Warfare & Tactics

Ever find yourself looking at a killmail and thinking how exactly that heron killed that vagabond or record of those two Deacons uncloaking when you engage that destroyer in a small plex or more so having an awesome fight which ends in no killmail?

While cyno kills (it’s the law when at non-public citadels or stations), ganks (purging of the stupid) and smartbombing pods (there is always one) makes it on to the killboard, so many fights and the details are missed.

We have enough information recorded by the system surely…. Total Tank, Damage (per Hit), Rep (Raw), Distances from damage calc, Pilot commands from direction click, orbit, approach, Overload from damage calc, Module effect - Scram/Neut, etc. Surely if this information was released, maybe more, some awesome techy dude could process into a simple simulation?

I think this would be awesome to remember all the good times unrecorded and also understand what peeps did during the fight and how you can improve yourself.

Kill reports have far more potential than is currently realised for story telling.

It's great that people can tell the story but info about the fights could easily be enriched by enhanced kill reports and a new evolution of killboards.

Time of first aggression for each combatant on the killmail.
Duration of warp disruptor / warp scram held.
Remote repairs HP value (-ve damage perhaps?)
Local repairs HP value
Boosters & link affects active on the aggressors and the victim

Imagine the TiDi though as we spam even more stuff into CCP's servers. What CCP needs to fix is the number cap of pilots on a single killmail.

Okay
