you can keep track of all that info in the notepad if it really means that much to you.

People keep ships long enough to have histories?

I certainly do. I have a Vexor from about 2 years ago. Most of my ships are like that.

That's the point, with a ship history, maybe people would be less inclined to waste ships frivolously and fight harder to keep them. Also, if you sold a ship, the history would go with it, so keeping track via notepad wouldn't be so easy to pass around.

That is an excellent idea. I believe as an individual my character has a bond with his ships and his ships have their own personalities. As those ships stick around and are used in industrial endeavors (such as my Mackinaw) or combat operations (my logistics ship) they develop history. A feature such as a ship's log that you can keep and edit would be cool.
This is something that would attract Role-Players and cater to their end of the game, I think there are alot of people that could care less.

Well you could evemail the person the information from the notepad once they buy the ship..."Please add to this history and pass it on to the next owner of the ship or else a asteroid will hit your house"...it could be the evemail equivalent of chainmail.

I have a Vigilant from when i found a cargo container at a jita gate with the BPC. It stayed in my hanger for months till i found out what it was, built it and used it whenever i needed to ***** standings for a new corp quickly.
*checks assets* Oh, i also have an archon that has never been used sitting in a 0.4 system somewhere completely unfitted. Got that on a spur of the moment buy some time last year.

Ship histories sounds pretty cool. Give every ship a random unique ID number and stick it into the killmail.
Then hit info on the ship and it will tie in with all the appropriate killmails.
Very cool, potentially very laggy though.

I've suggested this quite a few times, along with naming a ship once, and unless you repackage it, it's name is like that forever. Personally I think it would be great.

Being able to name the ship only once would be one way to go. Not necessarily in the taste of everyone.
Me personally I'm not that bothered, if more info is being let back into player hands I prefer that space to be allocated to pilot bios.
Did anyone fraps it? |

Fully supported. This topic comes up periodically and I agree with it. I've had ships that have had epic combat careers, would be nice if it were possible to show it off or at least see for myself just how much damage it's done.

I don't care who made it since ships are all the same. But something like a Killcounter would be nice.
