Frank Yeager

Before TNF

Frank Yeager has been in New Eden since January 2024, starting in the Science and Trade Institute, the Caldari starter school. Three days later came the first player corp, HALO - United Nations Space Command. After a return to the Science and Trade Institute in mid 2024, Frank joined New Eden Library and then Space Mob in January 2025, and moved into Industrial Mining and Mayhem in April 2025.

Joining TNF

Frank first flew with TNF in January 2026, transferring in from another corp. SadisticSloth got the first word in (“welcome to the madhouse”), and Odysemus noted that Frank already “knows the song and dance” (Faces of TNF: Recruiters, Newbros and Vikings). A week or so later Frank was asking the important question, quoted at the top of this page.

In the fleet

Frank has 2,055 kills on the TNF record, 1,173 of them in 2026, on mails worth more than 1.8 trillion ISK combined. Four are solo kills.

Two stand out, and both are Phoenix Navy Issue dreadnoughts with Frank as the only TNF name on the mail: one in June 2026 worth about 8 billion ISK, and another in July that the newsroom crowned July’s best in Kills of the quarter: July to September 2026.

January 2026, the month of the move, was a big one on the record:

• a Keepstar on 13 January, about 255 billion ISK, with a Thanatos carrier the same day
• a Zirnitra dreadnought and an Archon carrier on 10 January
• on 17 January, a Raitaru and two Athanors, one and another
• a Fortizar on 28 January

Later came a Revelation dreadnought in June 2026 and another Athanor in July.

By the numbers

Combat battlecruisers are the favourite target since October 2025: 358 of them, well ahead of battleships (170) and cruisers (167). The single most killed hull is the Ferox, at 192, followed by Maelstroms (99) and Retributions (62). Drake Navy Issues (59) and Zealots (26) also feature. Milestones: 100, 500 and 1,000 kills.

Where they shine

Frank also has the healthiest attitude in corp chat about overview settings: “I think mines messed up and im not that smart to correct it.” The killboard suggests otherwise.
