Home » Games News » EVE Online : Ship Destruction Stats
It was November of 2004, and CCP had just released the brand new Exodus expansion a couple of days beforehand. With extreme confidence, I dock up in Yulai X - DED Assembly Plant and purchased for myself one of the newly released ships, a Catalyst class destroyer. I then proceeded to spend over ten million ISK fitting the newest tech two modules to it.
I went forth, in search of war targets of my corporation at the time, and at the second gate I came to, I found an enemy interceptor. Still feeling confident - a destroyer is meant for killing smaller targets after all, I locked on, warp scrambled him and started firing. Certain of victory, with all eight blasters ablaze, I watched the shields and armor of my opponent rapidly fall. Not paying enough attention to the status of my own ship, I didn't notice the dire straits I was in until it was too late. I saw my ship explode, and realized just how essential fitting a stasis webifier when fighting interceptor class frigates really is. But that was ok, I didn't want that ship anyway. Or so I told myself, as I logged out in a fit of nerd rage, but not before a decent bout of local smacktalk though.
