When hunting, there are a number of tools available to assist, support, and maybe even enhance your experience. One such notable tool is the Zkillboard(https://zkillboard.com/) or just Zkill.
This web portal has a long history for Eve Online. It's loved by many. Hated by some. But a powerful source of intelligence. It provides an offline portal to review player interactions(kills). It also offers a lot of analysis and data analytics related to these interactions(....kills). A daily, weekly, monthly, annually collection of activity as reported by the players. The information within only the tip of the iceberg.
For me it serves a number of beneficial roles. It provides a record of player vs. player events that I took part in at a point in time in-game. A nice log of history for successes and failures. It also provides a reference for me to review ships and fits. To see how players are either successful or not with a fit and function of a particular ship.
As a tool, it provides me with a view of player performance, specifically my targets. What do they commonly fly? Do they they win or lose? When they lose I get a glimpse at the fit. Do they fly solo or in groups? If in groups, what is their role?
All of this information for a simple Venture, Prospect, or Endurance and recently for Herons. All this provides some insight into what is potentially awaiting. Is my target a creature of habit? Are their fits something that will quickly succumb to my Stealth Bomber platform or choice? Or will my target have teeth making my job a challenge or chore? Worse yet, will my target get the best of me with a fit that has an unexpected edge?
All of this detail packaged neatly in the Zkill history of my target. Easily accessed in the moments prior to my attack. Giving me the confidence or concern to engage or hold off. I recommend this tool to be used during your encounters and engagements. Give yourself a potential edge. Also, enjoy a moment in time that reflects an encounter or engagement.
More tools are out there, I'll try to cover more of my favorites in the future.
For now,
Be Well New Eden!
