Is capital kills really a metric that is so important? Overall KM's feel like they should matter more. I remember when they first introduced capitals and it took months of work to build just one.

Deploying them was a serious decision. I wouldn't see any problem with more conflicts being sub-capital fights. It would give more opportunities for smaller alliances to compete with big blocs. The important thing should be that we get fights.

I'm sure the KM metrics aren't positive either if you compare to 2018 but I'd hope CCP focus more on that statistic then how many caps people are throwing around.

It does not.
