[https://zkillboard.com/ zKillboard] (short: zKill) is a public killboard. It collects [[~~Killmail|killmails~~]] and publishes them for everyone to read. The EVE Online community uses it for many purposes, the most common of which is to check how much was destroyed in a fight thus who the "winner" is. It is also often used to gather intel and check out what fits people use.

*If you now combine those two urls and append "/losses/" to the end, the resulting URL is https://zkillboard.com/corporation/917701062/ship/606/losses/ you will see all Velator losses by E-UNI.

The reverse order https://zkillboard.com/ship/606/corporation/917701062/losses/ works too, but "losses" has to be at the end. Further, it is possible to search for several things of the same kind, for example: https://zkillboard.com/corporation/917701062/ship/601,606/losses/ gives you all Ibis (601) and Velator (606) losses by E-UNI. This can be done with more than two things and, not only with ships, but also other categories like systems. Go ahead and experiment and find out which combinations work. But keep in mind that some combinations require a certain order while others not.

~~You~~ can ~~use the website http~~://~~mossworks~~.~~xyz~~/~~zkillsearch~~/ ~~to automatically create urls for you~~. ~~But~~ note ~~that it doesn't include all options because zKill's options are expanded from time~~ to ~~time~~.

Some more hints on advanced zkill-fu can be found on https://www.sacah.net/2018/08/zkillboard-url-fu.html - note especially the /reset/ keyword which allows you to filter on both victim and attacker...

As you can access zKillboard through an API. You can, in theory, apply any filter you may wish if you take the time to write the code for it.

=Intel Gathering=

zKillboard can be used in various ways to gather intel. You can check out an alliance what kind of ships (and fits) they like to fly and their common online times. If you face a certain target you can search for the pilot and his losses in that specific hull. Most pilots tend to stick with similar fits, so you can get a good idea of what the target might be flying. You can even click on export -> EFT and copy & paste the fit into Pyfa to simulate it.
