now then, why didn’t they use the Dread to blast the station, and the local jump gate, to bits on the way out?

Athel: Dreadnoughts are the pinnacle of ships at the moment. The Death Star analogy would be good, if it were not for the fact that the bigger Titans are on their way, complete with super-weapons.

Dreads are more valuable than starbases like the one this was stolen from, but not as big a project to build as an outpost station.

Dreads in Eve are similar to EA HQ orbiting Earth.

So the bulkish square ships I guess in that picture of ship sizes are the cargo ships, the ones below the dreadnaught in the first left frame.

I guess seeing a dreadnaught is like seeing the Death Star or something, so massive it is breathtaking and scary. Is it the ultimate pinnacle and ship in the game or are stations more expensive?

Cool! How very inventive of them! Kudos. And anyone who leaves an unsecured Dread lying around is asking for it, frankly. Don’t they know there’s a war on?

ISK are cheap right now, selling for about $0.30 a million on eBay. Which means a fully kitted-out dread worth some 5 billion ISK would be worth about $1,500 in the so-called “real world” currency known as the U.S. dollar.

Not bad…

For those of us that don’t read the currency exchange rates every morning, what is the value of the heist in Lindens or that archaic currency: the US Dollar.
