So I recently destroyed an Omen Navy issue, the pilot ejects right before the ship pops.... No killmail is received- I submit a ticket to ask if this is normal now, because in the past ejecting never saved victims from a killmail in my experience.

GM's response to me is that as the attacker I don't get a killmail. ONLY the victim receives a killmail. I am now stuck in this ridiculous conversation with this guy and he just refuses to believe me. Am I crazy?? What the heck is going on here?

He even gives me a Player A and Player B scenario as if I'm too stupid to understand that attackers don't get killmails.

I tell him, no. I'm pretty sure the victim and the aggressor that landed the last blow both get links to the killmail in their notification area- His response- NOPE, only the victim sorry... all these years I have been imagining things.

That GM is a ******* moron, tho it honestly doesn't surprise me, it seems CCP hires the most idiotic of the idiotic to be GMs these days.

The Aggressor AND Victim both get a killmail - it's been like this since the day killmails was introduced.
And if he was actually knowledgeable about the subject, he'd know that too.

As to why YOU didn't get a killmail after the guy ejected, i guess it's because the game decided that at the time you popped it, it was pilot-less so it doesn't count as a kill - but if that's true, then it's a bug that CCP needs to fix.

Then again, they also stopped giving out killmails to border violations in the AT, so, maybe CCP is just pants on head ******** these days when it comes to killmails Roll

'pilot left just before ship popped'

This means ship lost all bonuses from pilot skills. It includes: additional structure/armor/shield HP.

Now: 'just before ship popped'. It means ship had very small HP in structure/armor/shield.

Now pilot left. Skills don't work. Some HP disappear from structure/armor/shield. What now? Ship pops: it has no HP.

Why the ship pops? Because pilot left it. Not because someone other was shooting it.

So why killmail? Lol

must have been this way. i destroyed countless pilotless ships and i always got a killmail as the ship exploded due to my shooting and not the loss of structure hp due to ejecting and losing the bonus from the skills.
