    The kill mail here – http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=14947130

    Basically expensive cargo flying around in a frigate, and he gets killed. What an idiot, lol etc, but ouch!

    Does the person who killed him get the loot?!

    he will get some of it yeah. but there is a chance when a ship is destroyed for the items it is carrying to be destroyed.

    the guy flying it is a total idiot, carrying that much cargo in a shitty ship with zero survivability through space where anyone can shoot them. hopefully they learnt a lesson from it 🙂

    The guy in question alleges that he got his stuff back as his account was hacked but i don’t buy it. From personal experience, CCP will only refund items that were destroyed, never items that were dropped and looted by other players.

    Sounds like he’s just trying to hide his shame.

    idiot.

    I love the harsh attitude of the general eve community.

    Can’t see how this is worth $6400? 5 billion in EVE is worth about $170 dollars..

    it was worth a lot more than 5 bill, most of the BPs dont have a price next to them in that killmail.

    Update: Further research by CCP shows “quite inflated” discrepancies between EVE-Kill’s now-updated entry of the kill and the actual server data. CCP Senior Public Relations Specialist Ned Coker told PC Gamer the website’s kill notification could’ve mishandled the data fed by EVE Online’s API verification and substituted priceless blueprint originals contained within the cargo instead of cheap copies.

    Alternatively, Coker suggested an inaccurate manual posting at the time of the kill would skew numbers upwards, saying, “While still a quite notable kill of an unfit frigate full of blueprint copies and originals, it’s safe to say it’s actually a exponentially less impactful loss, and that other killboard estimates of the same kill nearer the 5-10 billion ISK range are closer to the actual value in our databases depending on the market.” EVE-Kill’s updated estimate places total ISK loss at a more probable—yet still impressive—5.3 billion, or $173.
