Just got a kill mark after destroying a Buzzard scanning my wormhole. I was in an Eris, a Gallente ship. The Buzzard is a Caldari ship, why did I got a Gallente mark? It's not right. US pilots had Japan Empire flags or german flag has kill mark for the corresponding enemy country. It would have been strange for a US pilot to get a US flag for destroying an enemy plane.

So , it would be better to receive a mark based on the faction of the destroyed ship, not just a pile of Gallente marks because you got the kill in a Gallente ship.

my 2 cents

On the other hand, it doesn't matter to me what race the guy I kill, or his ship, are. I'm not killing them for the republic, I'm killing them for Goonswarm Federation.

if I kill a PH newbean, can I get a little octo-thing as my killmakr? Or a bee if (when) I shoot a blue?

Probably because it would be more time consuming and take up way more database space to have a record of some detail or other of every ship a player kills instead of just an incrementing integer and a pointer to a single type of killmark.

Aren't the kill marks just little lights that pop up? Honestly, and I mean this expecting somebody to explain why. who cares?

This would be awesome. A massive waste of time, but awesome.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

This may be worth doing for fw, where you are actually fighting factions for a faction, but outside of fw very few people give a damn about empires and corp/alliance kill marks will likely be a ridiculous amount of work.

it doesn't matter, you'll lose your ship soon enough anyway. Big smile
