Earlier today, the first Revenant class Super Carrier exploded in a fiery ball of death in EVE Online. This particular class of spaceship is extremely expensive (and pretty rare) in game and in real world money is worth a few thousand US dollars. It was the victim of a successful AWOX attempt. AWOX'ing is when an enemy spy either causes the target to be in a vulnerable position or finds it in one and then proceeds to call in a fleet to destroy the target. AWOX'ing targets are usually faction battleships, freighters and jump freighters and capital ships. The Revenant belongs to the later class, capitals. Every capital in the game is worth over 1,000,000,000,000 (One Billion) ISK, which is the in game currency of EVE. And $20USD roughly converts to 1.2Bil ISK. Thats enough for the hull of a cheap dreadnought or carrier, let alone modules to put on it. I hope Pandemic Legion (the faction that lost the Revenant) learns from this and recruits more carefully in the future. It would be a shame to lose another super expensive asset.
I have recently been playing a bit of Dr. Mundo on the Oceanic server, but have been running into an annoying dilemma. The enemy team either wins or surrenders before I can complete my fourth item whenever I play Mundo. I rush Warmogs followed by Mercury Treads with the Furor enchantment and then a Blood Thirster! At this point the game is normally around 25:00. I plan to build Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Randuins Omen and Spirit Visage after the Blood Thirster but I never get around to it. Hopefully I'll have better luck soon.
