It’s time as soon as once more to look into the EVE On-line Month-to-month Financial Report.
As I steered final month, a part of this can be seeing what the Goonswarm Federation transfer from Delve to Tenerifis has on destruction. Nonetheless, I’ll save the opposite financial impacts for an additional put up since I don’t wish to get slowed down or run too lengthy on that on this put up.
EVE On-line nerds tougher
Listed here are the same old locations to look if you’d like extra particulars or completely different protection of New Eden financial exercise for the month.
Total Abstract
For openers, with the September MER I puzzled if the “summer time stoop” was over. With the October MER I feel we will completely declare that to be the case. Jester’s chart reveals the enhance in logins to the sport.
Common every day gamers up to now in 2024
Numbers are up for positive, although there’s a query as to what’s driving it. Jester opined on Reddit that he although it was the GSF transfer op, which acquired a number of us to log in… and fairly a couple of to re-sub alts… in an effort to get stuff from Delve to Tenerifis. (We’re going to be cursed if CCP sees this uptick and latches onto the thought… once more… than making null sec transfer consistently is a path to achievement moderately than a strategy to get us to all stop.)
Within the October exercise put up linked above, TNG means that the Crimson Harvest occasion drove this uptick.
I lean extra in the direction of the transfer op, partly as a result of I used to be there personally once we had greater than 5K accounts logged in for the first massive crossing of the regional gate, and since, traditionally, there hasn’t been a giant uptick that one may solely attribute to Crimson Harvest, which I discover to be one thing of a middling occasion in New Eden.
Oct 2024 – 4 yr customers comparability
Sure, we see that uptick in 2023 as properly, however that was additionally the beginning of the Havoc enlargement occasions, together with Zarzakh, so Crimson Harvest was within the combine. And in 2022 and 2021 October is flat and even down a bit. So Crimson Harvest doesn’t really feel like a giant think about driving customers to log into the sport.
Additionally, we’re clearly not again as much as the height numbers for the yr, which occurred when Equinox launched and CCP gave out 7 free days of Omega time and had a login occasion… although even that peak was nonetheless driving considerably on the enhance from Havoc and fell off fairly exhausting through the summer time when Equinox languished, ready for updates.
One merchandise to search for within the November numbers is how a lot that free time give away spikes the Revenant enlargement and whether or not it may maintain by means of the vacations and into the brand new yr.
However what about destruction? That’s the level of this put up, proper?
Effectively, destruction was up!
October noticed reported 496,807 hulls, buildings, and capsules destroyed, up from the 456,571 reported in September and the 426,589 reported in August. Extra issues exploded.
That provides us a mean losses per day variety of 16,026, which is a noticeable uptick on the chart I’ve been holding.
Oct 2024 – Avg Losses per Day – 4 Yr Comp
That makes October 2024 probably the most explosive October, even when I am going again to 2020 when World Warfare Bee was in full swing.
On the ISK entrance, October noticed the lack of 44.78 trillion ISK, a severe leap from the 38.73 trillion ISK. The October quantity consists of losses within the Alliance Event, which takes place in Jove house on the principle server now, that reportedly added 697 kills value an estimated whole of 1.3 trillion ISK to the month’s whole. That’s sufficient ISK to place it within the prime ten of areas for losses. (You possibly can see the largest loss right here.)
Nonetheless, the regional and system losses within the MER don’t mirror that in full (which I’ll name out later), so as soon as once more CCP is doing calculations from completely different knowledge units that I can’t reconcile. I think that perhaps it’s zKillboard pricing vs. CCP pricing, or perhaps it’s losses together with and excluding what dropped within the wreck (90% of these officer mods dropped, however do you get to loot the sector after a match?) however couldn’t inform you for positive. Or perhaps they’re together with the preliminaries that too place beforehand. Anyway, there’s about half that 1.3 trillion ISK accounted for right here.
You possibly can nevertheless see the AT representing within the losses per day chart for October. The ultimate rounds have been on the nineteenth, twentieth, twenty sixth, and twenty seventh.
Oct 2024 – Losses per day
Weekends all the time spike, however Alliance Event weekends particularly so it appears, with the ultimate day topping the month.
Prime 20 Most Frequent Losses by Class and Hull
By this level within the enterprise, I put up these two charts on the lookout for exceptions within the habits moderately than to remind people who issues stay the identical.
| Class | Depend | % of Oct | Hull | Depend | % of Oct |
| Capsule | 115,799 | 23.31% | Capsule | 114,662 | 23.08% |
| Shuttle | 75,275 | 15.15% | Caldari Shuttle | 30,398 | 6.12% |
| Frigate | 59,120 | 11.90% | Ibis | 16,626 | 3.35% |
| Cruiser | 38,745 | 7.80% | Gallente Shuttle | 16,313 | 3.28% |
| Destroyer | 35,406 | 7.13% | Amarr Shuttle | 15,290 | 3.08% |
| Corvette | 30,233 | 6.09% | Minmatar Shuttle | 12,199 | 2.46% |
| Fight Battlecruiser | 15,028 | 3.02% | Cellular Tractor Unit | 11,335 | 2.28% |
| Cellular Tractor Unit | 11,961 | 2.41% | Enterprise | 10,874 | 2.19% |
| Hauler | 10,738 | 2.16% | Catalyst | 9,255 | 1.86% |
| Heavy Assault Cruiser | 8,905 | 1.79% | Heron | 7,226 | 1.45% |
| Interdictor | 8,868 | 1.78% | Vexor | 7,048 | 1.42% |
| Interceptor | 7,768 | 1.56% | Reaper | 6,687 | 1.35% |
| Assault Frigate | 7,672 | 1.54% | Algos | 6,120 | 1.23% |
| Battleship | 7,554 | 1.52% | Ishtar | 5,447 | 1.10% |
| Covert Ops | 5,225 | 1.05% | Exequror Navy Concern | 5,417 | 1.09% |
| Strategic Cruiser | 4,610 | 0.93% | Gnosis | 4,576 | 0.92% |
| Cellular Warp Disruptor | 4,565 | 0.92% | Velator | 4,480 | 0.90% |
| Stealth Bomber | 4,254 | 0.86% | Thrasher | 3,912 | 0.79% |
| Tactical Destroyer | 3,892 | 0.78% | Sabre | 3,880 | 0.78% |
| Mining Barge | 3,587 | 0.72% | Cellular Small Warp Disruptor I | 3,029 | 0.61% |
At a look, I do surprise why the Gnosis popped up into the highest 20 this month, although I think it’s as a result of it’s a low-cost battlecruiser hull that’s simple to coach suicide gank alts into. That was in all probability one thing influenced by Crimson Harvest and the 90% drop price.
Hulls Misplaced solely As soon as This Month
The as soon as monthly membership, excluding POS towers and modules together with fighter squadrons, is as soon as once more pretty brief. Kill mails linked within the desk the place doable.
Not a number of fascinating stuff on that listing. It’s unusual, for instance, the place there isn’t a Wyvern on this listing on any given month. Lancer dreads are uncommon solely in the truth that they don’t get a number of use.
The Bestla is an ATXVIII ship, so uncommon, however not the primary one to explode. The Violator was a Pax East 2013 reward, so uncommon if not precisely formidable. The InterBus Shuttle got here with the boxed model of the sport at one level.
There’s a story behind the Keepstar and Fortizar losses, which happened within the wormhole system J132601, which was coated in a put up over on Reddit.
Prime 20 Whole ISK Misplaced by Hull Sort
| Hull | Depend | Sum of ISK misplaced | % of Oct | ISK per Loss |
| Capsule | 114,662 | 3,399.78 billion | 7.59% | .030 billion |
| Vargur | 1,151 | 2,287.93 billion | 5.11% | 1.988 billion |
| Golem | 790 | 1,442.08 billion | 3.22% | 1.825 billion |
| Loki | 1,911 | 1,403.13 billion | 3.13% | .734 billion |
| Ishtar | 5,447 | 1,339.69 billion | 2.99% | .246 billion |
| Kronos | 708 | 1,229.42 billion | 2.75% | 1.736 billion |
| Paladin | 669 | 1,171.08 billion | 2.62% | 1.750 billion |
| Tengu | 1,292 | 975.70 billion | 2.18% | .755 billion |
| Praxis | 2,748 | 790.90 billion | 1.77% | .288 billion |
| Gila | 1,971 | 766.88 billion | 1.71% | .389 billion |
| Proteus | 805 | 583.70 billion | 1.30% | .725 billion |
| Athanor | 355 | 574.65 billion | 1.28% | 1.619 billion |
| Rhea | 49 | 541.55 billion | 1.21% | 11.052 billion |
| Obelisk | 124 | 533.62 billion | 1.19% | 4.303 billion |
| Barghest | 244 | 499.01 billion | 1.11% | 2.045 billion |
| Exequror Navy Concern | 5,417 | 488.63 billion | 1.09% | .090 billion |
| Charon | 127 | 440.46 billion | 0.98% | 3.468 billion |
| Occator | 629 | 433.66 billion | 0.97% | .689 billion |
| Gnosis | 4,576 | 433.59 billion | 0.97% | .095 billion |
| Astero | 2,530 | 424.12 billion | 0.95% | .168 billion |
There are a number of haulers on that listing, which tempted me initially to credit score the transfer op. However the transfer op losses don’t actually help that whereas the losses to suicide ganking through the Crimson Harvest occasion… once more, beloved by gankers for the 90% merchandise drop price… actually do.
Additionally, Gnosis on the listing right here too. Common loss per hull is simply 95 million ISK. Effectively value it to carry down one thing like a Charon. These run about 2 billion ISK for the hull, so when the common loss is 3.5 billion ISK, you realize they’re dropping goodies to gather.
Prime 20 Areas by ISK and Hull Losses
Right here is the place those that have been hoping to see Goons get abused whereas making an attempt to maneuver throughout three areas are going to be disenchanted. However lets see what the chart says earlier than we get into what occurred.
| Area | Sum of ISK Misplaced | % of Oct | Area | Depend | % of Oct |
| Pochven | 3.74 trillion | 8.34% | The Forge | 57,751 | 11.62% |
| Metropolis | 2.97 trillion | 6.62% | Metropolis | 31,062 | 6.25% |
| The Forge | 2.71 trillion | 6.06% | Pochven | 26,081 | 5.25% |
| Delve | 2.46 trillion | 5.50% | Lonetrek | 24,220 | 4.88% |
| The Citadel | 2.18 trillion | 4.87% | Delve | 23,876 | 4.81% |
| Lonetrek | 1.33 trillion | 2.97% | The Citadel | 19,272 | 3.88% |
| Vale of the Silent | 1.31 trillion | 2.92% | Heimatar | 18,786 | 3.78% |
| Sinq Laison | 1.27 trillion | 2.84% | Placid | 15,636 | 3.15% |
| Querious | 1.16 trillion | 2.60% | Catch | 15,425 | 3.10% |
| Catch | 1.05 trillion | 2.34% | Black Rise | 13,904 | 2.80% |
| E-R00024 | 1.01 trillion | 2.25% | Querious | 13,749 | 2.77% |
| Genesis | .91 trillion | 2.04% | Sinq Laison | 12,794 | 2.58% |
| Fountain | .84 trillion | 1.89% | Vale of the Silent | 12,334 | 2.48% |
| Omist | .73 trillion | 1.64% | Essence | 11,054 | 2.23% |
| Perrigen Falls | .72 trillion | 1.61% | Genesis | 9,996 | 2.01% |
| Placid | .68 trillion | 1.53% | Perrigen Falls | 8,439 | 1.70% |
| Devoid | .65 trillion | 1.45% | Fountain | 8,384 | 1.69% |
| UUA-F4 | .61 trillion | 1.36% | The Bleak Lands | 7,502 | 1.51% |
| Black Rise | .60 trillion | 1.34% | Omist | 6,790 | 1.37% |
| Tenerifis | .59 trillion | 1.32% | Tenerifis | 5,755 | 1.16% |
On the one hand, Delve, Querious, Catch, and Tenerifis, the areas the place the transfer ops happened, all made the highest 20 listing… Tenerifis didn’t final month… and all of them noticed some improve in losses, Delve being probably the most pronounced, going from 1.41 trillion ISK in September to 2.46 trillion ISK in October, the upswing was not in proportion to the quantity of ships and gamers in movement by means of these areas over the course of the month.
Mainly, Fraternity and PanFam didn’t put in a number of effort when it got here to messing with transfer ops. Certain, there have been small teams on the market with gate camps and opportunistic kills, together with the previous “invite to fleet” trick in 1DQ1-A, which labored extra usually than it ought to have.
But when we had advance information of the time and place of a gate leap involving tremendous capitals, it will not have been the sleek operation we noticed on October 18th once we had over 50K jumps between 49-U6U and 4-07MU.
Right here they arrive!
There was one other video of the op in final week’s neighborhood beat, and the one factor you don’t see if opposition to 1000’s of ships going backwards and forwards.
And it’s possible you’ll pretty ask what I anticipated if we had 5K pilots logged on.
At a minimal, if it have been me, I’d have had 50 logged out interdictors in every system, able to log in when it was there flip, drop a bubble and cloak, and stick with it till they have been blown up after which have the subsequent one log in, on each side of the gate.
We name this waterboarding, and it not solely disrupts the tempo of the operation, it freaks out the capital pilots flying very costly hulls filled with all their stuff. Folks will get annoyed and sign off.
Somewhat than being a relentless irritation and disruption, it occurred precisely as soon as in 4-07MU when a intelligent interdictor dropped a drag bubble behind the Keepstar. And that was it. The transfer op went on and on with negligible resistance. Except an Imperium pilot determined to go gate all the best way to ULAX on their very own, they have been secure.
And that’s simply my baseline thought. I’m positive the Imperium may provide you with a dozen extra issues to make a hostile transfer op go mistaken. However Frat and PanFam weren’t , which helped us out.
The opposite areas value citing are Pochven, which once more tops the listing. I don’t even know what goes on in Pochven, however there they’re once more.
Then there’s The Forge, the place suicide ganking in and round Jita added a trillion ISK to the losses in September.
Following on, there’s E-R00024, the wormhole area the place that Keepstar and faction Fortizar have been misplaced, breaking the trillion ISK mark.
And, lastly, there’s UUA-F4, which is the place the Alliance Event happened, which rang in with 610 billion ISK in losses, about half of the 1.3 trillion ISK claimed have been AT losses.
Prime 20 Methods by ISK and Hull Losses
Down on the system degree we will see the place issues have been taking place.
| System | Area | Sum of ISK misplaced | % of Oct | System | Area | Depend | % of Oct |
| Jita | The Forge | 1317.01 billion | 2.94% | Uitra | The Forge | 38,610 | 7.77% |
| Uedama | The Citadel | 983.71 billion | 2.20% | Jita | The Forge | 10,877 | 2.19% |
| 1DQ1-A | Delve | 828.91 billion | 1.85% | Ahbazon | Genesis | 7,665 | 1.54% |
| TI0-AX | UUA-F4 | 535.72 billion | 1.20% | Uedama | The Citadel | 7,597 | 1.53% |
| Gheth | Devoid | 483.03 billion | 1.08% | Malukker | Heimatar | 6,405 | 1.29% |
| Ahbazon | Genesis | 464.40 billion | 1.04% | Akiainavas | Lonetrek | 5,886 | 1.18% |
| J132601 | E-R00024 | 464.04 billion | 1.04% | Jouvulen | Lonetrek | 4,813 | 0.97% |
| Sakenta | Pochven | 360.48 billion | 0.80% | Korama | Lonetrek | 4,333 | 0.87% |
| Kaunokka | Pochven | 349.74 billion | 0.78% | Vlillirier | Placid | 4,329 | 0.87% |
| Sivala | The Citadel | 331.81 billion | 0.74% | 1DQ1-A | Delve | 4,214 | 0.85% |
| Aufay | Sinq Laison | 288.46 billion | 0.64% | Tama | The Citadel | 3,695 | 0.74% |
| Tunudan | Pochven | 270.74 billion | 0.60% | Kinakka | Black Rise | 3,590 | 0.72% |
| Aset | Metropolis | 265.24 billion | 0.59% | Heydieles | Essence | 3,143 | 0.63% |
| Isanamo | Lonetrek | 245.74 billion | 0.55% | J132601 | E-R00024 | 3,046 | 0.61% |
| Frerstorn | Metropolis | 242.40 billion | 0.54% | Rancer | Sinq Laison | 3,018 | 0.61% |
| 49-U6U | Querious | 232.89 billion | 0.52% | Tunudan | Pochven | 2,972 | 0.60% |
| Nalvula | Pochven | 227.41 billion | 0.51% | Amamake | Heimatar | 2,969 | 0.60% |
| G-B3PR | Omist | 213.35 billion | 0.48% | Aset | Metropolis | 2,944 | 0.59% |
| Konola | Pochven | 210.47 billion | 0.47% | HY-RWO | Catch | 2,668 | 0.54% |
| Rancer | Sinq Laison | 179.72 billion | 0.40% | Trossere | Sinq Laison | 2,464 | 0.50% |
On the ISK facet of the chart, Jita and Uedama are the favored suicide ganking places, with each seeing greater than double the same old losses as a result of Crimson Harvest 90% drop.
1DQ1-A is in third resulting from small group efforts to warp off and kill oblivious Imperium pilots… fairly a profitable operation. We misplaced two titans in in the future, which make up greater than half of the whole losses. Think about if Frat and PanFam had actually tried to disrupt issues?
TI0-AX is the place the Alliance Event happened, whereas J132601 is the wormhole the place the Keepstar and faction Fortizar have been destroyed. Should have been a few good loot pinatas.
On the hull depend facet… properly, there’s Uitra once more, the start place of suicide gank clones. Or that’s my principle. Utria will get its personal part. Jita is in second place on depend, as one may count on.
Attention-grabbing to me is that there’s actually just one system on the transfer op path to UALX within the prime 20 for depend, HY-RWO. Gate camps popped up there quite a bit they usually acquired a number of small stuff.
The Compulsory Depend from Uitra
Right here we’re once more, observing Uitra and making an attempt to determine what’s going on. Listed here are the losses for the system for October.
| Hull | Depend | Sum of ISK misplaced |
| Caldari Shuttle | 16,261 | 399.36 million |
| Ibis | 8,856 | 797.56 million |
| Minmatar Shuttle | 4,657 | 83.13 million |
| Gallente Shuttle | 4,506 | 69.27 million |
| Amarr Shuttle | 3,056 | 84.12 million |
| Velator | 750 | 69.09 million |
| Capsule | 163 | .07 million |
| Badger | 157 | 133.82 million |
| Merlin | 81 | 13.63 million |
| Reaper | 34 | 3.06 million |
| Impairor | 33 | 3.07 million |
| Enterprise | 15 | 4.65 million |
| Gnosis | 11 | 585.44 million |
| Bantam | 8 | .96 million |
| Griffin | 6 | 2.27 million |
| Heron | 6 | 6.15 million |
| Condor | 3 | 6.52 million |
| Cormorant | 2 | 2.70 million |
| Astero | 1 | 245.71 million |
| Caracal | 1 | 10.59 million |
| Praxis | 1 | 177.51 million |
| Slasher | 1 | 1.31 million |
| Sunesis | 1 | 5.82 million |
On the shuttle entrance, that’s 28,480 in October, or roughly 38% of all shuttles misplaced within the sport in October, all in a 0.9 safety system in Caldari excessive sec. That’s up from final month.
The shuttle tally up to now in 2024:
- October – 28,480
- September – 20,378
- August – 20,298
- July – 35,739
- June – 39,863
- Might – 37,008
- April – 27,446
- March – 22,149
- February – 26,778
- January – 20,674
How does that examine to different techniques? Are there different shuttle scorching spots? Listed here are all of the techniques have been a couple of thousand or extra shuttles have been misplaced.
| Hull | Depend | Sum of ISK Misplaced | System | Area |
| Shuttle | 28,480 | 635.89 million | Uitra | The Forge |
| Shuttle | 5,331 | 105.88 million | Akiainavas | Lonetrek |
| Shuttle | 4,307 | 97.59 million | Korama | Lonetrek |
| Shuttle | 3,978 | 88.44 million | Jouvulen | Lonetrek |
| Shuttle | 2,450 | 49.26 million | Trossere | Sinq Laison |
| Shuttle | 2,169 | 5,268.55 million | Jita | The Forge |
| Shuttle | 1,785 | 46.42 million | Malukker | Heimatar |
| Shuttle | 1,627 | 30.65 million | Embod | Metropolis |
| Shuttle | 1,585 | 37.82 million | Deepari | Area |
| Shuttle | 1,383 | 34.40 million | J102055 | D-R00021 |
| Shuttle | 1,285 | 21.22 million | Couster | Essence |
| Shuttle | 1,048 | 2,287.86 million | Ahbazon | Genesis |
| Shuttle | 922 | 205.80 million | J132601 | E-R00024 |
Akiainavas is one other starter system, and most of these are excessive sec. I’m sort of curios as to what use a shuttle is in wormhole house, however someone can all the time scout you a gap I suppose.
Jita and Ahbazon are the place individuals hauling costly stuff in shuttles get caught. However Uitra is the shuttle graveyard.
As with final month, I stored an alt in there. He undocks when the AIR every day requires scanning 5 signatures, simple to do in a coaching system, and I see the same old stuff there. Once I undock there are all the time cargo containers, deserted ships, and like on the littering the place.
The messy undock
The overview reveals me numerous issues, together with characters with numerically sequenced names.
Should be a coincidence
And so they typically have simply in the future in sport, throughout which all of them joined the identical corp.
Birds of a feather and all that
At some point I noticed a pair of Gnosis on the undock making use of ewar to one another, presumably to hit some AIR objective that will grant them some extra talent factors.
Simply sitting on the undock
On character was a month previous, the opposite was the same old in the future previous, which is what made me suppose that the spike in Gnosis kills I discussed method up above was associated to suicide ganking.
And so it goes. As soon as once more, I can’t show in any tangible method that that is all a suicide ganker alt creation manufacturing facility in progress, however I additionally can’t provide you with a greater clarification that matches the few info I’ve.
Subsequent month the query can be whether or not or not tomorrow’s Revenant enlargement units CCP up for a powerful finish of yr inhabitants.
