Hey r/Eve,
If you run the EDENCOM + Smartbombing Anchor ratting doctrine (Skybreaker / Stormbringer / Thunderchild + a smartbombing Nestor, Machariel, or Praxis leader), you know the daily struggles:
- Wondering if your Vorton volleys are actually applying efficiently while training your fleet skills.
- Having friendly fire on your anchor mess up conventional combat logs.
- Forgetting how many anoms you've run during a session and losing track of your ISK/hour.
- Leaving an Asteroid Commander Battleship wreck behind because you were zoning out.
- Almost losing your fleet because an NPC Titan spawned on grid and you didn't notice the notifications in the heat of battle.
To solve this, I built The Norns — a standalone, hardware-styled live DPS meter and ratting companion.

How it works:
- EDENCOM + Smartbomb Doctrine: Automatically tracks outgoing Vorton DPS across all EDENCOM pilots while filtering out hits on your anchor. Simultaneously monitors your anchor battleship’s smartbomb modules cycle by cycle.
- Real-Time ISK Heatmap: Displays live bounty payouts per client, ISK per anomaly, and total session ISK.
- Automatic Anom Counter: Increments automatically on fleet warp — no manual clickers or tallying needed.
- Grid Alerts:
- Titan spawn alert: The entire hull heats up bright red if a Titan hits or gets hit on grid, giving you time to align out and save your ships.
- Faction commander indicator: Highlights rare spawns so you can grab the deadspace/faction loot.
- Faction Damage Breakdown: Identifies NPC faction and displays incoming damage shares (EM/Therm/Kin/Exp).
- Multi-language: Available in English, Ukrainian, German, Spanish, French, and Italian.
Compliance & Safety:
- 100% Passive: Reads only local `Documents\EVE\logs\Gamelogs` and standard window titles (`EVE - Character`).
- No memory injection, no network packet sniffing, no input automation, no screen OCR.
- Runs entirely on your PC: no login, no telemetry, no cloud. Open source (MIT).
Roadmap:
- Classic Mode: Dedicated support for pure smartbombing battleship fleets (Machariel, Praxis, Rokh).
- Competition Mode: For multiple packs farming in the same system (fast agile frigate anchor).
- Anom timer & detailed faction spawn rates.
- Chinese localization (中文).
- Compact mode & Potato mode.
