Just on this part, looking at commonly ganked ships quickly, whether zkillboard is a good source of data or not is something I’ve been interested in for a long time.
For freighters (my main interest as part of keeping my own hauling safe), I’ve known for a while that the data is good, but always thought it might be less so for other ship classes.
Surprisingly though, zkillboard has a very high percentage of losses for a number of ships:
Aside from ventures at around 90% of losses, the others are all >95%.
So from the perspective of using zkillboard to look at ganking, it appears it’s a pretty good data source.
