Basic Light Damage Modifier? 1,275 ISK.
Swarm Launcher? 1,500 ISK.
Basic Gallente Medium Frame? 6,800 ISK.
Getting to see the very last swarm of rockets from your launcher barrel into a badly damage tank, ensuring its destruction and adding a nice bonus to your pay despite losing the battle? Priceless. For everything else, there's an Ishukone Sniper Rifle bullet to the face.
Winning or losing be damned, that was the most satisfying moment I've had out on the battlefield in a while. My vision was literally blacking out as I was transferred out of the body as I heard the explosion reverberate across the landscape. It probably wasn't the most expensive tank, but it was still a loud, explosive fuck-you to the driver and will definitely be something I'll cherish for like the next week and a half.
Speaking of explosions, I was privy to a rather large one not too far from where I live today. Not sure if it was a newbie capsuleer who wasn't aware of the rules or a veteran that was either tricked or simply forgot where he was, but either way CONCORD came down on a ship out there like the fist of an angry god. I doubt I'd have seen it unless I'd been jogging by a window when it happened, but holy shit was it something to behold. No sound, of course, but the light display was certainly something to marvel at. Even compared to seeing orbital strikes get called down (which I'm usually too busy running away from to really look at) aren't quite as marvelous as seeing one of those bastards get blown sky high, piddling back to the station in one of their capsules to outfit themselves in another ship. It was probably insured, but it was still fun to watch him or her get blown up. Nothing like an outer space explosion to soothe the savage sociopath, or something like that. I probably borked the saying a little. Ah well.
