Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Idea (as stated in the topic) add not successful attacks to the battle log. Log should be limited to PVP only.

So if you are slow boating (or not) and find yourself in the next station deep in structure but still alive it would be nice to see who attacked you and what weapon system was used.

Actual example: warped around in low with an interceptor and met someone playing around with area damage weapons (smartbombs). I was too fast to see what he used and didn't want to go back and ask for details because he shot away 70% of my shields with the first wave. However I would like to know what bombs he used so I can fit my ship against this kind of threats.

Are you asking for the generation of killmails even when a ship doesn't get destroyed?
No. Try using your combat logs, that's exactly what they do. You should be able to find the old ones in My Documents\EVE\logs\Gamelogs, and the logs from the current session are available in the Neocom Menu under Accessories\Log and Messages.

Checked log file and found the damage plus the type of weapon and the pilot who loved me...

Well, another detail learned.

Just locate the log files as stated, open them with a text editor and find the character (each has his own log file). Then search for lines names (combat) and you will see how much damage has been caused and what weapon was used. In my case large smartbombs with explosive and EM damage.
