this has been posted soooo many times

and DEVs denied it

but no matter what, this really should happen.
After all what people look for is glory and/or ISK, ISK hoarders suck, increase glory factor. Get Logis on KMs!

(not to mention that KMs are the common way to see fleet participation in SOVwar)

there was so much "but we cant do this should we count all repped amount, blah blah" whining about this in the past...

simply adding them with 0 damage (like EWAR) as soon as any damage dealer they repped gets on a killmail and all is fine ... cant be that difficult

whoever decides not to shoot stuff but taking the long logi training should be rewarded with tons of killmails

T1 logi cruisers with bonus to logi drones that noone will ever use because everyone will want to get on the killmails.

remove killmails

this.


Just a tool really that grew out of hand in performance metrics. Hell, not even an accurate tool. back in 0.0 days on a campaign going off purely KM/kb performance I sucked ass for 2 weeks once if performance based on them.

Not on them, as a loss or killer.

Reason: I was basically on purerly uncontested bash ops that were only the 1st stage, reffing the pos. timers ran out off imy game time, someone else got to ho the pos mod km's. No enemies to kill....reffing a pos gets you 0 km's. shoot till timere comes up...move on to next. All this whining about logis....shiiiii....try blowing millioins in ammo nighltly for days on end actually hititng targets, and not getting any credit for it.

good logi's get their due credit in other ways. Many logi's who were johnny on the spot night after night, you got their back as a form of thanks.

I would much rather see logis on friendly mails instead of on hostile mails, for a few reasons. First of all, it should be a lot simpler to integrate on an already existing platform rather than changing RR aggression mechanics around. Second, and most importantly, it would provide a valuable metric to judge logi pilots by.

Feel like you died because logi didnt rep you? Easy to go back to a battle report and sort by "reps applied" to yell at all those in the bottom.

Sure, with this system the logi pilot will not get on all the killmails that the offensive ships receive, but nonetheless they will be represented and at the end of the day the pilot did choose to fly a support ship over the rest.

Do you mean like on the kills, of the ships, which the logi repped, which got on a kill?

If so, this would be a marvellous mechanic for ships on remote sensor booster duties and the remote ECCM.

Damage drones mechanics seem to do something similar when they assist someone, the drone launcher gets on the KM.

Well actually it would fit to add a whole fleet to the Killmail. Anyone in fleet actively participated in blowing something up so everyone should be added.

For performance NOBODY cares about how many damage somebody did => remove it. This occasionally leads to "lol, look at how much damage that little rifter did" but seriously, who would miss it...

Who got the credit for allegedly (word used in honour of all the paranoid out there) snuffing Osama Bin Laden?

That is right, Seal Team 6.

Not the grunt who unpacked the shipping container used to lug their gear around.
Not the cook who made their breakfast.
Not even the guy who pinpointed the location on a satellite image.

If you want credit for a kill, grab a damn gun!

There is absolutely nothing preventing current 'team medics' from strapping that gun on, mail whoring is as old as time and doesn't even require any actual damage be done .. question is if your team wants you as a 'medic' if you run waving that gun around just so you can say "I was there".

In short: System already allows mails for everyone involved in primary combat ops (links are not involved), it does however require you to make some sort of sacrifice, be it a token whoring gun or drones.
