don't know why there is no official Stats site, no official killboard? could be added ingame or onto EvE Online website... with all the character information and stuff corp and alliances, maybe if some do not want it for their character optional to turn it on or off!

Just add it to the character sheet in game, then make an official site available as part of Eve Gate out of game for those who feed off killboard e-peen.

Won't do it dude. That would be crapping on the third-party guys like Chribba who have done a lot to help EVE over the course of it's 10 years. Last time I checked, CCP supported the third party guys in their endeavors. Just saying.

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

If they add it, participation should be optional like certificates - aka turn it off like everyone else and pretend that once it was a "thing"

Why bother when 3rd parties are doing a fine job with their own killboards? It's also a feature you need to commit to fully, if you're going to do it at all. CCP developers would need to keep it updated and working constantly as long as this game lasts and they have a horrible record doing that with their web team. These kind of features don't really need CCP devs to do and I'd actually trust 3rd parties more with them, since they atleast are timely in updating them as things change with the game.

Company does itself, Costs to make + monthly fee = $ 35000
Company let 3rd party do it, only server to send api = $ 1500

Why wouldn't this one satisfy you?

This being said 100 FOF faction missiles worth of 20Bil isk doesn't makes it serious, I agree on this.

you have a combat log, the corp has it also in the war section. A search in those logs would be cool but thats it IMO.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Because it has a horrible design and layout?

All the existing killboards are terrible. The old KB software, like used by eve-kill and many others, is totally outdated and cannot handle the many millions of kills of EVE's history. So eve-kill had to make modifications and show only a small segment of a pilot's history at a time.

And let's not even talk about Battleclinic... Ugh

That is right! We support our 3rd party developers considerably and also our EVE Fansites in general. Seeing the passion and dedication for EVE Online combined with deep knowledge and incredible skills is just stunning and wonderful.

Again I would like to shout a big "Thank you!" for all these amazing sites, apps and initiatives and especially to the people behind all these projects.

Indeed.

Bet Eve nerds are special nerds, they're never happy and always ask for more. Bear

this would be pretty automated so after developement just basic maintainance, 3rd party sites are a problem because you have to seperatly register for it, so the database will be never complete

If you support them, why can't I post kill mail links from those sites in this forum?
