Edited by: Douchie McNitpick on 12/11/2010 13:15:03 Great, more statistically irrelevant snapshot data that can't cover fluctuations over a day or even a week.
Quote: "As in previous editions of the QEN, this data comes from a single snapshot of the EVE universe at the end of the quarter."

Edit: EVE lost 20,000 subscribers over the summer?!? Ouch. That's the equivalent of around $300k in lost revenue per month.
Wish that was the case, but they artificially inflated sub numbers with cheap deals. They lose revenue when existing players quit, not when the super-cheap deals they were offering only drag in people for one month.

Quote: Realizing that a long-term price increase was taking place, one which would likely create a short term shortage of Nocxium, some enterprising traders played a clever market manipulation. By buying up large parts of the Nocxium available they ensured that a serious shortage of Nocxium was created ū or, rather, that the foreseeable shortage was greatly amplified. This took much of the market by surprise, with many a lamentation heard from manufacturers of Tech I goods. This is market PvP at its finest.

Edited by: Abyssal Angel on 12/11/2010 14:18:14 I'm usually a fairly happy-rainbows-butterflies-and-unicorns-type-of-guy at least when I'm given something enjoyable to read.
The QEN is lacking, and it's lacking in several areas, and while I won't belittle the work gone into creating it, nor the well meaning of it, I'm disappointed from a scientific and a gamer and an old time EVE player point of view.
Firstly, the QEN, is 57 pages, but amounts to only 16 "normal pages" in the written content (copy everything into word"really everything" except pictures, but the text in the picture). Those 16 normal-pages are based of a word count of 9.6xx divided by 600 on a normal-page. This is fairly standard practice when calculating the actual volume of a written paper.
That EVE is a vast and immersed place, I think most people would agree with, and I find myself oddly empty, and not informed very much beyond what I could've digested and guessed at from just looking at the pretty pictures.
I hope that the level of analysis could be of a higher degree, as the EVE community time and again have proven to hunger/yearn/lust for more detailed data/analysis/feedback on all topics, be that purely technical computer related or pixels and pretty pictures related.
I would end my post, on a slightly cheerier note; one that urges Dr. Eyj=lfur Gu=mundsson, CCP, to use perhaps less space on poster ads in the scientific paper itself and more on indepth and higher quality, or even more quantity of analysis of the figures presented.
I would dearly enjoy and I know others who share that feeling, for him to get more in-depth, more personal, more "involved".
I'm sorry for the sour grapes, but this QEN did very little to stir me where stirring is pleasant.
With regards
Abyssal Angel

Hi I think I may have found a Fault on Page 49
Originally by: Q3 Figure 30: PLEXes continue to be very popular and in Q3 the volume traded increased by 11%, reaching over 80.000 total trades in September. The popularity of PLEXes has increased in every single quarter since they launched, and Q3 didn¦t change that. In Q3 PLEX activations increased by 7% compared to Q2, but at the same time more PLEXes are being created than activated. The increased interest in PLEXes led to a rise in both prices and volume traded (6.6% and 11%, respectively) compared to Q2.

We are aware of the mix-up with figure 30 and it has been noted, sorry about this.

Prices of planetary commodities probably wonĘt change drastically until the release of Incursion, but what effect that expansion may have remains to be seen.
So... Anticipated price-reduction from improved UI, or more extensive changes?

As always, the QEN is beautifully presented. Smarter folks than I can judge the quality of the data but a couple of things:
I would like to see a section at the beginning of the QEN called Key Trends which shows a consistent data set from one issue to the next for certain key statistics (for example, null, low, high, and wh space populations trends and differences).
Quote: Page 10, first para:
The distribution shows clearly how characters progress within EVE, where pilots move from high security space to low security space and then finally into null security space as their skills and experience grow.
Lot of questionable assumptions in that blanket statement, in my opinion. Plenty of us (including my two 52M+ SP characters) will never go the null sec route. Conversely, a lot of new players head straight to 0.0 because they have contacts or take the initiative to get there. The assumed "progression" doesn't apply for either of these situations. Also...I suggest that you can't compare ship losses to skillpoints and make accurate assumptions about effectiveness. Low SP characters often serve as tacklers; they die a lot by design. However, that is no indication of their effectiveness or lack of it. They might very well be instrumental to the success of encounters even though dying every time. Of course, these days with bubbles and probing dictors, there seems to be less and less room for old-style tackle tactics--and more requirement for greater SP to employ newer tactics. For that and lots of other important null sec roles, pilots with far fewer than two years' worth of SP can be extraordinarily effective--even if they are losing ships in the process.

Edited by: Jackie Fisher on 12/11/2010 14:54:01 So after years of us much maligned Caldari being labelled as carebears it turns out that Gallente and Amarr are the true carebear races.
Clearly the Drake and Raven need a PVE boost.

Table 12, shows frigates and destroyers destroyed, but also an Aeon. I didn't know the Amarr supercarrier was re-classified as an T1 Frigate/Destroyer

Quote: The overall least flown ship type which is actively available (e.g. not a tournament reward or other limited-availability ship) was the Scythe Fleet Issue, with only 5 being piloted at the time of the snapshot.
Yes! This makes our Scythe Fleet Issue kill far more rare and valuable than a Titan kill. I demand Battleclinic reformulate their points again!

Edited by: Manfred Rickenbocker on 12/11/2010 15:33:11 I has been almost a year since the release of Planetary Interaction. Is it possible to produce statistics an analysis on game mechanics that were affected by this? It would be nice to know a couple of things: 1) The number of players actively participating in PI 2) The prices for things like starbase fuel and structure costs (based on PI requirements) 3) The number of deployed starbases (historical) due to fuel cost changes 4) Changes in moon-goo prices relative to these
Some other fun statistics: 1) % of systems actually occupied pre and post Dominion changes 2) Number of sov-holding alliances pre and post Dominion changes 3) Amount of money over time spent on sovereignty upkeep
Edit: Thank you in advance if you do produce those statistics. ------------------------ Peace through superior firepower: a guiding principle for uncertain times. |

That would seem be my fault. It isn't listed due to an error on my part, however Omist is included in the numbers for the South East sector. _______________ CCP Diagoras Research and Statistics |

Planetary Interaction was released in June. We expect to have some information about PI in the next QEN, Q4 2010, with six months worth of data. So good suggestions - look forward to the last QEN of this year.

Very interesting reading. Just one question regarding the starbases. The QEN says that in May a maximum of 216 starbases were destroyed in highsec. But how much is that in comparison? How many starbases are around? |

Most interesting QEN today. Only minor complaints
Ofc course after reading it the biggest question that remains is how CCP plans to deal with the imbalance between ISK faucets and sinks, other than implementing mechanics that promote the removal of PLEXes from the system... ________________________ CCP: Where fixing bugs is a luxury, not an obligation. |

We don't have the number that were active at that time to hand right now, but I can give you the number for approximately 30 seconds ago on Tranquility. At this moment there are 29,052 starbases in space. Of those, 23,000 are online. _______________ CCP Diagoras Research and Statistics |

Why do you lump low and high sec population into one "Empire" number? I want to see them broken out as separate numbers.
Also, I'm not very savvy regarding balancing of ISK sinks/faucets, but:
Quote: QEN3, Figure 5: The graph shows the development of bounty prize payouts and the percentage change in each quarter. In only a year the bounty payout increased by 64%, pushing the money supply further up.
Quote: Hilmar, page 4, October CSM Meeting Minutes: "The EVE economy has been mismanaged in the past according to Hilmar and as it stands now there is too much money in the system, thus all future changes to it have to be done in a careful and considerate manner."
And yet now we have another PvE feature coming that will add more ISK to the economy. I wonder if it is assumed ships lost in the attempt to put down an Incursion are going to be a sufficient ISK sink to offset that?
