If you had gotten that killmail, what would you do with it? |

So... what do you use it for?
Since so many are obsessing over it it has to have a great purpose in this game. But no-one has said why yet. |

Past a certain point (a few hundred billion in kills) your KB becomes somewhat pointless, unless it is closely examined, but as a super pilot applying for an alliance it's usually nice to know if they whelp super fleets very often.
It's also nice to see what they actually do on a day to day basis, for example I said above The Kadeshi managed to kill a super capital with some very clever spying. If I'd gone on the KB and seen it, I'd probably have asked about it and ended up applying to join because it looks like fun. Instead people viewing their board will just see a few losses to a super cap, and assume they got hot dropped.
So it can be used as a way to keep track of progress. Cool, thanks.
Why not suggest however that instead of having the game generate a "kill-mail" for selfdestructing, have the insurance not be payed to the player selfdestructing. Then if someone decides to selfdestruct, not only will they lose a ship, but also the money it took to make it. Better then to be killed and get something back.
Just a thought.
Untill then I guess [print screen] can be your good friend |

Then preventing insurance payouts sounds like the prefect solution. Players want isk sinks, capitals cost a lot of isk. If they selfdestruct to save face then they have thrown that isk right out the window, or down the sink. Or they let themselves be killed and will then atleast get back the base cost of the ship in exchange for a killmail. |
