Just the Jackdaws The wormhole took them. Jesus, so many errors in this article. For example. I created Burn Jita and fit the 14k Ships solo for the first. Which at the time took weeks due to horrid ingame mechanics. As for other unspecified errors, the article simply cites the memories of current MiniLuv FCs and other accounts contemporary to the events.

This exactly why it has errors. Literally everyone involved in current BJs had nothing to do with the original. Hence, you shoulda went to one of the originals around at that point for your information. You coulda read any of the articles from back then also for the timely and current story at the original. I found it fascinating. Thanks for the content and generating interest to the game for new players.

And even then it quickly became more akin to something like an annual fishing trip or weekend in Vegas with friends, a change of pace, a bit of a wild time, and something of a bonding experience. There is a pretty big fan base for making expensive things blow up in the coalition.

At least that is my view as a line member. And keeping the fans of explosions happy is a coalition priority because that is the core of the people who will show up if there is a war.

Right now things are very quiet. So Burn Jita seems like a timely idea right now. So instead the GEF… the opt-in home for those of us who only log in to see things explode but are too lazy for the more intense SIGs… will get shipped off to some place in null sec to make trouble, shoot structure, and hope for a fight. Maybe something will blow up. Like Liked by 1 person. I pass suicide ganking camps almost every time I travel to or between Trade Hubs.

I have the main organisations and their scouts flagged. They are common at any time of the day or week, and have been relentless this year. I see your Goons regularly. As such, the dumber haulers are culled all the time. That probably make Burn Jita less profitable — although frankly I am not sure that was the point of Burn Jita, since they killed just as many empty haulers as full ones.

One could argue all about sandbox and PvP and so on, but I still think this was started by the back then single most powerful and organized group in the game and the people who had the most damages were the casual solo players who might even not have read the fan sites or forums and got caught in the cold.

Yes, I know, preparation, carefulness, etc. Also to evehermit, how do you define these dumb haulers? Evehermit — I suppose the simple way to look at it is that day to day ganking is business and Burn Jita is a party.

Nogamara — Ganking along trade routes is done for profit, so you have to be carrying enough cargo to make it worth losing the ships it will take to blow you up. True story. EVE Uni has an article about suicide ganking that describes some of the gankers calculation and tactics as well as where the tend to hunt.

My feelings at the time were that the pubbies had finally, after 7 years, caught on to what was happening and knew what Burn Jita means. Nogamara — there are no ships you can fly, no value in cargo you can carry, no fittings you can use which make you immune to hi-sec gankers.

The total damage inflicted over the three day event amounted to 45,, hit points delivered in , distinct hits. As you'd expect, market orders placed in Jita fell through the floor for the duration.
