we didn't change any behavior of kills except add the total loss value and give the UI facelift

Looks like a nice stripped down version of EDK. Please add "Total Module Drop Value" to mails as well, for corporations like mine, not only is the total kill value important, but the amount in loot we scoop up as well.

I hope you are eventually able to replace the EDK system entirely (with external webpages), as developer support for it has been dwindling lately and being left to the end user to figure out.

Awesome! But srsly.... WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

When are you going to do the next logical step and create an official and unfakeable killboard to integrate with evegate?
With all the bells and whistles. Alliance startpages, corporation startpages, personal startpages.
Social functions like (eg. a MOCK-Button) to post this failmail on the forums... ?

So all the poor players working as KB admins for their corps and alliances will be spared of constant updating and restarting their PHP servers and updating DB dumps when module names get changed again and again.

Please!

CCP Punkturis and her Superfriends want you to receive a well laid out, user friendly and good looking report for every murder you commit in space.

Read all about it in this brand new blog!

why do you need the seconds? I'm just curious

the x,y,z stuff is also something we don't have available yet but maybe sometime in the future

What can we bribe you with to add the kill report to the Combat Log everyone that was involved (and their corp too)?

If you are looking for more features it would be nice to also show graphs of incoming DPS over time to the kill report. That graph should also mark when EWAR effects begin and end. It should be zoomable too.

I really also want to know why seconds are important.

any chance you guys can sneak it in its pretty much said at fanfest that self destruct escaping a kill report is utterly bad practice and sad that it can't be reported in kill format since the self destruct invalidated all that enemy fleets damage.

Really this change is pretty bleh.

If killboards where integrated into eve/eve-gate, that would be useful and good. This is just half-assed and so it's ultimately useless.

The killmails, or reports if you prefer, are still only showing you kills you get the final blow for. In order to be useful or worthwhile, it'd have to show all mails you were on, and scale up for corp and alliances. Then you can simply use eve/eve-gate for your killboard needs. A killboard that updates instantly, covers all of eve, and is always accurate? That would be fantastic. No doubt people will still maintain killboards, but they wouldn't be necessary anymore.

Since this will still only show the mails you get the final blow for, it's still limited to the point of uselessness. And the only reason you're going into the window will STILL be just so you can copy the information and post it to a REAL killboard.

If the combat log tab stays the same, and you only see this new crap when you choose to and open up a kill's details, then I don't care. Otherwise, it's all being redesigned and this is another crappy new graphical "feature" being forced upon us, I'm going to hate this. The new graphics and crap will just make it slower to load, use more resources, and take up more screen-room when you open it, which will suck because the only reason you are opening it is so you can get the text data you need to update a real killboard.

If you want to do something useful, integrate killboards for real. If you're going to do useless fluff like this, fine, but allow me the option to keep things the way they are, because I don't need or want more graphical clutter. I like minimalist setup. For example, the compact lists in chats was like the best feature ever.

I disagree instant updating killboards is bad, if neither of the killer or the victim choose to post a killmail its their choice.

yeah it stays the same so you don't have to look at the "crappy new graphical \"feature\" being forced upon" you

I took another look back at the devblog by CCP SoniClover here and the image that was posted here as a mockup of the new system. Now this first mockup is pretty much a direct facelift of the current system we have with EDK, and the new concept posted by CCP Punkturis is a very nicely slimmed down version (credit to whoever was on that job, someone in the art/design team?) to make it look less confusing to the average player..

fixed your syntax

55th! :D

Some players like to analyze in detail how a particular engagement went. timing can be essential, as is the precise order of things. rounded of to the minute really destoys the resolution you want to understand exacty what happened; how effects and actions are orchestrated.
perhaps you should ask CCP Veritas about this subject ;)

you're welcome

I'd like to second this. The compact list, as simple a feature though it may seem, has been a HUGE improvement for me and many others.
