Inside sources disclosed today that CCP has internally committed to a date for including logistics on killmails. Previous leadership misunderstood the request for logi on killmails. The original story in Jira said “As a player, I want to see logi on killmails.” The accepted solution for this story was a series of nerfs to logistics, including the falloff changes. The solution appeared to satisfy the need, as logi ships did, indeed, appear on more killmails.
“It was really when Hilmar started flying logi with Warp To Me that we realized we completely blew this one,” an anonymous source confessed. “We really thought the players still complaining about not seeing logi on killmails were simply behind the times, or complaining out of habit, like that guy on /r/eve that keeps complaining about no gates to Stain. I mean, we’ve had gates to Stain since we added Stain!”
With Hilmar’s contribution to a better understanding of the request, CCP will announce publicly within the next few hours that logi will appear on killmails, as of the 2019 August 6 patch.
In other news, Hilmar continues to listen to EVE players and take a very active role in guiding game mechanic decisions.
In light of his discovery that CCP’s ESI API is enabling “perfect intel,” and that many players found the blackout of zKillboard invigorating, a reliable source also indicates there will be an emergency patch on 2019 August 5 to permanently disable ‘https://esi.evetech.net/ui/?datasource=tranquility&version=dev#/Killmails’. “We’ve discovered that the killmails/recent endpoint is simply too big a part of the excessive transparency we’ve enabled in EVE Online. It is critical that EVE remain a dark and forbidding place, and killmails/recent sheds too much light on the tactical situation in real time.”
Squizz Caphinator, upon hearing the news, had just one question: “Where is the logi killmail for my broken heart?”
