is possible to add a simple counter that tell every isk you made with that ship?

Example:

Dominix (shipname) : Bounty claimed 123456.99 isk

we can put this on fitting window or wherever you like

so we can see the return of investment made on blingy pve ships :D

Would that include bounties from players and the cost of ships killed? or modules dropped? Ofc you could always look at the green numbers in wallet journal, and market prices. Unless you want it for ratting/bounty collecting only

How about NO, You can easily track this yourself.

Even if they did
What market would they use to figure the costs?
What does this system do if an item you destroyed is not listed in that market?
Would that number really reflect the true value of what you destroyed in your area of space?
How does this make the game better for all and not just you? Just wondering because no one I know in the game gives a damn about which ship they use, only the total of all things.

What market? ISK rewards received on bounties only.
What market or items? This isn't receiving ISK
It's not a request for PvP related activities
It's entertaining information for people who rat, mostly, though player bounties would be included. Another bit of lube with which to stroke your epeen. Lots and lots of people fly PvE, but there is not killmails to warm them at night.

should be only a bounty tracker... not a killboard isk efficency tracker..

i think will be rather simple to add.

sometime you know we play different things... sometimes we do ratting , sometime we do pvp , sometime exploration. and cannot simply take the journal and do the math.. i mean.. is boring.

this idea is mostly for pve entertainment but can be added also for pvp ship that kill player with bounties

i mean if i spent 4b (example) in a ship for ratting or incursion it can be fun and useful to see how much isk is making that ship.

also for pvp if i kill multiple player during the life of a single ship it can be interesting to see "wow this ship has claimed 200m for headunting" and you can maybe have your lucky veteran "headhunter" ship.

this feature with the dirt/rust texture can give more deepness on the story of a single ship....

"i have this ship from 2012... is totally rusted but granted me 24b in ratting, and still rocks"

Your wallet quickly and easily shows you how much ISK you have made, if it is critical to you which ship made how much of that ISK then track it for yourself it really is extremely easy to do and all the information easy to access.

If this tracks PvE activities only then you get a -1 for an I am lazy idea and another -1 for a I want this for me but I do not care if it works for any one else..

Ignoring any and all of that you still have not answered the questions asked.
There are many factors that affect how much ISK we make from our activities that go beyond simple bounties and bonuses given to ratters or mission runners and you failed to answer the questions asked specifically to address those aspect of your proposal.

If your idea does not take all of these other factors into account it is only valid for your specific use and this brings us back to -1 for lazy.

Retool your idea so it would work for all players in the game and for all circumstances and I may change my mind and support this.

Despite enteraining values, how do we benefit from that? My tinfoil hat tells me something about sad hamsters Sad
