Hello, space-friends! Back in November 2015, CCP’s art team added killmarks and dust to all ships.
Since then, pilots have been able to proudly display their spaceship exploding prowess for all to see. It was a welcome feature and a point of pride for many pilots.
Sadly, there is a class of pilot who, while crucial to any large scale battle, can never receive such an accolade. This is the plight of the dedicated logistics pilot. Logibros fleet up like everyone else, follow the FC calls, and contribute to the victory of any contested fleet op. But where are the accolades? Where are the laurels? Aside from the satisfaction of a job well done and the appreciation of the pilots that don’t explode due to logi efforts, we get nothing, at least nothing shiny to put on our ships.
What if Logistics ships got “Save marks?” It could work like this: if a ship gets down into structure and logi saves the ship, all involved logi get a save mark. We could define “saving a ship” as bringing it back from structure damage such that it stops being targeted.
Killmarks are only for the final blow. Similarly, save marks would only apply if the saved ship’s structure was damaged but survived due to remote repairs. Many logibros would enjoy the recognition and decoration shown on their ship. It would be fairly simple to implement, as mechanisms for killmarks could be duplicated and adjusted to fit the situation.
What do you think, space-friends? Would you appreciate save marks on your logistic ships? Let CCP (and us) know in the comments!
