A Look into December 2024 Destruction in EVE On-line – Winter Nexus and Years Finish

CCP gave us the ultimate MER for 2024 final week, so we now have the entire set.  Meaning in some unspecified time in the future I’ll mix all the 2024 knowledge into a large set of charts as I did final 12 months… after which I’ll evaluate them to the few stats that CCP trotted out within the December version of The Pulse so we will see how CCP can’t even current constant numbers.

Final 12 months the quantity they introduced on their video was double what the MER knowledge confirmed.

However that’s but to come back.  This put up is to undergo December destruction to shut out the 12 months and see if the financial modifications with the Revenant enlargement ramped up destruction.

EVE On-line nerds tougher

As at all times, I’m going to cowl destruction.  Listed below are the standard locations to look in order for you extra particulars or completely different protection of New Eden financial exercise for the month.

General Abstract

It’s typically powerful to for the month AFTER an enlargement.  CCP does loads of promotions, provides away free sport time, and usually tries to get folks into the sport to expertise the brand new stuff.  After which it wanders off, both to repair (or within the case of Equinox, end) the enlargement, begin on the following enlargement, or go on trip.

On such has been construct the legend of the summer season droop.  However December has the ISK faucet occasion of the Winter Nexus.  Is that sufficient although?  And does that occasion get extra ships blowing up?

Taking a look at Jester’s charts, it seems that gamers within the sport dipped in December after peaking for the Revenant enlargement and its give-aways.

Dec 2024 – EVE Gamers logged in

Not that December was dangerous or something.  Within the scope of the final 4 years it was about the perfect of Decembers, conserving on par with 2023 which adopted the Havoc enlargement that appeared to revive the gamers logged in.

Dec 2024 – 4 Yr Logins Comparo

So logins had been down some, however not drastically.  How about explosions?

Effectively, explosions had been down.

December noticed reported 479,812 hulls, constructions, and capsules destroyed. That was down from 531,081 in November, the 12 months’s peak, and down from the 496,807 reported in October. For explosions December was under the median for 2023, however solely simply so. Fewer issues exploded and there have been 31 days within the month, so the typical losses per day sank from 17,702 to 15,477 in December.

Dec 2024 – Avg Losses per Day

Once more, that’s down across the low level for 2024, however 2024 total was up for nearly each month.  Being on the low finish of the perfect scenario remains to be higher that being the excessive level of, say, 2022 when CCP was deep into the shortage period and the hunger economic system.   They nonetheless haven’t mounted that… the mineral value index hit an all time excessive as a result of isogen remains to be a bottleneck and CCP obstinately refuses to see that gating it in low sec was a foul thought… however issues are higher.

The ISK entrance didn’t see an identical dip, with December seeing 46.77 trillion in losses, a bit up from November’s 45.15 trillion ISK. However November solely noticed small uptick from the 44.78 trillion ISK in losses seen in October, so the ISK misplaced has remained considerably flat whereas the depend has gone up and down.

Meaning costlier stuff blew up in December, with the typical loss ringing in at 97.48 million ISK, up from the 85 million ISK per day in November, although the typical whole losses per day remained simply over 1.5 trillion ISK. That when extra day in December mattered.

All of that corresponds to 1.5 trillion ISK misplaced per day in November and 1.44 trillion ISK per day in October for a earlier than, throughout, and after enlargement dynamic.

Ultimately much less stuff blew up, nevertheless it was barely costlier stuff.

The month itself flowed within the normal sample, excessive factors on weekend, valleys throughout the week.

Dec 2024 – Losses per Day

The low level in losses was December twenty fifth, Christmas day.  I suppose we had higher issues to do then.

So it goes, one other month has swept by and 2024 is finished.  On to the common charts.

High 20 Most Frequent Losses by Class and Hull

Again with the standard suspects.

Shuttles and the doughty Ibis high the charts, nevertheless it looks like the conventional combine.  Possibly a number of extra Herons misplaced because of the Winter Nexus, however in any other case about what was anticipated.

Hulls Misplaced solely As soon as This Month

The flip aspect, the uncommon losses for the month.

There are some questions concerning the single losses this month, like why was that PH Caiman killed by PH?  What was occurring with that Keepstar? (I believe it was a part of the INIT new years reset.) And the way are there nonetheless cellular siphon models nonetheless out within the wild.

However not less than that Cybele was an AT loss.  So one thing very costly departed New Eden.

High 20 Whole ISK Misplaced by Hull Sort

Then we begin speaking concerning the value of issues.

Type of shocked to see 217 Athanors on the checklist.  Any person was clearing out mining operations.  In the meantime a mere 39 Rheas could be on the backside of the checklist, however the value per loss was fairly steep… although that could be shut to only the bottom hull value, relying on how CCP is calculating it.  CCP has a valuation downside, as at all times.  Subsequent time we’re going to see a trillion ISK single ship loss for January that I wager doesn’t make it to this chart as a result of there is no such thing as a market knowledge for CCP to work with.

High 20 Areas by ISK and Hull Losses

The place in New Eden had been issues being blow up.

In terms of worth misplaced, a null sec area doesn’t even present up till 4th place with Vale of the Silent.  Pochven gave option to each The Forge and The Citadel for worth.

In terms of the depend of losses The Forge will at all times be up on the high as long as Uitra carries on, however we’ll get to that.

High 20 Techniques by ISK and Hull Losses

Narrowing the scope, what techniques noticed probably the most losses in ISK and whole depend.

I don’t need to say issues had been completely quiet in null sec, however with Tenerifis in 18th place for areas and our stager in UALX-3 in twentieth for techniques, December was not maybe that energetic down in our nook.

High 10 Techniques for Shuttle and Corvette Losses

I coated what was occurring in Uitra in a full put up final month, so in order for you the story you’ll be able to go there.  So I’ll cease obsessing about that and, as an alternative, simply put up techniques the place shuttles and corvettes are being eaten up in pursuit of AIR Profession Program farming.

I solely have to go ten deep for these charts because the counts fall off fairly quick.

Uitra remains to be the shuttle demise champion being the closest tutorial system to Jita.  However Jita and Ahbazon every present that some persons are utilizing shuttles to move costly stuff nonetheless.

Corvettes are additionally used for AIR Profession Program farming, so Uitra is on high once more.  Additionally, Jita and Abhazon conserving it actual with the costly losses.

And so it goes.
