If you can find “official” documentation on just about any mechanic that comes from CCP and not a player who just figured it out, more power to you. Killmails generate if a structure or ship dies within 15 minutes of you attacking it as long it does not leave the system. Sometimes it can get a little loopy if the death itself happens right at a gate crash, but generally that rule is followed all the time. After being a member of GSF when we had to clear out all the structure trash after the last war, that’s how structure killmails generated 100% of the time.

Ive read 3 different articles that says 15 min before destruction. None were by CCP. Any info you cannot find by them, is for a reason.
CCP purposely does not offer information and leaves it for us to find out and either keep info to ourselves or share it
This is common knowledge for anyone who has ever done PvP.

I believe you, but transfering people to a fighter kill that wasn’t even in system is just wrong in my book, so I made support ticket…in any case just to get an “official” answer from CCP
And this is why actual important tickets take forever. Because they need to go through these kind of tickets.
In any event.
The issue with the killmail. I dont think any killmail generated. It looks manually generated considering it shows no core or fittings. I know for a fact it had fitting as I can (could) take the gunner seat.
Considering the importance of this event I gather, CCP did not want people to wait weeks for a killmail. So they cobbled this together. I am surprised nobody picked that up yet that it does not look right.

You’re why we can’t have nice things.

Well I guess the 1000 people on the fighter killmail were all noobs then or just didnt get the common knowledge memo.

Has the thought crossed your mind that like the massive Parabellum citadel destruction and NPC Titan kill (both also in HS) where there was killmail generation issues in both: that CCP is aware of the killmail generation problem of TTT (as described by Kane), which is totally separate from the 15 minute + system rule?
It doesn’t need a support ticket.

I actually don’t expect him to know that.
I might just be more invested in the game than he is. But I would expect somebody that did not know actually trust that some people know, taking Q from those that might know more and not fill up CCP ticket systems with arbitrary nonesense.
I mean the truth of it. The GM might not even know that the people bug with useless tickets.
Every single ticket I have ever logged I had to explain point by point how it works, what happens and what I expect to see. A GM does not always know and even then I also dont expect them to know as much as somebody like me that has been playing EVE for as long as I have.
Truth be told, I learn something new every week in EVE as well. That has been ingame for ages.

I still learn and get my ass handed to me in Eve. I don’t file support tickets over it and don’t want to encourage that behavior.

I am still learning and for some reason I keep getting my a** handed to me by Aiko
Today though I really thought she would stop the TTT Attacks!
What behavior ?? I’ve made 3 tickets in 17 years combined on my accounts so Im not spamming CCP …but Im curious about this one.
I could not care less if the Keepstar went down or survived, but it was an important event in Eve history and Eve can be somewhat complicated at times. Here about 1/3 of people in the engagement were somehow transfered to a fighter kill they did not engage and most will not know why.
Why is that not a legit question to ask CCP ?? I think a great deal of people will be sipping their morning coffee asking themselves the same question.

Let’s suppose you are 100% correct.
Thousands of players think „why am I on this weird fighter killmail“ and „surely CCP doesn’t know about this“. Each player decides to file 1 vanity support ticket then sips on their coffee and go „I can have peace of mind because I‘m not spamming support“.
Now there’s thousands of support tickets in the queue filed into various categories and with unique descriptions that requires sifting through. How is CCP supposed to offer good customer support while sifting through the deluge of „I am on the wrong killmail“ vanity support tickets?
Especially when the CSM can (and have a vested interest in) escalating this directly to developers — and especially with the background that developers have already had to do manual High Sec killmail reconstruction twice in the past month or two. Flooding support channels doesn’t seem wise and is actively harmful to other players‘ support experience.
Hopefully this satisfies your curiosity.

“I made a ticket 3 seconds after something died and I didn’t get a killmail, even though I realise 100s of others experienced the same” doesn’t really rhyme with “I make 3 tickets in 17 years”.
I see where you’re coming from, but let’s suppose everybody does nothing instead… thinking “well, I dont want to overburden CCP, better not make a ticket” …will the answer come by itself or should we just stay silent?
You might then counter argue and call it an unnessesary vanity support ticket…I would counter and call it Beeing part of Eve history ticket.
When I think back on things I’ve done in Eve… I go back to the killboard, look at kills or losses, see who I was with, reliving/remembering the people and times. I would not want to be put on false killmails, not because of vanity, but because of nostalgia and history.
Yes by your own admission:
It’s not going to be silently forgotten
Well I did sleep about 3 hours after…woke up, saw the event mails on Zkillboard…have the day of work so googled about an hour, searced the forums and found no conclusive answers got more qurious,…and yes then I made the support ticket as I have never experienced beeing put on a fake killmail before.

Trust me in 5-10 years you will most likely have forgotten whom you were flying with if not for visualization through 3. party sites…getting older wont help…just saying.
Is this a personal challenge? Because I can think of >5 people I flew with in 2011 off hand.
Anyway this is firmly off topic. Stop filing bad support tickets.
