Griefings, CMDRs!

What a week this was. Many rebuys have been claimed. In fact, this week¹ has broken the record for most kills in a week, and by a long shot. This week¹, we had a total of 5.254 Kills.

I would like to congratulate every CMDR out there who has made this incredible feat possible.

I would also like to personally congratulate the following CMDRs, who have managed to get more than 500 Kills each this week¹.

  • CMDR Cobalt Viper × 534
  • CMDR A Face for Radio × 511
  • CMDR Radec. × 503
  • CMDR Ars145 × 502

In addition, I would like to congratulate CMDR Cobalt Viper for setting a new global weekly¹ record.

Some interesting figures

The Python Mk 2 was the most used ships for kills at 4.011 Logged kills, followed by the FDL at 710. The most killed ship was the Krait II with a total of 1391 Rebuys.

This week, Elite-Ranked CMDRs were both the ones killing and dying the most. Usually, Mostly Harmless CMDRs take #1 on the dying part. In fact, this Week has only had 95 Harmless kills!

The kills focused on ShinDez - that’s where the CG took place. Out of the 5254 Kills 4339 took place in ShinDez, followed by the adjacent staging system V886 Centauri with 470.

Again, thanks for reading and thank’s for making this possible.

    It is the perfect gank boat

    4× L and 2× M gives you loads of dps if you slap frags on. Plus the weight makes for a good ramming ship.

    FDL is still king for Wing Fights, But for ganking and 1v1s thr Python 2 is a better option.

      Ahh, I see. “Gank” as in “club defenseless baby seal as fast as possible and run away”? Gotcha. I used to hunt those players.
