Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Ships have now kill counter. Very small signs can be found somewhere on ship surface. I propose increasing ship kill mark visibility. Overview could show kill count for ship and ship info window could show it too. Ship name and kill count could be added to kill mail for destroyed ship. This would create legendary kill mails when ship with large kill count is destroyed. Also you could share ship data in chat and show your kill count with this share!

Comments are welcome for my idea.

Once you really get into pvp a lot of that ship and player status stuff goes away. Each kill makes things a bit less personal and a bit less important to you. Also, I can run up crazy amounts of kill marks on my ship via alts and everyone knows that. This fact pretty much negates a lot of the value of kill marks on a ship. Sure, we all like to get them and we all like when the number on a particular hull gets kind of big, but most of the value of blowing up someone's ship is in the reputation the guy you just popped has built. Most guys getting popped - no value. Popping an Eve celebrity - value (like a dev or something).

There is a lot more value/consequence if you exploded Chribba's veldnaught in Amarr than if you popped anything I was flying anywhere at any time in Eve.

Being able to see how many kill marks that ship you just retired had tallied up before its demise would be a fleeting satisfaction at best.
