Good evening, citizens of New Eden, and welcome to another thrilling edition of Metropolis News—the Night Edition, because apparently some of you just can’t sleep without a little interstellar chaos. The date is October 7, 2025, and oh what a night it’s been. While you were sipping your synthetic coffee, a staggering nineteen thousand one hundred seventy-nine immortal capsuleers decided to log in and play god with their shiny toys. And let’s not forget the five hundred twenty-four unfortunate souls who learned today that immortality has its limits—specifically, when someone else’s guns are bigger. The star of our show? None other than the lovely system of C-J6MT, where dreams go to die in a flash of light and insurance claims. Stay tuned—because out here, the only thing more predictable than death is the irony.
Kill Stories
In a stunning display of overkill, a lonely capsule pilot in Jita's Forge region was vaporized by a single Panther using Draclira's Modified Dual Heavy Beam Laser, costing the unfortunate soul over 16 billion ISK. What magnificent efficiency! Meanwhile, back in Jita's bustling marketplace of destruction, another defenseless capsule met its end courtesy of—you guessed it—a Panther with that same fancy beam laser, wiping out another 10 billion ISK investment. Because nothing says 'balanced gameplay' like one-shotting escape pods. Over in Ahbazon of Genesis region, the Torrent mining barge learned the hard way that eight ships—including a Cynabal, Cerberus, and Orthrus—were slightly excessive for its disassembly party. The final insult came from a Prophecy Navy Issue melting it with a Heavy Pulse Laser II. And finally, in C-J6MT within Insmother, fifty-three pilots decided that one Vargur marauder simply had to be nuked into scrap metal. With attackers ranging from Manticores to Brutix Navy Issues swarming like ants at a picnic, the killing blow fell from a Nemesis stealth bomber's Inferno Rage Torpedo. Truly, this is peak collaborative effort.
PvP Overview
Well, it seems the pilots of New Eden were feeling particularly homicidal today—and Sivala in The Citadel was their favorite slaughterhouse, racking up a staggering 88 kills. C-J6MT wasn't far behind with its own bloodbath of 85, proving that Insmother is living up to its ominous name. Jita managed a modest 16 kills, because even the trade hub can't resist a little casual murder between markups. Meanwhile, VR-05 enjoyed another day of blissful peace—apparently the only place where ships aren't actively trying to turn each other into scrap metal.
Mission Runner Madness
In the grand theater of New Eden, today's NPC slaughter continues to impress with its sheer scale of monotony. ZDYA-G in Paragon Soul led the charge, where pilots diligently erased 1,621 digital lives—presumably all part of a sophisticated ISK-farming regimen that passes for productivity here. Not to be outdone, JI-1UQ in Tenal chipped in with 1,520 more casualties, because why stop at mere overkill when you can turn ratting into an art form of repetitive destruction? It's almost heartwarming how these capsuleers treat mass extermination as just another checkbox on their daily to-do list.
Market Watch
In today's thrilling edition of 'Who Actually Cares About PLEX Prices?', Jita and Rens continue their valiant struggle to outpace inflation with PLEX rising a staggering 1.56% and 2.14% respectively. Meanwhile, Amarr and Dodixie remain the poster children for stability, barely mustering a 0.9% and 0.62% change—truly edge-of-your-seat volatility. Skill Injectors, ever the crowd-pleaser, flatlined across all hubs, because why inject excitement into the market when you can inject skills instead? The biggest action? Rens, where PLEX buyers apparently woke up and decided today was the day to overspend. Stay tuned for tomorrow's episode: 'Will Anyone Notice If We Stop Reporting This?'
Miners' Digest
Well, well, well, if it isn't another week of market chaos that makes mining seem like a sensible career choice. Let's dive into the carnage, shall we? Pyerite is taking a nosedive everywhere—Jita's down 15%, Amarr's plummeting 21% (ouch), and Hek's just casually losing 16%. Someone's clearly dumping stock, or maybe everyone suddenly realized pyerite is just space gravel. Meanwhile, Isogen in Hek is having a wild party with a 15.5% surge—either someone's building a secret superweapon, or the locals discovered it's good for seasoning food. Over in Amarr, Morphite's up 12%, because nothing says 'stable market' like a mineral that swings harder than a drunken pirate. And let's not ignore Megacyte in Hek, crashing 12.9% like it just remembered it's not actually rare. Jita's being... well, Jita, with Tritanium rising a whole 1.2%—try not to faint from excitement. Stay sharp, miners, because the only thing predictable here is unpredictability.
