When the gankers get concorded, issue a kill mail to the victim that caused Concord to spawn. The victim will sit there at the bottom of the KM most likely with no damage caused, much like the ECM or Logistics guy in a normal battle. But it will result in the KM making it onto the Killboards in most cases.
I think the current situation whereby a suicide ganker not worried about his sector status can pad out his killboard with undefended kills, while at the same time not posting his losses is ridiculous.
I would like to say that I have nothing against suicide gankers. I have never been ganked and have actually suicide ganked two other players in my career. Neither time was my loss recorded and that just seemed wrong to me. I didn't post them, why should I when nobody else does? |

This is not about the victim deserving the kill, it is about pluging the Killboard exploit of not posting your loss mail to make you look more leet than you are.
Currently a players can suicide someone, get the kill and 100% isk efficiency, when the reality is he might actually lose more than he killed.
An untanked hauler with 100M cargo is still going to look a re-tard when he is ganked by a Catalyst even with the Catalyst KillMail. But what about the untanked hauler carrying 2M worth of Ore who gets ganked by a Typhoon for the lols. Who should look like the re-tard after that? The 3M loss to the hauler pilot or the 60M loss to the Typhoon.
This suggestion is not about changing a game mechanic, just accurately reporting the facts on the killboards. If killboard efficiency doesn't factor in gankers minds then nobody is going to complain. If it does... well then my argument has just been proved... they are exploiting a hole in the game.
I know on the two times I did it, I didn't post my loss mail, but you can bet your bottom dollar that I posted the kill mails and they were of particular value that made me look leet, because they were both solo kills. |

Sorry I meant Security Status. But you knew that didn't you? Thanks for the bump. |
