Oh, Hi!

Test website please ignore.

Or not, anymore ..

Ok, welcome to the eve solo blog, a site I have hastily thrown up to provide a bit of feedback to people who are interested in the progress of the eve-solo website at http://evesolo.com/

I released it to the public with the intention of keeping it low-key and ironing out any major issues and bugs, while I implemented the last couple of features. Then, a kind soul posted a link to it on Reddit, and before it blows up I thought I'd start this blog to go with the website to let people know what its about, and where it's currently at.

What It's About.
It's about EvE-Online, and solo PvP combat in spaceships. It aims to track 1v1 kills and through a pointscoring system, keep track of how well players are doing and present sets of leaderboards in various categories - ships, ship-classes, pilots, over periods of a week / month / quarter / all-time etc.. It lets people create accounts and associate pilots with those accounts, to enable automagic pulling of killmails using the EvE API provided by CCP.

Where It's At.
It's going through its very first exposure to the general public - so be gentle. The aim really is to test the core components, iron out any major problems & monitor and tweak the scoring system. There are a couple of major flaws at the moment - not least that it will currently accept any killmails that look like solo killmails without attempting any kind of verification what-so-ever. There are plans to address this through the use of the EvE API provided by CCP, and to let people view the leaderboards filtered by verified / unverified mails, or just 'all-in'. That is, in fact the very next component I am coding up, and should be going live soon (tm) - oh, along with a 'forgotten-password' mechanism, which is missing at the moment.

What's Coming Up.
Features in the pipeline are;

• verification of killmails and filtering of leaderboards by verified / unverified kills
• more ways of gathering killmails automatically (via killboards etc..)
• account functions to manage those things
• better ways of navigating to the various leaderboards
• ...an 'I forgot my password' buttan.

In the meantime, go have a look, post some mails, play eve, blow up some shit!

have fun :)
Raife.
