EVE General Discussion

So using the EVE api I downloaded the star system list and their connections and ran several network and visualization analysis on the data. I found some interesting results and posted a complete visual which is searchable on my blog for all to see EVE Universe Map Using Network Analysis

One of the interesting things I found is that the CCP Devs used clustering in naming the regions and sectors within EVE based on the number of jumps between groups of systems--a high number of jumps (algorithmically) creates a region. There's a bunch of other subtle stuff like this which I'll write up in a blog post sometime.

Here's a little of the meaty parts of the analysis:

Systems with high levels of the BC score are great for gate-camping because of the low likelihood of concord or other corp or alliances being able to respond. They also cross over regions (they are the big(er) circles on the searchable visual) which means that escape for those who choose to battle on behalf of their alliances is more likely because there are multiple escape routes.

Systems with high levels of EVC are great for trade. they are (probability-wise) are more likely to have items bough from, plus because high EVC systems are clustered together, they form clusters of trade hubs ******(if you search for Jita or Rens, you'll see that they are neither, which means that they are unnatural trade hubs--all marketing and word of mouth--if the forums didn't exist Jita and Rens WOULD NOT be trade hubs) *********

There are other factors involved in making war, trade, and flying decisions of course, but I think a common alliance vs. alliance war problem is that they don't have a good grasp of the lay of land so to speak. My maps can help them make better decisions, and I'm willing to trade!

Enjoy

You have all graph vertices as in and out degrees, however, that is not how the Eve unvierse is, you are plotting one edge as two.

I fail to trust your intrepertation of the data as it seems incorrect. Eve universe is not a Di-graph.

This is cool, thank you!

Nice to see a deeper analysis of Eve and it's regions! Looking forward to your blogposts!

Model does not mesh with reality -> reality is wrong.

Your underlaying model is incorrect, Eve universe is NOT a di-graph.

With such a flawed model, how do you expect us to take your findings seriously when your method is incorrect fundamentally?

Looks like Star Map with the jumps in last hour tab...

I misunderstood, I thought it was a traffic jam flow chart.

Who said anything about scientific? It was mostly fun, and I was testing my code...:) you don't see any tests of significance do you? thanks for your insight..
