This is possibly the most pointless change request I've read in a while.
As expressed by Kalanaja, the dps output of an individual pilot is pretty much immaterial in an engagement in pvp due to all the reasons she's already explained. Killmails give you the overall dps of each attacking pilot and what ship they're in. If you want to analyse a fight to see which pilots have performed badly to either educate them or (if you're a ****) berate them you already have the tools at your disposal to do this.
Trying to suggest that a damage meter would be useful during an engagement is just plain stupid. It might be in WOW but it really wouldn't be in EVE. All it would do is create a point of argument at the point where people should be concentrating on what the FC is saying.
If used to aggregate values over time you might get some interesting trend information but then you can already do this with the information supplied.
This would be a waste of dev time.
-1 for pointless change. |

Incursion runners do not even have killmails, and pick-up-fleets constantly have problems with leechers and slackers. Those people are often almost impossible to identify and replace. I think a damage meter would be greatly apriciated by the incursion communities.
And it won't give the L33t incursion runners another reason to bash newer players and those who can't afford sparkly ships worth billions, right?
Waste of dev time, bad for newer players and pointless for anyone other than incursion runners and even then only a very few of them. |

The most amusing thing about reading this thread is knowing, with certainty, that this won't be added to the game.
For all your arguing for a damage meter in EVE, OP, you neither have the backing of the community or of CCP and so yeah, never gunna happen.

EPALU Nothing is impossible, but some things are unlikely in the extreme. However with EVE being a multi-boxing love-fest and lots of EVE players having multiple monitors it wouldn't surprise me if eventually someone creates a program to parse the logs to provide some data from them in a semi-real-time format.
Well, I suppose they might do but it won't be CCP and it won't be ingame which is what the OP is asking for. |
