Okay I can be in a system camping it for 8 hours, see 2, 3, maybe 5 in ships an hour at best, and the bloody map says 7, 12, 30 jumps in the last hour? Whose CCP pod do I ransom for this bullshit? Seriously? The map is bugged beyond all ******* repair.

Are you taking into account the ships that don't need gates to jump?

Just saying, never know :)

What do you mean by “see n ships”? As in “they appear in local?” or as in “they pass by your gate”? Does the system have other gates?

You know, seeing ships is totally different from jumping

Considering Local is still not accurate, this should surprise no one.
CCP, bringing you better gaming thru buggageddon. Cool

Does it count jumping in and jumping out for jumps?

You say "can", but what you actually mean is "I have been camping a system for 8 hours"

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

This. Assuming each ship both enters and leaves, that's 2 jumps a ship. And of course, that's assuming you saw every single ship that entered or left the system.

OP does have a point, I often check how many pilots docked and active in map, and it says none, while me and someone else are in the station, map is bugged.

Each ship has to jump twice too, once in, once out.

Op not eve sure how many ships were in local over that time period. Smart Moneys on the quoted truth

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

What does "docked and active" even mean?

Also, these statistics have a delay.

More than likely there is a several hour delay in the updating of that information. It certainly would not be a live update feed anyways.

Several hour delay on the statistic "Jumps in the last hour", yes that makes perfect sense.

I think he means he checked two different statistics: the docked number, and the active number.

It can be laggy enough like it is, map/local give more than it should with instant gratis information, where's the unpredictable?

As far as the map's concerned: the other pilots are the unpredictable. It's also good to note that the map doesn't tell you who's in system, or where they are in system beyond docked/undocked. Also, the part of local that tells you who's in system is apparently being worked on to make it less intel-y.
