AdAstra seem to be the sovereign kings of w-space, awesome work guys!

Now filter out the k-space kills from the w-space kills.

I've got this data if people are interested. Noobman, not trying to steal your thunder or anything here.

Out of interest there also seems to be an issue with the stats page on zkillboard, if a corp member gets on your kill mail then it seems to appear in the stats page as a kill for your corp rather than a loss. This hopefully explains the difference between some of the figures on Noobmans sheet and mine.

Are you looking at it from just the stats page, or are you pulling all kills and parsing from there? If you're parsing, then in that function, just run a check on system and if it's j followed by numbers (can't be ****** to make this regex sorry), then class it as a WH kill.

This is assuming every nullsec system name has a dash in it, but if so you could simply check for the "-" in the system name and skip it when tallying up the kills.

Erm, not quite following what you are saying. My spreadsheet does split out k-space and w-space kills (and losses) granted it doesn't make a differentiation between hisec lowsec and 00 but i dont think people are that bothered about that.

FYI I am trawling every kill and adding up the stats manually and am checking for caps, and the system that the kill occurred to produce the data.

No you obviously know nothing about regex. Match starting character to j and accept 6 characters after that are only numbers 0-9. That matches only WHs.



Is your spreadsheet making API calls or are you doing it by hand? If you're doing it by hand I'm so sorry. You can make API calls per corp per day, but you'll hit your limit pretty fast. If you do it one time then you'll be fine, but you may need to spread the calls out over two days...

Of course I am not doing it by hand :) the spreadsheet is making the api calls and adding up the values. It all works absolutely fine, it caches data for x amount of time, blah blah, I know how to program :P

Btw you can't use regex on system names from the zkb api, it gives you the system id rather than the system name. All you actually need to do is check that the system id is over a certain number.

You mean nullsec right? A quick breeze through their Sept killboard (Which is EXTENSIVE) shows a distinct lack of "J" as the starting system number.

EDIT: I personally think a list showing only W-space kills and only those kills which are (were) ships (Not pos modules and stuff) would be far more telling as whos actually active in W-space.

Of course, that would make me simply cease to exist on killboards I suppose. :)

...Let me rephrase: AdAstra are the best PVPers out of this selection of corps by a fair margin.

This is interesting data.

AdAdstra (10%), SnailsAndFrogs (10%), KICK, WH0RE, BAERS all get less than a third of their kill value in WH space. Golf claps all around. That's some amazing wormholing, AdAstra.

The average ISK killed in w-space versus total is 57%.

Excluding capitals, i think it is fair to say that a majority of entities get more numerical kills outside of w-space than inside. QUEX and BU got an average of 94% of ISK killed in w-space.

The median value of WH kills has gone from 25-28 billion per month pre Hyperion down to 21 (across ALL entities) in September. It will be interesting to see if this continues trending lower.

Likewise, the average is trending down from 72B in May, 58 June, 49 in july, 44 in August and 41B in September. As low as April.

Number of kills on average has trended down similarly; 83 in April, 104 in May, 95 June, 90 July, 87 August and 76 in September.
The medium number of total kills per corp follows the same trajectory.

Conclusions?

Well, I guess we have to wait another 5 months but there is a clear trend of wormhole PVP losing out to k-space PVPing. We are seeing, on average and in aggregate, less being killed in terms of ISk and individual kills, by wormholers, since April.

The data doesn't address the issue directly, and capital kills in terms of ISk certainly heavily skew data in wormholes towards a few capital ganks washing out hundreds of BRAVE Atrons and Moas, so it's hard to say if there's even less wormhole PVP being had than this suggests. it's likely, I've certainly not experienced anywhere near the number of random encounters of even POSed up fools in the past 6 weeks.

So, going forward, I hope that Fozzie is reading this and realises that he's got to look at actual hard facts. if he doesn't, well, it doesn't bode well.

By the universal standard metric of your opinion?

By the universal standard metric of kills/member.

Which doesn't really hold up when in reality all three corps are basically sharing the same fights. By your logic people killing nonstop pods in highsec in a corp of 1 must be the greatest pvpers of all.
