Hello there,

Before I continue further, I would like to emphasize that this post does not belong within EvE technology lab.

Since the moment my friends have stopped playing EvE, my PvP activities have sunk. I did not PvP for a while, yet I remember a fight from the past which doesn't vanish from my thoughts:

A friend of mine had a Rapier and a Thorax (his alt) while I was typical Caldari pilot abusing my ECM skills. I was really, really young pilot and everything what we've done was super-exciting. One day we've come across a Tengu and an Abaddon who were cleaning out the mission in a low-sec. Rapier had scanner probes and he has found the fatty (Abaddon) pretty quickly and our mission commenced - kill them both, if possible.

The Abaddon was initially tackled by the Rapier - the signal was issued and the Thorax, and a Falcon have warped inside of a mission space. The first goal was to obliterate the drones and to place the secondary point on the Abaddon. Once when the secondary point was landed, the Rapier should've gone for Tengu and try to catch him. Unfortunately for us, the Tengu had high amount of DPS and at the same time he was long-ranged (obviously a user with an alt who used a tank to get the damage from NPCs and a Tengu for main DPS). They were fighting against Guristas and the Abaddon had ECCM modules. Tengu had high sensor strength too. Luckily, at that time, the NPCs didn't switch targets.

Due to the ECCM modules and me being low-skilled, we had an issue of jamming both pilots. At the moment I didn't jam the Tengu, he started to dish out a lot of damage on Falcon and a Thorax. Since rapier had combat scanners (low DPS) and he was quite fast, there was no need for a Tengu to attack him. Due to incoming damage to other ships, Thorax and Falcon had to warp out-and-in. It was really a great combat for me because it was not an easy task. In the end, we managed to kill the Abaddon; the Tengu warped-off after he has seen that he can't help his alt/friend.

The whole process took around five minutes (if not more) but it seemed like it took ages. It was a lot better experience than me being in my standard Drake bait facing a Dominix (brick tank/Neutralizer) while the Nightmare has shown me what does a shield mean against such a ship ;).

Anyway ... to come back at the point. I don't have any of the combat logs which I could use for few development experiments. I've moved out to another land and in the meantime I've removed all the logs which EvE has generated. I require such logs of at least two pilots who have been in a fight in order to 'create' a format which could tell a story. Nowadays people can just use video-recorder and film it but that's not enough. I would like to get a combat log 'story' from the members of the fleet in order to 'recite' the story; to 'tell' the story, or to reenact the story. And that's why I need help from you :). If you have combat logs which you can/will share, please send me a PM!

Something about me:
I'm a web developer who has focused on open-source technologies for a while. Although the PHP is the main language of my development, I have no fears to face new languages/challenges. I wanted to create something related to EvE for a long, long time now but I didn't know what. Nowadays I have few ideas of my own, but unfortunately I don't have data. And that's where you come in the story: if you have data, or some kind of tools which you require, you can just contact me :).

At the moment I'm looking for
A combat log from at least two members, from which one member has stood within the whole duel.
