EVE General Discussion

Ok. Jump bridges and jump drives too I guess. I wasn't aware they were included in that data on the map. So I apologise for the mistake if that's the case.

The question was asked what can be derived? That's a view of that and not inconsistent with anything.

You can't bridge and cyno INTO highsec... you can cyno out.

But I was referring to wormholes. But in spirit of your virulent defense of data involving ship kills, I figured you would want to note the distinction in the fact we don't know IF people are taking gates or holes.

Yes of course. I do it regularly on my industry alt. I'm quite familiar with the mechanics. I'm still I guess missing the inconsistency in what I said.

If the map shows jumps and those jumps include bridges and cyno jumps (low and null), then sure that data shows that.

I still cant quite grasp how I was being inconsistent to conclude that lots of people use gates. Can you explain where that is inconsistent?

Don't worry you're still cool. Even more data to enjoy.

Data says little on it's own. It's the analysis of it that draws out meaning (or not as the case may be).

So yes, data is great as a source to understand things. Trying to draw out the proper understanding (and not all things have a 'proper' understanding) is the challenge and most interesting part.

How is he defining active characters?

Good tool for hunting too. Jumps in last hour / 24h is another great option in there.

And I think I agree. Most null systems have the potential to be more dangerous, depending on what is happening in them - but overall, trade hubs are more dangerous than any single null system, besides staging systems (Which are only dangerous if you are neutral / red). Hubs are also dangerous for any larger organisation, due to wardecs.

I haven't done much in low, so *shrug* not really sure how dangerous it is there.

If a character has access to the game, then the associated account is active.

There are a number of options. My accounts are generally this:

So all of my characters are active on the accounts that are active.

In addition:

Active: Paying with PLEX
Active: Trial Account (may be wrong wording there. I need to go start a new account to check)

There may be more, but they all are states where a character has access to the game because the account is active.

This topic has drawn over a hundred responses in such a short period of time. That in itself is interesting. I'm not going to try to be knowledgeable or profound. I'm sure that's been covered. I have, however, spent some time over the years looking at on the map specifically what the OP suggests - old map and new.

My reaction is, it rarely changes. There are flare-ups sometime. However, the PvP activity is always generally the same, though it moves around a lot. Jita has always been that huge orange ball. In fact, that stat part of the map is so consistent, I've found it offers not much by way of information on the whole.

However, that kills the past hour, and 24-hours for specific systems? Always a must. Never forget to take a look if you're wandering into parts unknown. BECAUSE, what you don't know can surely cost you a lot of ISKIES.

Interesting choice of topics, OP.

Hmm so it looks like High sec is more dangerous than Null. Although Null is more populated....
