Dr.EyjoG, You are not forgiven. If you had taken 2 minutes to put up a post at the time the QENs were due, explaining that you were understaffed/overtaxed, then you might have been.
Missing schedule: forgivable if communicated.
Failure to communicate: unforgivable.

I made a quick scan of the report, and have a suggestion for the editor for future ones: Please use consistent comma & period notations in the numbers. Sometimes period is used for the thousands separator (European style), sometimes period is used for the decimal point (US style). Likewise for the comma. There's even one paragraph where they are mixed in the same paragraph:
 Quote:
In total, there were 14.777 new Hulks built during Q1 2008. Some 6.122 Hulks were destroyed, resulting in a net increase of 8.655 ships. However, the kill-to-production ratio for Hulks was 41%, whereas other mining ships had kill ratios between 13% and 36%, indicating that Hulks were the prime target. With an estimated average value of 100 million ISK per Hulk, the total value of destroyed property was a staggering 6 trillion ISK. For comparison, the overall trade value of all EVE markets ranges between 2.0 û 2.5 trillion per day.

while 'outdated' info, it was interesting, but i wish there was more covered

So do I. So much data - so little time. My future vision of this is that the players become more active in doing their own analysis. More on that on FANFEST!
For those of us unable to attend FANFEST this year (i.e. the vast majority of players), will you be posting a devblog on this topic during/after FANFEST?

a) 223/d covetors built, 30/d lost ... so far so good
b) 14777/30d = ~492 hulks/d produced
i don't see how that's possible...
It's completely possible if one has a stockpile of Covetors. What you should have asked is "I don't see how that's sustainable." Ans: It isn't. But the underlying problem is reading comprehension. The report states that 14,777 Hulks were produced over the reporting period, which is 1Q2008, which is 91 days, not 30 days. So 14,777/91 = 162 per day, which is under the net Covetor production rate of 193 per day.

Very good point! And agreed!
Originally by: CCP Dr.EyjoG
But the good news is that the we have solved our resource problem by adding more good people to the CCP team and aim to be back on track with publishing the 2nd Quarter QEN before mid of November, the 3rd Quarter QEN in December and the 4th Quarter QEN on schedule in January.
Dr.EyjoG,
By my calendar, today is now 14-Nov, the midpoint (weekday) of November*. Please take 2 minutes to either post the 2Q QEN, or a note explaining the delay and an updated ETA for it.
Regards,
MDD
(*) The 15th would be the midpoint, but that is Saturday, and I am not such a taskmaster that I consider it fair to include it as a normal workday. YMMV

I think the devs just forbade the good Dr. from use of their tradmarked "Soon" temporal measurement to give a time of release for the QEN. I'm sure it'll be out before the end of the month.
I'm certain it will be out before the end of a month. The question is: which month?
I'm considering starting an old-fashioned betting pool on it.

Unfortunately we were not able to finalize the 2nd quarter, 2008 Quarterly Economic Journal before Thanksgiving
The US Thanksgiving Day (which other CCP people have written is not a factor to CCP) was Thursday 2008.11.27. So the announcement that the QEN wouldn't be out before Thanksgiving is itself at least a day late (translation: DUH!).
Originally by: "Dr.EyjoG"
So ... we decided to ... delay the publishing by another week.
I read that as "publish 2Q QEN by 2008.12.05". And what of the 3Q QEN and its December publication? Is "by 2008.12.31" still your estimate?
I'm going to continue to hold your feet to the fire (as best I can), Dr.EyjoG. Delays may be acceptable, failure to communicate about them IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Simply because I'm getting rather fond of beating my head against the wall, I'd like to point out that it has been a month since the previous post, and *still* no response from EyjoG (or Wrangler for that matter).
*sigh*

Simply because I'm getting rather fond of beating my head against the wall, I'd like to point out that it has been four months since the last post from EyjoG. Maybe he's been fired from CCP (one can hope...).
*sigh*

So when can we expect to read the QEN for Q2 2009?
Second Tuesday in the month of Never.
