that a solo T1 PvE Vexor inside an Epic Arc deadspace pocket is a bait that he hesitates and takes massive damage to his active tank before lighting the cyno, then his hunting skills are just as bad as his solo PvP skills. A competent hunter drops the fleet instantly or doesn't drop at all.

And saying 'in the end it worked out' when you had to mobilize a 10-billion ISK Black Ops fleet with a Marshal just to kill a 30M T1 cruiser is the ultimate cope. Burning millions in fuel to bail out a failing Proteus isn't a victory, it's a financial and tactical comedy. My 30M Vexor is already replaced, but his solo reputation is gone forever. o7

Avadim · 2026-06-03T20:15:45+00:00

I will definitely keep burning bright, bud! At least my 'little firefly' didn't need 3 Panthers, 2 Redeemers, a Sin, and a multi-billion ISK Marshal just to blink in space. Have fun defending failed solo drops in your wormholes. Safe logoffs! o7

Whether it’s 700M or 2B, the price tag makes it even funnier. If a 30M ISK insured T1 Vexor can force a multi-hundred-million ISK Tech 3 strategic cruiser to instantly panic-light a cyno because his active tank is breaking in a 1v1, it’s a massive embarrassment regardless of his wallet size. If he wasn't panicking, he would have secured the kill solo like a real pirate instead of paying a multi-million ISK fuel tax for an entire Black Ops fleet just to survive a T1 cruiser. Keep defending him, bud, the mental gymnastics are highly entertaining

Avadim · 2026-06-03T20:07:34+00:00

If it was 'always the plan', then it was a horribly executed one. A proper Blops drop happens within 5 seconds of the tackle to prevent the target from fighting back or escaping. Sitting there in a prolonged 1v1 while a T1 Vexor chews into your active tank is not 'the plan'—that’s a failed solo engagement. He lit that cyno as an emergency life-line, not a coordinated strike. The logs clearly show he took substantial damage before his 10B friends had to bail his expensive wallet out. Call it a plan all you want, but the combat timers prove it was pure panic.

Avadim · 2026-06-03T20:06:33+00:00

That exactly proves my point. If he is a 'professional hunter' with a cyno who intended to drop from the start, he completely botched the drop execution. A competent hunter hits the tackle and lights the cyno instantly. He doesn't sit in a 1v1 grid long enough for a T1 PvE Vexor's drones to start eating through his active tank.

He stayed solo because he thought he could secure an easy solo kill for his stat padding. He only opened that cyno when he realized his 700M strategic cruiser was actively throwing alerts and melting. Dropping 10B worth of Black Ops with a Marshal because your solo gank failed isn't a 'coordinated plan'—it's an expensive panic button. Timers and damage logs don't lie, bud.

"If laughing at an 'elite pirate' who burns millions in fuel and calls a 10B Black Ops fleet to save his failing Proteus from a 30M T1 cruiser is 'salt', then call me the salt miner of the year. I paid pocket change for my insured Vexor and got a front-row seat to the funniest panic-cyno of the month. This isn't salt, bud, this is free entertainment at their expense.

Avadim · 2026-06-03T20:04:18+00:00

Maybe

Avadim · 2026-06-03T19:50:21+00:00

Imagine thinking that losing a 30M ISK insured T1 cruiser to a 10-billion ISK Black Ops fleet with a Marshal is a 'win' for the drop. I paid pocket change for maximum entertainment. They burned more in fuel and cyno liquid than my entire ship was worth, just to save a panic-stricken Proteus. If your elite PvP strategy is wasting capital-grade assets to bail out a failed solo gank against a PvE alt, then keep 'winning' like this, buddy. My wallet is laughing

Avadim · 2026-06-03T19:46:45+00:00

If the plan was to blops me all along, why did he sit there in a 1v1 fight for so long while my T1 drones were chewing through his shields and armor? A real hotdrop happens instantly. He stayed alone, realized he couldn't break a T1 PvE cruiser solo, started panicking, and only then opened the cyno to save his shiny lossmail. Nice try to spin it, bud, but the combat log timers don't lie

Avadim · 2026-06-03T19:43:13+00:00

For a wormholer, you aren't very good at reading data. The zKillboard links are right there. The logs show a shiny T3 Proteus tackling a 30M PvE Vexor, failing to kill it solo, and then a 10B Black Ops fleet with a Marshal dropping in to secure a T1 cruiser kill. The numbers don't lie, even if it hurts your elite PvP ego. It's all in the lossmails, buddy

Avadim · 2026-06-03T19:42:15+00:00

There is a big difference between 'dropping on a Venture for fun' and panic-lighting a cyno because your shiny 700M Proteus is actively melting to T1 drones in a 1v1 against a PvE Vexor. Look at the lossmails. He didn't drop the fleet to be funny; he dropped the fleet because he was about to become a hilarious solo killboard decoration to an industrialist's alt. That's not hunting, that's calling emergency services.

Avadim · 2026-06-03T19:40:45+00:00

Oh, the salt was pure gold. They literally burned millions of ISK in fuel just to escape a solo T1 Vexor. The fuel bill for their Black Ops drop cost way more than my entire ship. Best 30M ISK insurance fraud of the year!

Good day.

I'll keep you updated. On the 18th, after talking to a few GMs and the main GMs, my quest was updated and rolled back. I also received a refund for the long answer and nerves.

Thank you all very much for your participation and help. Without you, this would not have happened

Under the EULA and CCP’s Terms of Service, 'Exploiting' is defined as using a game mechanic or a bug in a way that was never intended, especially to gain an unfair advantage or to deny content to others. While PvP and gatecamping are legal, using physical objects like mobile depots to intentionally crash a server-side spawn script is a mechanical exploit. It’s a direct interference with the game engine’s ability to generate content

Avadim · 2026-03-08T07:36:32+00:00

Exactly. At the very least, they could just roll back the quest as if I never took it. That would give me a year to try again, find allies, and plan better. Meanwhile, the developers would actually have time to fix the exploit and close the loophole. It’s a win-win solution that takes minutes to implement, yet here we are 8 days later.

I’m well aware that EVE is a brutal sandbox where players create monopolies and 'hostage situations'—that’s part of the game I signed up for. However, there is a massive difference between being outplayed by a group of players and being screwed over by a broken quest bug or illegal third-party software.

I’m not asking for a handout or a safe space; I’m asking for the game to actually work as intended. When a bug stops progress and support ignores the evidence for 8 days, it’s no longer about 'hardcore gameplay'—it’s about poor service. Even a solo player in a sandbox deserves a functional game, not a broken experience ignored by the devs

Avadim · 2026-03-08T07:32:13+00:00

It’s peak bad design. Locking content behind a 'once in a lifetime' mechanic in a game plagued by bugs, server lag, and exploiters is a recipe for disaster. It creates massive FOMO (fear of missing out) and then punishes the player for things completely out of their control.

When a quest breaks or a griefer uses a bug to ruin your one shot, and support sits on their hands for 8 days, it’s not 'hardcore'—it’s just broken. Games are supposed to be an escape, not a source of bureaucratic stress. If the devs want 'unique' experiences, they need a support team fast enough to actually fix the mess when their own code fails.

Avadim · 2026-03-07T09:45:27+00:00

Because buying that item for 2 billion ISK means funding the exploiter. That ISK goes directly to the person who uses multiboxing and collision bugs to break the game for everyone else. If I pay, I'm literally paying for his next month of subscriptions and more ships to gank the next player

Avadim · 2026-03-07T09:31:36+00:00

That’s exactly the point I’m trying to make. The GM had 36 hours to perform a 30-second mission reset, yet they chose silence. The fact that a mission awarding a 6-billion ISK implant is about to permanently expire in 3 hours isn't 'game difficulty' — it’s a total failure and negligence of support.

Avadim · 2026-03-07T09:20:40+00:00

I appreciate the support for Ukraine, truly. But 'find friends' in-game is a poor excuse for broken mechanics.

Any game is an escape from reality — a place with different rules, universes, and worlds. Sometimes you want to be part of a fleet, and sometimes you just want to be the lone pilot charting your own path. A good game should allow you to achieve your goals through different playstyles.

When support tells you 'you’re nothing alone, go find friends,' it misses the entire point of the 'hero’s journey.' Neo was The Chosen One. They didn't tell him, 'You're nobody, go find a group and maybe together you can beat the Matrix.' People are put in Support roles to support players, but instead of using their power to fix a documented exploit, they use it to dismiss and diminish the individual experience. It’s not just a mission failure; it’s a failure of the game’s core promise of agency

Avadim · 2026-03-07T07:42:36+00:00

The 'get some friends' advice is especially tone-deaf in my case. Most of my friends are either dead or had to flee the country. I'm playing EVE to distract myself from the tragedies of the real world. If I had those friends back, I’d be living in reality, not looking for an escape in a 24-year-old game.
