We’re simply on our second day of the brand new 12 months and already I’m falling again on a brief type staple of the positioning, the Friday bullet factors publish. Future me will curse my laziness as they write the “one 12 months in the past” entry, however when have I ever proven a lot thought for future me.
Not less than I’m going to stay to 1 subject! I’ve a couple of gadgets about EVE On-line to deliver up. So what have I acquired this time round?
- A New Sovereignty Map Utility Seems!
We’ve lengthy trusted the EVE Sovereignty maps, and can proceed to take action as they supply a wonderful long run view of how null sec has modified over time. It is a useful useful resource.
However it’s not with out its flaws, coming from an older period of the sport. So I used to be excited to see a brand new sovereignty map device present up that’s laid out primarily based on CCP’s new 2D in-game map.
A New Years Look on the Drone Areas
Not solely does it have a tighter, extra correct array of shade splashes… one of many flaws within the previous maps was the algorithm that coloured a whole lot of empty area making the footprint of some alliances appear loads larger than they really had been… however you’ll be able to zoom on in and see issues clearly.
As a dynamic map that reveals the present state of programs, it lacks the historical past of the previous maps, however it as further options like having the ability to level out the place fleets are clashing of the place sovereignty campaigns are in progress. Should you like to look at null sec, that is completely price a glance.
- Lies, Rattling Lies, and New Eden Finish of 12 months Statistics
There was a time when CCP used to offer us customized annual stats on the finish of the 12 months… like, precise video summaries at one level, then some stats despatched out in electronic mail.
Ship kills and worth again in 2021
There have been issues with the information and, just like the MER, totally different points usually didn’t match up, however it was one thing for us to sit up for.
Nicely, they don’t have time for that anymore, and gave up on the thought a pair years again as they pulled extra sources off of their one income producing title to chase the dream of constructing a primary individual shooter and a blockchain crypto sport. Neither of these will ever make a dime, however CCP administration is invested within the thought.
As a substitute CCP has fallen again on annual stats for the sport. These ought to be simple sufficient proper? I imply, they generate the MER each month, so simply summing issues up ought to be simple.
Besides in fact, everytime you give the neighborhood group numbers they discover a approach to fumble the entire thing. So there are a bunch of finish of 12 months stats obtainable which can be both an enormous lie or are an indication that the MER is a large lie, as a result of they 100% don’t line up. And that’s after they mounted among the extra egregious errors, like over estimating mining worth by one thing like 1,300%.
Nicely, I can’t personally confirm 100% of the stats. I’ve no approach to verify to see if the Enterprise is the ship most definitely to undock in excessive sec… however I’m additionally undecided that could be a metric that has any that means. Does it imply numerous individuals fly Ventures? Or that Alpha clones mine in them by flying out, burning a rock for a bit, then docking as much as drop their load then undock once more?
However that simply will get to my pure dislike to statistical data with out context. Should you give anyone a quantity however no approach to inform if that could be a lot or somewhat, greater than final 12 months or much less, then what good is the quantity count on for trivia.
Anyway, it’s there for what it’s price.
- Alliance Event XXI – The Remaining Numbers
Hey! Keep in mind Alliance Event XXI? The one which wrapped up again in late October?
Alliance Event XXI
Nicely, CCP has lastly gotten round to delivering their wrap-up dev weblog concerning the occasion.
I imply, we knew already that The Tuskers Co. gained the factor, however now we have now a abstract video, the ultimate prize distribution, and a few extra particulars to sum up the entire thing.
And whereas it took them a while to get there, it does at the very least appear to be a high quality job. One thing to browse if the Alliance Event is your cup of tea.
Then again to a reputation you’ll be able to belief whose stats you’ll be able to belief, Wollari at DOTLAN EVE Maps.
DOTLAN is the keeper of the archive in a means that CCP can solely envy. Not that DOTLAN is ideal. It is dependent upon CCP’s API. But it surely has measured issues in a constant method, so you’ll be able to take a look at the 2025 numbers and evaluate them with final years numbers or numbers from a dozen years in the past.
DOTLAN Jumps & Kills – 2025 vs 2024
I’ll word that one cause excessive sec losses are down is that CCP lastly mounted the AIR Profession Program in order that 15% of all New Eden kills aren’t shuttles in Uitra any extra. Hey, look, context!
Anyway, extra there to peruse as I simply grabbed one of many charts obtainable.
- The Consumer Hanging on Shut
Not a information merchandise, however an remark I’m going to throw on the market to see if anyone else is experiencing this currently.
After I stop the EVE On-line shopper I find yourself with my system locked up for a couple of seconds, particularly when I’ve a second shopper nonetheless working. The mouse strikes, however clicks are usually not acknowledged. After which, after a couple of seconds, again to regular. New factor, previous factor?
So it goes right here within the new 12 months.
