This might seem foreign to those who haven't played Eve Online, but coming from that game I can't imagine serious PVP without a detailed kill tracking system.
I don't mean just a kill counter either, I mean name, armor type, what weapons we were each holding, who else was shooting at them, what outfit were they part of, who else died in the same battle.
I want to be able to point to my K/D ratio and say not only is it good, but look I'm outnumbered and outgunned most of the time, I don't get it by farming light assaults with a magmower. Most games don't show that.
And then I want stats out of that, more than just a k/d ratio, I want an cost/death ratio, so if I'm taking out a lot of tanks as a light assault I can show that I'm more cost effective at hurting the enemy than others.
How about my favorite weapons, what do I kill most with? Where do I kill most? If I'm in my magrider should I avoid HA because stats show I lose a lot of magriders to anti-tank missiles?
Lastly outfit rivalries...I want to be sure I know how many rival heads I've bagged from our arch-nemesis, and show that when I died against them I took 2-4 of them with me.
I'm hoping all of this can be extrapolated from the API SOE is making available because it really makes the PVP game so much better.
