Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So this one is a idea I have had for a while and think would be a amazing change to some new kind of space or a modification to a existing region.

Basically the point is to have a environment where a different meta is created by the lack of killmails both ones for killing and ones from losing.

As a NPSI FC I see the killmail whoring and the I must have killmail stuff more than probably most. But its everywhere. This would create a new environment that would have its own meta style form with its inhabitants.

So super simple idea. Have at it.

*Edit*
I suppose I should clarify, By new meta I don't mean ship doctrines, I mean the way we play the game, and why.

Well you dont have to "broadcast" your fits to everyone once the first of your shiney new fits explodes... Now they need to open 3 wrecks to see the modules you used to make it when they drop off the broken hulk that used to be my spaceboat...

I also hate killmails, but they are a pretty much inextricable part of the game. They just give away so much intelligence for so little effort. For that matter, I hate local, the in-game map, and Dotlan too.

You cannot be serious. ALL of the PvP players I know are constantly looking at KB to find the ships a person prefers to fly and more importantly from the loses side the fits they have been flying. Removing this free source of valuable intel and you will alter the very basic nature of many if not most of the PvP engagements in the game especially the solo, small group or small fleet varieties. Better for the game or not I have no idea but like others here I would like to find out.

As a pilot why would I want to give you free and easy to get information on my abilities, my preferred ships and fits etc, doing so makes no sense from a combat perspective. When ranking the value of intel in combat operations Gen. Patton believed the only thing more important than discovering your enemies strengths and weaknesses was preventing your enemy from discovering yours. And yet the KM and KB make this valuable information readily available to anyone who bothers to look for it. Idiotic is the best word I can think of to describe the KM, KB concept that we have in EvE and it is one of the major reasons that I do not PvP in this game you have way to much intel on me before the fight ever begins. Yep you are right, I would be blinded by this as well and that is the way I prefer it, let us find out who is better, smarter or faster on the fields of battle, not by who can or will spend the most time researching opponents on the internet.

The only thing the KM, KB concept in this game gives us (other than handing out free intel) is the ability to pat oneself on the back, stand up a little straighter, stick out your chest and say "I am better than you because of this(pointing at computer screen and worthless numbers)"

No let us return to the ways of the old west were you were known by reputation and feared as a result of it, or your were a complete unknown, someone out to make a reputation or die trying.

Actually, I'd say 1v1s and ransoms would get even rarer, because without killmails there's even less way to verify if the people in question honor them.

And motivate even more people to do it for the "fun" of winning unfair battles. For every people who want too many kill mails there is one who won't do stuff because KM tell more of the story than what he's willing to tell.

Ransoms don't exist because there's no benefit to not killing the guy anyway, 1v1s exist but different people have different definitions of "one".
