So far over $500,000+ usd lost so far.
"Here's how it went down. Corporation Nulli owned a station. Which gave them ownership of an entire sector. That's a big deal. Their corporate ally PL was tationed there and had lots of assets there. Nulli "forgot to pay rent" So then... The space-station became unowned. Except all of PLs assets housed there remained there. Another corporation, RUS was near, saw this going, and swooped in to take the station. They succeeded. PL came back with guns to take it back from RUS. To get their stuff back. PL also got their ally Nulli to help them. When that happened. RUS called their ally CFC. Normally, these kinds of things happen between smaller ships. And one team will either leave or win. But both sides refused to back down. And the fight continued to escalate continually. Until we have what you see now. Currently 2160 people. In a pitched war."
The largest ships you see there are Titans. They take over a year to skill into and over a month to build, requiring the effort of entire corporations and alliances to complete. Their role on the field is to boost their fleet's stats, open jump portals to bridge in other fleets, and to fire large beams of death capable of one-shotting inferior ships.The other smaller ships you see are Dreadnaughts - large ships designed for prolonged bombardments - and Carriers - large support vessels with a complement of AI controlled fighters. Half of the fleet is composed of "sub-capitals" - everything from Frigates to Cruisers to Battleships. They are too small to see in comparison at this zoom level.
Frigates are ~50 meters, Battleships are ~1000m, and Titans are ~15km long.
Every ship on the field is controlled by an individual player - there are around 2000 of them at the time this screenshot was taken.
