At 17:30 EVE time today a Moracha was downed in Hevrice, a system in Verge Vendor. A Moracha is a very valuable Alliance Tournament ship and this is only the 3rd one ever to be killed. Given as prizes in Alliance Tournament XI back in 2013 the hull has a value of 125 Billion ISK.
The UniWiki describes the Moracha as:
The Moracha is what goes bump in the night. Built to be the ultimate tool of piracy and terror, this Recon Ship combines the electronic warfare and covert abilities of its class with the speed and ferocity that Angel Cartel cruisers are known for. The first ever capsuleer ship to use the Ixion ship hull, the distinctive appearance of the Moracha goes along with incredible combat capabilities that make it ideal for both solo and wolfpack hunting.
Julius Foederatus, commander of the Spiritus Draconis fleet responsible for killing the Moracha, was unavailable for comment. I was forwarded to this interview with him by another pilot involved on the kill, . The original interview can be found here.
Paquito is reportedly one of the most hated pilots in low-sec, yet he has my respect for taking the Moracha out at a time when far too many pilots in EVE are risk averse. What is your opinion on Paquito, and the Moracha loss?
