Not supported, ESPECIALLY if you're dumb enough to propose it be somehow persistent and non-optional.


No because of this -^
It hs always amazed me at how much information people in this game are willing to freely give away simply because it would be cool.
Kill boards are another of those really bad ideas that fall into this category. If we are going to fight I want you to know as little about me as possible, and if you know nothing but my name that is the ultimate goal. However kill boards make huge mountains of evidence available to those who are willing to look at it.

Also with a respectful nod to the post above mine outlining some of the problems with this sort of idea, but I would find it funny/cool to implement this on Concord ships. Imagine a Concord fleet captain in a particular system kills of a certain number of criminals, marks and info on his hull (and perhaps when you click on that NPC in space), eventually he gets a promotion and gets a bigger ship...

It's just fluff of course, impossible to code and a waste of time. But damn it'd be interesting to have legacy NPCs in systems.

Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

Yeah, why not?

I imagine it being both present on the ship's hull and info page. For the hull, it could be either an automated-update decal on a visible place, or an optional one to come as part of SKINs.

I also think it should be available only to top damage and killing blows. Although regular assists could have their own decal. This would also reward logistics pilots!

-1 you can hardly see the guns on your ship much less be able to see a decal of tally marks
