I find it incredibly hard to believe that this discussion has never been brought up before, but I have decided to bring it up again if that be the case.
As a manufacturer of equipment in Eve Online, I can say that the addition of this feature would add a lot more value and sense of accomplishment to the role I play and love in the finest virtual world I have had the pleasure to be apart of.
Like the combat pilot who has a kill mail, combat log and furthermore out of game killboards to log their accomplishments in and out of the game, I feel as I am certain many others who dedicate their time in eve to the manufacturing of equipment for distribution through the eve economy that it would create a incredible sense of accomplishment and value if the items we have created have some kind of indication as to who the manufacturer was.
In the real world, nearly ever product in existence is branded, which serves as advertisement and recognition for ones work. In eve unfortunately there is no indication of the origin of any equipment traded on the open market. Thus no recognition and furthermore no way for the manufacturer to gauge market penetration.
I know that it would be quite the experience to loot a piece of equipment from a wreck after a pvp fight that had "Created by: J'ee" under its attributes.
Why this has not yet been implemented or explored I do not know. It may be the case of complexity adding something the the game that from a programmers point of view may be a lot more difficult than it may appear from a players point of view. That being said, I do strongly believe that the addition of this feature in some form or another would be applauded across nearly the entire R&D community.
Thank you for taking the time to read and consider my suggestion, and I hope that this is something we may hope to see in the future.

Speaking for most industrialists **** YOU. While yeah acknowledgement would be nice, all this will do is tell jackasses which characters to camp and which corps to wardec for maximum dickery. Being a nullsec industrialist I don't want ANYONE knowing which chars build stuff, where they are, or any of that other crap. Everyone in EVE is an ******* out to kill you. Doing this will just paint a nice fat juicy target on every industrialist out there. Even worse if you build caps. Then they know to blow up all of your corps towers to ruin you.
If this happens every nullsec industrialist is ******, royally. |
