Weird, Sick, Possibly Demented Suggestion

Would ironically be quite easy to implement on CCPs part as it would just be an internal counter of number of ships, by type killed, increasing then multiplying by number of crew per ship type on avg to spit out a total number.

It would really give a bit of perspective or immersion tbh. Even in a large null sec fleet fight it would tell how many “innocent” mortal crewmembers died in order to take that citadel or hold that system. Or how many died to make you X amount of isk and keep you rich off their blood ratting anoms or L4s or even incursions that were “liberated” into death from Kuvakei’s slave powered ships.

The only downside is that the numbers for some people would be simply ridiculous to the extreme even given billions or trillions of people in inhabited systems spread over thousands of solar systems. So the numbers themselves might get stupid real fast which would break any immersive effect or even enjoyment they might have in the beginning.

There are no innocents in EVE, you’re guilty of something, even if its the crime of logging in

They tried something similar in Industry. Does anyone remember teams?
The short story is that no one bothered with them, so they were canned.

Edit: Blargh to a late response, but I’ll leave it in.

I would like to see the crew stats (and deaths) listed somewhere in game. I think it would add to the dystopian feel of playing in New Eden.

On the other hand, I’m a bit wary of upgrading crew. as a mechanic.

If they were treated like a module or rig - insert, remove, buy, sell, steal - then I would have no problem with this mechanic; however, if they had to grow organically through ship experience, I could see this as a reason to NOT use a specific ship in order not to lose it. Bling can be replaced; the crew cannot. It could lead to more risk aversion.

I just want an odometer for my ships.

How many AU have they traveled in that ships life. Some of us that explore dont get many kill marks and would love to see how far we have gone over the time of that ship.

Yeah I would have a tendency to agree with you here. Crew gets escape pods when you die as well would do this. Respawn rate for crew for the lore, semi capsuleer ideology perhaps so you cant immediately reship with bling crews. Perhaps a respawn clone payment instead of the clone fee? Mostly for specialty crews. Ironically crews to replace the attribute stats + something might be a thing. CCP has been looking for a way to replace those.

I care about gadgets… not much but I try…
