Good Evening,
So I was looking for the economic report that was published today and I had a couple of questions about the data that I was able to gleam from it. Thank you in advance for helping a new bro like me figure this out.


1. In graph one titled "Production vs Destroyed" the line "Produced (End products only)", what does this mean? I see at the bottom where is shows the value of items "mined" and "destroyed". Does this mean that more products are be manufactured then the amount of minerals mined is far less then what is being produced? If so, how is this possible or is it long term viable? Inless people have made massive stock piles over the years?

2. On the "Net Imports" section, I see The Citidal has a massive amount of net imports. Should I assume that this is people buying in Perm and moving items back and forth from Jita for the lower fees?

3. I would assume by imports and exports that most manufacturing is done in Lonetrek?

4. Are EC's making that big of a punch in the isk sink? Instead of the fees leaving the game most are going to players now.

5. Why did the money supply drop when alphas started. They all start with isk, wouldnt this make it go up?

I suspect the production spike is related to engineering complexes, although there also seems to be quite a bit of capital production going on. The chart is based on value, not quantity. Prices for minerals dropped when Alphas started mining. Prices for salvage, PI and rogue drone materials have gone higher. Space could end up littered with abandoned structures - CCP has given people very little incentive to destroy them.

The net imports are for Providence, not Citadel. That appears to be an anomaly - it didn't exist last month.

Most production is done in the Forge, Lonetrek and Citadel are 2nd and 3rd.

Job cost goes to CCP whether the job is submitted in NPC station or EC - it's a function of base cost and system cost index. Taxes are a percentage of job cost. Players are collecting more tax than CCP but the job cost is at least 10 time the total tax.

The money supply did grow in November. I suspect players bought blueprints for the new stuff on patch day creating the blip.

alphas are most certainly not the reason for dropping mineral prices. it's the rorquals
