How is it in any way appropriate to give away that kind of information to someone because they lost a ship? Getting blown up should not have that kind of benefit.



The killmail of the rifter would not show the entire fleet unless the entire fleet assisted in the kill of the rifter. The killmail should give an accurate history of what happened, not an inaccurate one.

There is nothing inherently unfair about making killmails accurate. These things are really pretty obvious unless you have grown accustomed to hiding your neutral alts, in order to chest beat about inaccurate killmails.


Going from the fact that you apparently didn't understand what I was talking about you've never been in a fleet that had seperate squad, wing and fleet commanders or a fleet booster.

Also you can accuse me whatever you want, I have exactly one account.

I have been in those fleets, and I still want killmails to be accurate.

So when you get blown up you want everyone in space to know who your squad, wing and fleet commanders were? In the middle of a fight you want people to be able to know who to shoot so that your squad stops getting bonuses?

The hierarchical nature of fleet structures. If you get killmails telling you who was giving bonuses then as soon as you get a killmail during an engagement you know which person you have to kill to remove bonuses from at least an entire squad.

i must say this needs to be a high priority, the server already knows the agression mechanics of those repping each other, so if i rep a person that gets on a km i should show on that km... this will both make logistics more popular, and also mean that logistics pilots can focus on logistics vs killmail whoring with a railgun just so that their ceo's and such know they are actually participating...

Yes this would mean logi pilots would be on almost all killmails.. but thats fine i don't fly logi, but they are the backbone of any major fleet they deserve to be shown.

So there will be a new breed of KM-hores with rep modules instead of weapons getting in on the kill without getting a GCC in high sec.

They'll call it "ninja killmailing".

Nope... as second post said, remote repping guy should get same agression as the guy shooting... this includes GCC (which they already get you tard :))))))

Also +1 for adding logistics to killmails but add it together with the agression :)

I think this is a fantastic idea.

And yes, it's because I primarily fly Logi.

The fact is, while most of us who are experienced with Logi ship know when its safe to killmail whore and when not to aggress, the point is that aggressing to get included on a killmail puts yourself and your fleet at risk. I think any existing situation that forces pilots to choose between safety for their fleet and some credit for a kill is a losing battle. Too many players go for the kill, and can screw their fleet over in the process.

Drones are risky, and really, drone bays on Logistics should be used for repair drones anyways. Adding Logistics to killmails would reduce the number of foolish moves in fleets, and ensure that Logistics pilots bring a that best supports their fleet, instead of a fit that exists just to obtain credit for being there.

Really depends on the size of fleets you fly with. In major (300+) engagements, armor/shield drones do nothing. On the other hand, having every logi drop 5 EC-300's on opposing logi can make a huge difference.

For small engagements, a flight of 5 warriors can turn the tide as they assist interceptors wrecking opposing tackle and dealing fast DPS on gates.

It's all about using the right tool.

On the other hand I have to agree that having me show up on KM's without using a whore gun, would mean I could add a 4th repper which would increase my effectiveness by something like 15% after cap is taken into account, so that would be good.

It shouldn't because it would just be a pointless addition, solely existing to appease killboard padding mouthbreathers.

Although I suspect that anything that would fix broken empire RR mechanics would have the same effect so v0v

Quoting because pro-pvp'ers stop in the middle of a firefight to check lossmails. Nothing says "fighting a difficult battle" like stopping to scour killboards for real-time pvp information.

In other news, water is wet! And, idiots don't understand sarcasm! I bet you guys didn't know that.

I disagree. I don't give two ***** about collecting killmails, but it would be nice to have some way to show fleet participation as a logi pilot. If someone can come up with a better way to accomplish that goal, fine by me.
