KDR should just be removed. Only thing that should be tracked is isk lost vs isked you caused to be lost. People don't care if you die 100 times when getting a job done. The contractor just cares that you get the job done for a good price.

If I was looking to fund a war, I know that many times it comes down to money and/or raw materials. I would hire the corp that can win me a planet for under 1 billion isk, even if they use three times the number of clones another corp would use that charged 2 billion.

As for the guy with the needle, whelp you get the isk value of what you saved and the revived guy still get credited for losing that gear. Under the assumption that he was gonna bleed out. If he dies again, then you lose what you would have gained from the revive.

I am strongly against the removal of data! We need more stats, not less!

And yes, ISK gained, ISK lost, and ISK value destroyed, are definitely some of the most important states we need to have added.

Edit: Under your system AV Infantry would come off looking REALY good, while HMG Heavies would look like they sucked in comparison. Also, a bad Redline Snipers would look good because they donGÇÖt lose much ISK, even if they only get 2 or 3 kills per game.

Although AV could use help looking good on a stat sheet, I don't know what ISK won/lost would actually look like for them. I mean, some proto logi suits are pretty expensive and some HAVs are pretty cheap... In any case, I think it would be pretty easy to implement a modifier for vehicle related ISK to balance against infantry.

Have it be that if a tank kills a suit, it gets a quarter of what the suit costs to its Isk equivalent. That way a militia tank cannot be considered as Isk efficient, since killing a Proto suit would only award a max of around 60k Isk. However, it would be cool if a vehicles destroyed was added as a stat... I'll make a seperate post From the Clone Wars I came.
