CCP, can you please start including Kill Mail link details in Bounty Claimed Notifications for people you put a bounty on? I love getting the bounty claimed notifications for certain adversaries but I always end up having to check a third party kill board for details about what they lost.

If I'm contributing to the bounty on someone's head and they get popped, should that not at least buy a kill mail link within the game?

Thanks for giving the idea a look.

P.S. I'm sure this has been brought up before by someone but my initial search turned up nothing. If anyone has links to older / similar forum posts please share.

I don't recall ever reading anything like this on the forums before, but I really like this idea. +1

EDIT: on further consideration, I have concerns about the free intel this would provide. Still like the idea though. One workaround would be to delay all "bounty claimed" notifications by 24 hours so that the value of any intel from the killmail would be mitigated.

Thanks for the +1

True it's intel, but at present it is often intel readily available on third party kill boards if you know how to look, I just want to simplify the process and avoid leaving the client or using the browser.

And in the even that it is not on a third party KB, its at least not free intel... It's intel you had to pay for (via the bounty) and also had to have someone else actually pop the person to get it as well.

From a pay for intel perspective I also see my proposed idea as less powerful but perhaps more accessible than the locator agents that already exist in game.

Not a bad idea. Wouldn't mind seeing this included in game myself.

Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

Support better localization for the Japanese Community.
