Crime & Punishment

all squids needs to die.

It greatly depends on the story behind it.

I've seen kills worth tens of billions that amounted to "wow, that idiot put all his everything in his officer fitted mission ship during a war, what an idiot". We look at those kills and laugh about them, but in a day or two it's just another shiny kill thanks to a foolish pilot.

I've also seen much less expensive kills that took far more effort or had much more entertaining context. Like the guys who sell ORE Strip Miners and then gank the buyers, only to loot and resell the items so they can gank the next buyer. What is compelling about a lot of kills isn't the isk value, but the facts surrounding them.

The battle and the story around it is always more interesting than the ISK value of the equipment used and/or destroyed. Anybody can throw ISK at fights and brag or cry about it, but a gripping tale is well worth the read.

ISD Flowingspice,
The correct answer is "numbnuttery".

We want to be entertained. We want kills where there is a punchline or a big surprise.

Ex: When a battle badger smoked a baiting rifter (back when high sec was about fighting). When a single ship takes down a fleet. When a velator with reps takes down a raven.

If you want to experience it firsthand, let me know. You guys really need to learn about the game you have destroyed with the last few years of nerfs.

When I started pvp I remember my winning first battle. I was in a dominix and I had 2 hurricanes for support...good swiss buddies I haven't talk to for years. Well anyways, We beat a force double the size of our own and I will describe how it felt.

We were pizzing our pants thinking we were gonna get smoked. Our ships were fit terribly, I guess my only boon was that I had heavy drones maxxed out. When the fight started going our way we felt such an elation of joy. We were laughing on comms as the ships went down, and I felt such an adrenaline rush(I was shaking), being I was leading our squad. They had war decced us but we never saw them again. This is when I decided pvp was for me, although Eve offers many other interesting activities.

I'm with you on this point kill mail is all you need, I started around the same time, and it was action that made your name, not stats

Good post +1

I didn't know that James 315 had an alt in ISD.

IMO the best killmails are the ones that you link and people immediately ask 'how the HELL did that happen?'

My personal favorite is one of my first kills. I'm in a Vexor, and score a solo kill in lowsec against a T2 fitted non-failfit Sleipnir and its high grade Crystal pod.

There's just enough information in the killmail to deduce what happened but it isn't immediately obvious how I scored the kill. A killboard forensics expert would recognise that the Sleipnir pilot was AFK and that I had warped off and reengaged, and would thus conclude that I found the Sleip AFK on either a station or gate and attacked it, warped off to repair up gate gun damage, returned to finish off the ship and then the pod. (They would be correct).

I haven't killed anything yet but rats. Pvp seems fun. Maybe in another 6 months or several skill injectors I will try it.

If only you knew the truth.
