I think this would be neat.

Basically, when you have a single ship and get kills with it it keeps tracks. So you will see the ships veterancy, such as "You got 21 kills with this Drake, the most kills you've ever gotten with a single Drake is 25."

Could create a veterancy tab somewhere and give a lot of stats like this. Other than info it shouldn't do anything. Just some neat statistics.

A kill should be anything not a pod/shuttle/rookie ship that you got on the kill mail for. Pod kills could be tracked separately, though.

I honestly don't see this happening. It would require that the server pull info each time a ship enter grid... and thus would consume large resources whe you have large 100+ man fights.... all for a bit o fluff.

How did you Veterans start?

"Heavy missile fired by your Drake scratched 21 ships, which are then killed by Maelstrom 1400mm artillery."

It's like kms, useful for epeen purposes/self deception.Roll

Get a pad of paper or an Excel spreadsheet and you can do this yourself. No need to waste dev time or server power on something that doesn't help the game at all when you can do it all yourself.

Yes...unnecessary...go program your own damn killboard and go hog wild with statistics to your wildest dreams and leave the dev's out of this tripe. They already have enough to deal with.

You got the API library's....stop being lazy and get off your @$$.

Don't know how to program? Well get busy...no one got anywhere doing nothing.

I have always loved the idea of stats being kept on ships. Ie, who manufactured it, number of final blows, age of ship, etc etc.

But due to some rather unavoidable programming issues this will probably never be a good idea.
