Around 0000 GMT on 27 July, a large fight broke out between the Imperium and PAPI forces in 1-SMEB mostly happening on the 6Q-R50 gate. After the fight, many pilots from both sides stuck around to loot or pick off looters on grid, including myself. Taking a trusty Hecate tactical destroyer with a combat scanner probe launcher back in after the main Imperium fleet had left system, I went straight to the 6Q- gate to look for some easy frags.
Sure enough, others had the same idea. Landing on the gate, I found several pilots from NSH picking off Imperium looters and stragglers. Near a few wrecks sat two Noctis’ salvaging the unfortunate who lost their ships in the struggle. Luck had it, point was landed before either could warp. Beams and blasters made short work of the vultures. The notification feed pinged with the killmails.
Within a minute I received a DM on Discord from none other than my employer and CEO of EVE Onion, Opus Magnum, informing me I had just blown him up. Looking over the killmail at the name, I was surprised, as I hadn’t even noticed. “Lol” I replied; it was honestly kind of funny. Little did I know how unfunny it really was. “That Noctis might have been your last paycheck,” he told me, “if you hadn’t just blown it up. EVE Onion hasn’t been getting the views we need to keep the lights on, so I took the last bit in the wallet and bought that Noctis to try to earn some fast isk.”
“Lmao no way.” I nervously replied. In truth, I was sweating. If EVE Onion is really that broke, then I had no way of winning hypernet Hecates anymore as I can’t be arsed to rat!
So here I am writing the farewell article for EVE Onion (without pay of course). It’s been a good ride and easy isk, but all things must come to an end. In typical EVE Online fashion, that end was with a fiscally irresponsible CEO, and the last of the isk blown up in space.
o7 capsuleers.
So long Eve Onion! May you live on in our hearts and dreams.
Pro tip: Tell people you’ll double any money they send you, then just don’t send any back!
This is why I love Eve. I’m new to it but I can’t wait to get into all these antics.
Always confirm your targets before destroying them you absolute idiot.
