By the end of the battle, the HoneyBadgers had killed nearly 90 CFC-owned capital vessels, including three additional titans, a terrible defeat for the CFC — all as the result of a simple misclick.

2) The Siege of X47L-Q

Aug. 2, 2018 – Imperial Legacy Coalition vs. Northern Alliances

In another fight over a Keepstar-class space station, the second of three successive fights needed to destroy the massive battle station located in the system of X47L-Q will go down in history as one of the most expensive fights ever seen in EVE Online.

This massive brawl lasted over nine hours in real time but was fought under time-dilation, an effect where the game’s simulation engine is slowed down, causing each in-game second that passes to be ten real-world seconds. This is done intentionally to help prevent lag from interfering with the battle and to make sure that commands occur in the order that players enter them, even in fights involving over 6,000 players.

By the end of the fight, 58 titans had been reduced to smoldering wreckages, along with 23 supercarriers and over 700 other assorted capital vessels. Estimates of the cost of this battle were close to 10 trillion ISK in destroyed assets.

1.) The Bloodbath of B-R5RB

Jan. 27-28, 2014 – CFC and Russian Alliances vs. N3 and Pandemic Legion

Remember the Battle of HED-GP? Well, that’s nothing when compared to the Bloodbath of B-R5RB, the king of all other EVE Online battles. The ramifications of the battle would shake the galaxy of New Eden for years to come. Once the dust settled, the financial toll of the battle made headlines all over the internet: the equivalent of over $300,000 worth of spaceships had been obliterated in a matter of hours!

75 Titan-class vessels were destroyed, along with scores of smaller ships. 59 of those ships belonged to the losing side, N3 and Pandemic Legion, leaving their fleets scrambling to recover over the next few months. The fight also marked the beginning of the end of the Halloween War and created a path to absolute victory for the CFC and the Russian Alliances.

The reason for this mind-blowing bloodbath? B-R5RB was a key staging area for the N3/Pandemic Legion alliance and was held by the in-game corporation “HAVOC.” But when HAVOC failed to pay its Sovereignty bill for the system (yes, even EVE corporations have to pay rent!), the corporation lost B-R5RB, leaving it ripe for the conquering. Once CFC scouts got word of the unclaimed system, all sides converged on B-R5RB to secure the system and turn the tide of the war. The rest is history.
