I think it would be nice to know when (and maybe who) built the ship you piloting. Like: 'Made in 15 may 2007 by xxx". And also include that information in kill mail.

Not feasible due to how repackaged items are handled.

This would force every ship to have a unique entry in the database, preventing any and all ships from being repacked, stacked, or put in the market. EVE item data just isn't stored in a way that facilitates this.

C'mon people. You know you'd pay more for an exclusive Navy Raven that had the label, 'Crafted by Mr Epeen' attached to it.

Actually I'd avoid that one lolol...

I'd rather the engines didn't fall off before i even undocked.

I don't see a problem with it adding that meta data, but as others have pointed it, it would be hard to accomplish without breaking the way repackaging and stacking works.

If CCP ever started tracking how old in-game items are, I will start to worry. They might someday decide items should take ware, beyond what can be repaired, and once an item becomes too worn out, it will start losing effectiveness and will need to be reprocessed. I am in no means suggesting I want this, but I could see it being added at some point as a way to curb supercapital proliferation.

I would fly an REI (Raven Epeen Issue) just for the Peen part.

With a game like EvE that could cause a trader to be war decced.

In WoW I like it, as it can drum up business. In EvE, let's keep it a nice secret. Blink

Or in Eve it could be used as marketing tool to get more people to buy your ships. Makes more sense in Eve then in WoW. Just in Eve there is risks involved with self promotion Pirate.

Very interesting idea. Also it's very common - names of makers all over weapons in MMO games for like 5 years already. Knowing CCP's pace of work I expect it to be new EVE expansion theme - in next decade.

Yeah...how about no.

I dont want to fly around in a ship with a big label on it that says 'Built by ****lover6969696420yoloswaglol on 4/20/2013"

just NO.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

A new EXPANSION Coming to Eve in the Summer 2015 "Ship Tags"... will also have POS redesign... POS redesign cancelled.

A decade is probably the timeframe required for a complete rewrite of the item management system; a complete replacement of the item database; and for the hardware upgrades needed to handle the new data shuffling requirements.

It's also a pretty significant waste of time for something that offers no real benefit and only serves to make things more complicated and slow. It's a neat idea, but it's simply not feasible.
