Edited by: Evelgrivion on 10/11/2010 19:53:48 What information would you love to see out of the research and statistics department?
These are some of the things I would like to know:
- How many super capitals have been produced over time
- The activity and subscription trend of players who acquire super capitals
- A breakdown of where raw materials, primarily minerals, come from today
- The velocity of ISK in Eve
- How much ISK is being added to the economy via faucets, vs how much is being removed via sinks
Post your own wish lists below

I would like CCP, at some point, to perform some form of data-gathering exercise (anonymous, of course) to see how K/D ratio relates to number of skill points. As we all know, SP is not in and of itself a metric for PvP competency, but there are most certainly certain stages of SP development that preclude persistent PvP effectiveness. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

A breakdown of flown ships over a period of one month, data taken in small intervals (every ten minutes), showing variations over different days and timezones and system security ranges (w-space, npc nullsec, nullsec, lowsec, fw-lowsec, highsec). Also a breakdown of flown ships for different sp-brackets (0-1m sp, 1-2, 2-5, 5-10, 10-20..).
Statistics on ice product sources (system sec mostly) and consumption (capitals, pos).
Mineral production for different sp-brackets and system security (including module drops and alloys)
Macro Accounts banned per week.
Impact of the PIsploits that were swept under the carpet. Specifically, how many components were introduced, how many outposts built and how much sold to npcs.
A breakdown of moon mineral production per region.

I would like the Ship Types In Use statistics be based off of the total number of hours a ship was flow in space for the entire quarter. This would give us a better idea of the popularity of the different ships.

God statistics **** is best ****.
I would love to know so many things:
Statistics relating to account retention relating to age of account Value of assets on inactive accounts (also any t2 BPOs, how many inactive acct titans and SCs etc) How many accounts registered in the first month of the game are still active (and how many were registered total in that month). How many ship deaths (excluding pods, rookie ships, shuttles) there are to NPCs, and to players, each day in eve. How many suicide ganks there have been in highsec What the least used ships are What the least used (t2) modules are Which 0.0 region has the most been mined from, which has the most been made in NPC bounties from? Moon mins statistics How many chars are currently in wormholes. How many ships. How many POSs? What proportion of players regularly run high security level 4 missions? How accounts break down IRL geographically? How much mins are produced from recycling compared to mining? What is the most used ship in PvP? How many t3s? Most common configuration?
I could go on all day!
If Dr Eijo did a devblog full of delicious statistics (or a QEN), he would get a LOT of love.

I'd like to know how big each market is. I am in the rig market, so I do particularly want to know how big that one is, but I'm curious about them all. How many x sold per month type of thing.

Heya all.
Some of these questions will be answered in the QEN that should go live this week.
Regarding the rest of the requests - I will keep an eye on this thread and use the ideas as sources for stat-**** in the coming months. The form of publication could be the next QENs, devblogs, or something else.
Keep in mind that I cannot promise that all questions will be answered and I cannot promise it will happen fast. ____________________________ CSM Project Manager

According to the Tyrannis credits, Research and Statistics is a ten person department made up of eight researchers and two internal affairs overseers. They should have plenty of available manpower and oversight in that department, so why so much delay? What's taking up Research and Statistic's time?

They got somewhat lagged out? I hear that's a common feature with regards to EVE...

Well not all statistics are created equal. E.g., number of caldari pilots older than 2 years is a couple of lines of SQL; system with most ore mined might be impossible or very expensive to analyse.
I would like some stats, mostly scope/epeen. And quartile or decile would be much more informative than just mean. pilot age or SP for instance: e.g. 25% less than 3 months and 50% less than 7, and 75% less than 26 months.
I would be curious as to the alts - % with 1, 2, 3, 4+ active accounts
I would also like some insight into ISK but with corp wallets and alts I am not sure there is much accurate information to gleen. ISK per email address (e.g. collapse all account info as much as you can)
Some "day in the life" would allow some interesting if not statistically significant info. Pick a day and then runs some stats on it that might be too expensive to do every day. Don't tell playerbase but pick a day and then make a copy of the data. E.g. on this date here is the breakdown, per category "hi/lo/no/wh", of *fitted* ships and pilots < 5m SP, 5-10,10-20,20-40,40-80, >80 SP
Missions by level, LP generated/consumed...
But most any stats are interesting.

And all based on actual data, not the statistically irrelevant snapshots used in the qen.
Going to emptyquote myself since the recent QEN bases faulty conclusions from snapshots and I'd rather have valuable data than garbage.

YES! The idea is to have an objective measurement of ships that are underpowered, so that CCP can know what is in need of boosting.

No, this needs to be based on percentage of price change, not absolute price change. There are some items in EVE with such a low per-unit price that 0.01 ISK price changes are perfectly legitimate. -- Salpad C.E.O., Carebears with Attitude |

Monthly amount of courier contracts, broken down in: - private vs public - high sec only vs low sec and 0.0 - volume distribution of courier contracts - collateral distribution of courier contracts - trip distance distribution of courier contracts - regional differences in amount of courier contrats starting and ending in the region. - interregional vs regional courier contracts - total amount of volume moved pr month - amount of rewards paid pr month, private vs public
and probably more.

What i would like to know:
Of items which have T2 BPOs still in game, what percentage of the last years markets were made from the T2 BPOs. What percentage of capital ships produced since dronelands introduction have been made in the dronelands. What volume of the total mineral market from the past year is made from reprocessed alloys, reprocessed t1 drops and from mining. How many t2 bpo's are still in Eve, ie have not actually been destroyed. How many accounts are regularly online for more than 16 hours in day.

I'll bite...
Methodology =========== 1) Have you made any effort to aggregate accounts at the player level? 2) Have you made any effort to distinguish between mains and alts? 3) Have you made any effort to incorporate 1 and 2 into your stats?
Example: Do you really think 11,000 toons fly kestrels as a 'combat ship'? No. 10,980 of those are cyno alts. How many of those 11,000 have Cyno Field Theory trained? How many have their kestrel fit with a cyno lighter and ozone in the hold?
I imagine you've made some effort in this regard for marketing/customer retention/subscriber acquisition, but you could put a lot more meat on the bones of your stats if you could break out alts and second/third+ accounts. You may have 300,000 subscriptions but you don't have 300,000 subscribers.
4) Given significant academic interest in virtual worlds, have you engaged in discussions with economics research departments at major universities, ideally with an eye towards enabling some sort of research projects?
Lastly, not to be a jerk about it, but I can't help but wonder
5) Of the 10 people on the research&stats team, how many play the game (read: log in 2-3x per week and actually do stuff)?
Bots/Macros ==== 1) How many accounts are logged in for >15 hours a day? >18? >20? 2) How many toons have > 8.0 standing with these agents? Of those, how many have < 5 million SP? <3 million? How many overlap with #1? 3) What are the nullsec systems with the highest and/or most consistent bounty production? Ore production? 4) How many accounts per month are banned for botting/macroing? I'm not the first person in this thread to ask it, because the general suspicion is not many at all.
Gameplay Data ===== 1) Ships produced and destroyed, complete list. Destroyed by players/rats. 2) Modules and rigs, as #1. 3) Or, perhaps, most common fits? I don't need you guys to run a query to tell me that the most common fit is going to be a drake with t2 SPRs and a BCS or two. What's the most common arazu fit? muninn? I suspect there is a modal fit for higher-skilled ships.
Anyways, this is all I can think of for now.

The trouble is you get statistical outliers like cyno alts and scout alts distorting the figures.

Some solid research would be really nice. Come on, the economics team are some pretty smart folks, they know (or should know, at least) that in a game like EVE taking a simple snapshot and then not even really analyzing the data is worse than useless.
Take, for instance, the "X percent of players are in Empire during our snapshot."
It's utterly useless without analysis.
How many of that X percent are above, say, 1 million SP? How many of those not over 1 million SP are on accounts that are 2+ years old? How many of them have placed more than 25 buy/sell orders in the week leading up to the snapshot? How many of them are on accounts with one or more characters that was in nullsec/lowsec at the time of the snapshot? How many of them share IP addresses with an account that has one or more characters that was in nullsec/lowsec at the time? How many of them are in a ship that has a cyno and LO? How many of them are in noob corps and are skilled only for hauling? How many of them have not been active since 2004?
And so on. There's great potential for the economic newsletter to really elucidate the nuts and bolts of EVE and show what's going on, but CCP has not been using it to anywhere near its full potential.
And yah, it's about time that someone gave us some accurate figures on macroers reported/investigated/banned. Not RMT'ers (necessarily), but macroers. Doesn't have to be the QEN, but outside of publicity stunts like Unholy Rage, most of us get the impression that nothing is being done. ------------------------------------------------
