From what i have read, from this,is that your giving out more info than what is already provided.Yeah,about that.lets see how this has evolved.
Api's
legacy api's? --oh yeah those got updated,outdated,ancient(alot of problems that are still recorded from abuse of information)
Battleclinic -who didnt use this? (Now we have a few options for fittings)(Battleclinic you will be missed)
Crest API - guess battle clinic and the beta killboard was getting it wrong still .
ok so we have came up to this time and moment where you are wanting to do what?So now there is more info than what is here on zkillboard.I dont see this as being any more useful as eve central,something else you have to look up out of game to get anything useful from it.
just looking at zkillboard,what questions are not really being answered that says hey lets dump more infomation.
from a kill we get,ship type,owner of said ship,attackers ,ship fit ,and what dropped fairly simple.
your not going to be able to answer all of your pvp problems sifting through information that is already there(no way thats impossible).Sounds like to me you need to look at what you did wrong ,if you found more info that is useful,add it to what you got,here your just going to dump info like no oneelse care about their priviacy.Maybe someone is too big headed to realize his orbit was wrong when he lost his ship {cause that can never happen}
you want ships lost per month,just bring it up by searching ship type.
Maybe your baffled cause you went to look up info on someone and couldnt find them cause their using a character born right after the new eden incident so their records are lost.
If your killboard is not collecting killmails so why use it....adding this compile monthly killmail report is just another mess that might be sorted through next year.
i think CCP/Eve needs to look at what its got and build from there,not another killboard site, not another asset because 1% dont care and the other 99 wants info kept with a sense of decentancy(not that it will help)
build something that is going to help new players,(help channels were great).maybe a widget or window that shows recents kills in a small window,or an broadcast that says "There was currently 3 ships and 3 pods destroyed in the last 20 minutes within 5 jumps of this gate" something that gives immediate info that can be used for deciding if they want to go through the gate. or something bigger like a huge cloaking veil that hides like a group of BS 200km off the gate,perhaps limited to distance and angle,so if it is facing towards the gate only ships behind the veil and out to a said distance is "cloaked",till you start flying to the side of it and see said BS sitting there behind the veil.
My thing is really make the game more fun,not more serious,your bringing in more personal info and dropping it for the vultures to feed upon.Perhaps take all Identifiable info and input random variables for it to be recorded to.If i kill a ship with something that normally isnt seen,it is not my problem if they cant figure out how it was done.They dont "need" my ship fittings.CCP can make info avaiable simply by bringing up ships lost .They can also provide info to you safer than this compiled info they are stuck with so they throw the heap at you and tell you to do something with it .I havent really seen any request that was justified to give out personal info.
In my opinion(s),This effort is useless especially if this has led us to to this Crest API. CCP is getting paid(in case you havent looked at plexes and stuff,they have well made bank) to sit,feed you scraps that are half thought of.If you were to go and say hey make a list of ships killed in whatever time period,this is easy for them to do as they have all the info.but it doesnt take away from the fact that there is tools already here for that.
