How hard would it be to implement everyone getting a kill mail as long as they are on the kill instead of just the final blow.

The reason I'm asking is because if the final blow pilot or the pilot that lost the ship does not have an API Key on zKillboard then the kill does not show up unless you manually post it and not everyone post's there mail. Also EVE-Kill pulls from zKillboard and a lot of people only check pilot's kills via EVE-Kill, so a lot won't show up on that site because the final blow pilot or pilot killed does not have a zkillboard API.

I have talked to some 3rd party site owners and have agreed on the general idea that as long as anyone on the kill got a kill mail attached to their API then the problem described above would be fixed.

This is a technology I do not understand but was just speaking in way's that I think it work's. Anyone have input?

it would make things damn easier to link, rather than having to search for it on 3rd party sites or ask the owner of the km to link it in another convo. it would also mean u can see every kill a player is involved in on their api.

i liked the idea of an in game killboard as well

Also like it. +1.

Seems silly that only the final blow gets any recognition that they were in a fight. No, it's actually incredibly annoying and I can't believe this isn't stickied.

This is also something i have wondered for a long time. I personally see no downside to giving all people involved in the death of a ship a logged mail on there own kill log. The way i see it whether you are dps, ewar, tackle, or logi if your actions result in the death of a ship you should get a record of it just the same as the guy who happened to get the final shot off. I would however suspect that the reason it is not currently in place is simply due to it not being high on the to do list.

I like the idea. Add a search function too.

Can you provide some feedback to why you are against it? Seems like if this was implemented then it would be a great addition to those who want it and a neutral feature to those who could care less but I don't see how you could be against it.

I also suspect that is the reason as well. I think the dev's know about it but there are more important things, even though this is a feature I would love to see as long as it's easy to implement.

there's a number of hiseccers who think that killmails are the bane of eve and are the driving force behind freighters with 30b in loot getting ganked, and not, of course, the 30b in loot

I like as is, its a stupid special little surprise that you dont always get. It doesnt matter at all but at the same time it makes you go "ooh yay!".

Yea I'm not too worried about getting the actual kill mail in game, although that would be nice, but I like people to be able to see what kills I have been on. Like I said, I don't like having to rely on the final blow pilot or the pilot that lost the ship to have an API registered with a 3rd party site, which is my main point. Having the kill associated with your API even if your not the final blow is what i would like to see achieved.

You sir made my night! I really want to know if CCP has plans for something along these lines.
