Cool video.

And by the time it was over, nearly 100 “super-capital” ships worth about 100 billion ISK each had been destroyed, as well as nearly 500 capital ships worth anywhere from two to five billion ISK each. Total cost of the ships destroyed in this battle? 10 trillion (with a T!) ISK.

With a “good” in-game income source, you could pay that cost in something over 11 years of continuous EVE play, assuming you were able to play the game 24 hours per day for that 11 years. Or if you tried to pay that cost buying CCP’s in-game currency, that would set you back some $300,000 U.S. It will take EVE’s ship-builders months or years to build replacements.

Well, at least they received a memorial.
Time to start grinding....
