Yesssssss
Even after 316 pod mails, it's never too late. |

lol what |

If the item is being worn it's sadly (and bizarrely) indestructable. Not so bizarre. You're naked or in a skinsuit when you're floating around in your pod. You only wear NeX things while mucking about in station. How you magically manage to bring your entire wardrobe with you station-to-station is another matter entirely, though. For the sake of staying on topic... Awesome change. +1
Obviously, the cost of bringing your clothes with you/providing ones just like them in every station, and the lifetime warranty on things like the monocle, is what makes them so goddamn expensive. That's what I always figured. |

Although a verification API would be nice. Given two arguments kill_ID and kill_Hash it would simply return true or false. Even something crappy and cpu efficient like MD5 would suffice. After all, if someone launches a 2nd preimage attack on a killmail to get on a titan kill, let him have his 15 kilobytes of fame.
They would have to have
1. a highly standardized way for killmail text to be produced from the information provided by the API (so all killboards and the ingame combat log always produce the exact same text)
2. an API that will provide hashes of entire killmails by KillmailID for verification purposes (presumably it would provide a number of hashes for different languages of killmails)
While this would be fantastic, I'm sure there are a number of technical difficulties to overcome and there is surely better work to be done before they get to perfecting our epeen measuring devices. Like making sure that the Tornado is only one of 4 racial, 4th Tier battleships in the coming expansion :D |

That would actually be more complex and difficult, as it foists the responsibility of having a working item type conversion table available onto the killboard software. Hashes for multiple languages is a vastly simpler solution, and it also allows easy automatic determination of the language of an existing killmail if you didn't have a way already. |
