153 freighters killed according to a quick glance at killboards.

You can do this Touval Lysander! I believe in you!

So now I know the number of km's being included in the 1.5t number. Yay!! I could not work from a dollar value (1.5t) because KM's calculate wrong. But you KNEW that.

I am positive ONE of you saw the difficulty in me "doing my own homework" when one is not aware of the ranges being used to arrive at n number.

In the first instance I did not have the date range to arrive at n
I did not know if n was inclusive of destroyed cargo?

Thus we can deduce that I was unable to calculate x freighters killed to arrive at n and no amount of looking at killboards would provide that data.

But you KNEW that too. You guys are far too clever to assume everybody has access to what you know by default because someone else already did the numbers for YOU.

We're moving forward.... A good thing. Blink


Oh, look someone's trying to apply mathmatical concepts from the 9th grade. This really is adorable.


This isn't accurate at all, since you're not worth me sitting down for half an hour figuring out actual values for you. So lets do some pretending~

1.5 trillion isk dead. Now, lets say it takes 10 T2 talos to kill a freighter. Each talos costs us 100m isk. That's a billion per freighter. Now, because of drop rates, chances of failures, maybe people have all the good cargo in one stack, whatever we're going to say I need to kill freighters worth at least 3bn. This is the absolute minimum. Lets pretend the actual average kill was 5b, because some people are idiots and drive 40bn worth of minerals around.

1.5T killed, mind you.

1500 divided by five is 300. From this we can ~deduce~ that three hundred freighters multiplied by one billion isk is three hundred billion.

The answer is 300bn. It costs ~roughly~ 300bn to kill that many freighters, give or take a hundred billion.


See how easy this is? Math is FUNdamental!

You were taking EVE a bit too seriously.

It's almost like it's difficult to go to eve-kill.net, search for goonswarm federation, look at kills and go month by month and do the numbers.

But just almost.

So when I do this amazing new thing called LOOK, should I +1 freighters to include cargo lost until I reach 1.5t or just +1 to freighters killed until I arrive at 1.5t?

See, that's the sticky bit Zim. baltec never actually said WHAT was included in the 1.5t. And he did post the number for us all to see and admire.

And really, all this faffing could be instantly negated by just giving me a rough estimate. Or we can post all day on it. w/e

It's Sunday where I live and I'm so bored I'm just poasting in a Goon thread to pass the time.

You?

step 1) Open eve-kill
step 2) search for goonswarm federation
step 3) search for freighters and jumpfreighters killed in hisec
step 4) use an abacus

Now, lets say it takes 10 T2 talos to kill a freighter. Each talos costs us 100m isk. That's a billion per freighter.

153 x 1b = [insert random number]

Not so hard was it.

Far, far too easy and it took me MUCH less time than actually working it out.

I have this vision of Touval Lysander sitting in a dark room staring at his laptop and dancing around in glee every time a Goon responds to one of his posts.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)
