battle report eve online

A battle report in Eve Online is a detailed summary of a combat engagement, typically generated using third-party tools like zkillboard, EVE Workbench, or EVE-Kill. These reports provide statistics on ship losses, player kills, ISK (in-game currency) destroyed, and other relevant data. Here's how to create and interpret one: How to Generate a Battle Report zkillboard (most popular): - Go to zkillboard.com. - Search for a specific battle by system name, corporation/alliance, or time frame. - Use the "Related Kills" feature to group engagements. - Click "Battle Report" to generate a summary. EVE Workbench: - Upload a combat log or link zkillboard data. - Provides additional metrics like DPS, ship types, and fleet composition. In-Game Tools: - Use the "Local" chat log or combat logs (limited functionality). Key Metrics in a Battle Report Total ISK Destroyed: Value of all ships and modules lost. Ships Lost/Destroyed: Number of ships on each side. Fleet Composition: Breakdown of ship types (e.g., capitals, subcaps, logi). Top Damage Dealers: Players or ships that dealt the most damage. Survivors vs. Losses: Who won the engagement based on losses. Example Battle Report (zkillboard) Why Battle Reports Matter Post-Mortem Analysis: Learn what went right/wrong in a fight. Propaganda: Used to showcase victories or humiliate enemies. Recruitment: Alliances use reports to attract members. ISK War Tracking: Measure economic impact on enemy groups. Limitations No Real-Time Data: Reports rely on killmail submissions. Partial Data: Some kills may be missing (e.g., NPCs, unreported losses). No Tactical Context: Doesnt show fleet movements or objectives. For large battles (e.g., Keepstar sieges), battle reports can span trillions of ISK and involve thousands of players. Tools like BRCT (Battle Report Compact Tool) help analyze massive fights. Would you like help analyzing a specific battle?
