The design of a killmark is determined by the faction that manufactured the hull ~~which~~ it adorns: an Amarr ship accumulates Amarr killmarks, a Caldari ship, Caldari killmarks, and so on.

The design of a killmark is determined by the faction that manufactured the hull that it adorns: an Amarr ship accumulates Amarr killmarks, a Caldari ship, Caldari killmarks, and so on.

The marks come in three sizes which represent, in increasing order of mark size, 1, 10, and 100 kills. The tally goes up to 999.

The location of the killmarks is specific to the ''base hull'' of the ship. So, for example, the [[Merlin]], [[Harpy]], [[Hawk]], and [[Worm]] all display killmarks in the same location, because they are all fundamentally based on the Merlin hull. But the [[Condor]] and the [[Kestrel]] will each have their own locations, as they have different base hulls to that of the Merlin; the Kestrel will share a killmark spot with the [[Manticore]], the Condor with the [[Crow]] and the [[Raptor]].

Although tackle modules and ewar (justly) include their users in [[killmail]] reports, they do not generate killmarks; the ship must deal the final blow. There is also a short list of entities for which ~~Eve~~ never awards killmarks:

Additionally, ships do not receive killmarks when they destroy a pilot's corpmates.

Additionally, ships do not receive killmarks when they destroy a pilot's corpmates. Though in the past ships flown by trial accounts would not generate killmarks, alpha clones do.
