What is a Killmail?
Killmails are generated every time a capsuleer ship is destroyed in EVE. They show a range of information about the ship's destruction, and are a good way to analyze how the ship was destroyed. Every time your ship is destroyed, or you deal the final blow to destroy another capsuleer's ship, a killmail is placed into your combat log, which you can then view at any time.
Content of Killmails
On this example killmail, you can see:
- The victim, his/her corp and alliance
- The ship destroyed
- Time and location of the kill
- A list of the parties who contributed to the kill, their ship and weapon used. Note that the party who inflicts top damage and the final blow are highlighted
- The total damage taken by the victim. Note that this is raw HP, not EHP
- The destroyed ship's fitting
- An estimated ISK value of the destroyed ship, its fitting and cargo.
The killmail will always show the corp and alliance that a capsuleer was in at the time of destruction.
Where you find the Killmails
All of your killmails (either those that detail your destruction, or those which show your final blow on a target) are stored in your combat log. You can access them by opening the character sheet through the EVE menu or by clicking on your portrait in the Neocom, and then selecting the combat log tab. Here you can open a killmail by double clicking on it, or you can show the killmail to others by dragging the killmail to a chat window. This will generate a link to the killmail that anyone can open. It is also possible to store any killmail, even though you were not the party who inflicted the final blow, by dragging the link to the killmail into a note on the in-game notepad. This will allow you to open the killmail at any time.
Out of game Killmails
Killmails are also shown on public, out of game killboards, such as the one hosted by EVE University. There are also publicly available killoards, such as EVE-Kill. These allow people to see killmails which they do not 'own' at any time, and often provide other benefits, such as the ability to use the killmails to work out who was involved in an engagement.
