Payout A ESI-derived / official
- Ore value
- 565,725,400 ISK (565.7M)
- Blue loot (defenders)
- 2,000,000 ISK (2M)
Two separate payouts. The ore in the site is the reason to come: ~566M ISK at the sheet's live prices. Killing the Sleeper defenders drops a further ~2.0M ISK in blue loot. Recheck prices before planning income, they move; the manifest quantities are the stable part.
