Hello, world!
It's been a while since we were introduced to killboards. It's safe to say they've become an integral part of EVE. In fact, they're all over the internet. I think that's a problem. Mind you, I'm not saying I don't like killboards. I love killboards as much as the next guy. We all love killboards for immortalizing exploding spaceships and being the closest thing we'll get to EVE on a boring day at work. I think it's a problem that we keep tucking away our accomplishments in thousands of different nondescript places that nobody even visits, though, so I decided to do something about it.
Six months and ridiculous amounts of code later, I'm really excited to say EVE Arena is finally ready to enter its final stage of development. I won't bore you with details about what it actually does (beyond, you know, being a senselessly large killboard), but rest assured it's entirely amazing and that there are cookies to go around.
If you'd like to participate in the beta, please sign up for a beta key and I'll see you in a week!

Edited by: Drykor on 02/03/2010 17:45:22 So what about the battleclinic killboard? That's a pretty common place already to have all killmails on, right? What exactly is the difference between these sites?

I'm glad you asked.
You're right that centralized killboards already exist. There are a great many things I'd like to see in a centralized killboard that aren't offered by existing services like BattleClinic, though, and so I've set out to see them through. These are some of the features that make EVE Arena different from BattleClinic et al:
No registration required You are not required to register in order to view killmails, pilot profiles etc.
Moar dataz! Killmails are thoroughly analyzed to extract all kinds of valuable information.
Public API EVE Arena features a public API that anyone may query for killmails, region data, pilot data, corporation data, alliance data etc.

It does have a nice look, might give it a go to see how it works.

You beat the dominion splash screen with a big blue overlay stick =(. I hope you didn't pay for that.

Yes; the original didn't go so well with the color scheme. It's a beautiful piece, though, and I hope my slight adjustments don't upset anyone at CCP's art department. Needless to say, I will not hesitate to replace it if it does.

I'm glad to hear it. :-) It's been mostly programming lately, but I put a lot of work into appearances a few months back.

You misunderstand. I need your e-mail address in order to send you a beta key. If you are so inclined, you don't need to register an account to participate in the closed beta once you receive the key. ;-)

Why would you need a key for something that doesn't require registration?
Seems kind of, "back-door'ng"

Well, no. It's a closed beta, so you'll need a key to participate. Once the beta ends, you won't need a key to access EVE Arena.

Don't mind them, reading comprehension isn't most peoples strong area. If it is not spelled out and spoon fed, they just won't get it.
For the rest of us, closed beta spelled out what we were looking for.

The public API thing could be interesting. I've been thinking of creating some kind of Eve portal web app but plans are still vague. Anyway, might hook up at some point :)

Please do! Feel free to sign up for a beta key; it'd be great to have a handful of developers tinker with the API during the next few weeks.

That is one awesome idea. If anyone knows Objective-C and is interested in creating an iPhone application based on EVE Arena, please get in touch.

I'll sign up. Looks pretty much like battleclinic to me, but without a lot of the battleclinic features.
I'm wondering where the comments box on killmails is and if you can import all the millions of killmails already out there.
Originally by: Jim Raynor EVE needs danger, EVE needs risks, EVE needs combat, even piracy, without these things, the game stagnates to a trivial game centering around bloating your wallet with no purpose.

I like how you dont have to register. I might use battleclinic more, except that anytime something is linked it asks for a login and I just cant be bothered to set up another login for a website in my life.

I am absolutely in LOVE with the layout and design.
I believe 'kill'boards need to be dark and moody like your design. Gief beta key ______________________________
