EVE Information Portal

The gain is making the data more accurate.

If you're going to add X/Y/Z data so people can create flash animations of how a battle went, it would be nice to have the explosions happen closer to the correct order. Some fights can be over in less than a minute - so a minute just isn't enough resolution to accurately see what happened.

It seems silly to me that you're taking the time now to make kill mails/reports better, yet aren't willing to put the extra effort in to improve the fundamentals. Get the data collection right first - once you're collecting the right data, then spend the time presenting that data in the best possible way to the users. If you haven't got the data collection right, then everything you do in the presentation is going to end up being a compromise.

I've not seen the code, but presumably you don't need to add that timestamp in too many places. You have a timestamp for when the kill happened, and a timestamp for when the kill report is generated. When the kill report is generated, you just need to use the time of the kill, rather than calling time() and all code from that point onwards will work as-is?

I, too, miss a reply :D

Hell yeah!!

It MUST be easy to do: the aggro mechanics show that the system already knows... All that is needed is to send this info down to the killmails!

i know if crimewatch knows the logi are doing something during agression why not have that information passed down to the killreport system.... i really hope ccp knows how big a deal this is, for logi pilots and FC's that need logi pilots this is on the level of ship spinning when it was missing lol

But what if we're in to torture?

I like that you stole a titan fit from PL that was made with the intention of mocking CCP.

This fit was to smartbomb a gate because thats all titans are good for since the nerf....

Actually, Odda violated PL Titan Gate Camping Doctrine when he did not have at least 5 other titans with him to properly cover the gate. Official Legion Titan Smartbombing Gate Camping Doctrine calls for at least half a dozen titans with similar alliance approved fits. Since he violated the Official Legion Titan Smartbombing Gate Camping Doctrine, he was ineligible for reimbursement and demoted to the rank of potato washer.

(Or maybe he just did something dumb and lost his ship....)

I meant Ingame , i know the api killog exists

There would still be room for extra features like that dog-net (forgot the URL) to sort sides for proper battlereports. I reckon that battlereports are pretty much impossible to automatically create even with the added bonus that CCP would have by knowing all the standings. In the end there is friendly fire (either on purpose or by accident). And also Things like statistics and player created intelligence sites that could feed of one official API to monitor where the action is currently happening in the eve universe.

All that stuff many have tried and battleclinc / eve-kill are the only ones that come close. But they all have incomplete data, faked data, no proper API for the cool stuffs and ofc not enough bandwidth/horsepower/manpower to pull it off.

So many awesome things could be fueled with a central complete and verified Killmail authority.

Talk to Hilmar about it. Use force or cookies if necessary. Make it happen

Yeah we're aware of some things not being correct in the kill reports but this time we were just giving them a facelift.
