The raw data that makes up this report can be downloaded here. (22.90MB)


For deeper understanding of the indices used in the report, please have a look at the following explanations.

Mineral Price Index (MPI)
The Mineral Price Index (MPI) shows the price changes in all eight minerals used to produce ships and other items in EVE. The weight of each mineral in the index changes each month is based on the relative trade values of the previous month.

Primary Producer Price Index (PPPI)
The Primary Producer Price Index consists of manufacturing items used for the production of other manufacturing items at the secondary stage. Manufacturing items used for the production of final consumer goods are excluded. The index includes such item groups as ore, moon materials, planetary commodities, sleeper relics, and items used in invention.

Secondary Producer Price Index (SPPI)
The Secondary Producer Price Index contains production materials and other production items that are used in the manufacturing of consumer goods, i.e. goods included in the Consumer Price Index.

Consumer Price Index (CPI)
The Consumer Price Index measures the overall price changes of consumer products. This is not limited to consumables such as fuel, ammunition or PLEX, but also includes assets such as ships, modules, implants and starbase structures. In summary, anything that is not primarily used to produce other goods is included in the index, which contains over 4000 individual items.

@CCP_Falcon
how long does it take for an account to become “inactive” and to be represented in “Active ISK delta” part of “Faucets/Sinks” graph?

Why is null not fighting? Are people there less risk-taking than those in high sec?

Everything is down. Looks good.

BO begins and bounties plummet over 1 TRILLION ISK; merely 40% of what it was a month earlier. BO ends and it immediately begins to rapidly rise. Since BO didn’t effect LS/HS and WH already is in a BO effect, it is clear that something urgent needs to be done to rein in Null Sec bounties, BEYOND what they already did with VNIs and Supers. BO was effective, but not fair or good gameplay. However, it is clear that NS bounties need to effectively, but fairly, reduced.

This will of course raise howling from the NS wolves if anyone dares touch their easy prey (and isk) to reduce the faucet for a healthier game.

Proof that the Blackout was a resounding success. CCP however needs to soul search on if it wants to lose botter revenue for the game’s long term health or continue to buckle to their will.

Finally… the economy indicies - full history is the most usefull thing posted in the last couple months… you dont have to think:
sssssshit what was there? what is this peak on the report? maybe the triglavians? who knows…

thanks lot for it.

Looks like miner botting is under control.

:upside_down_face:

PLEX is not in any index according to the Baskets file.

I thought PLEX was a currency, not an item.

Miner botting? Wth you talking about? they don’t have to use bots… sit in 20 rorqual is not hard… go and shoot them if you want some change stop bitching and docking all day…

PLEX shows up as an Accessory in the basket list, but N/A for Primary Index, and N/A for Sub-Index. There is an Accessory sub-index in the Details file, but it seems to only contain injectors.

You talk complete nonsense.
The ISK one can make in Nullsec is not too different from Incursions or Abyss or whatever.
Wormholes are by far the most profitable and safest option.

That means absolutely nothing without determining what the most common way for a PvE setup to die in NullSec is. If you’re trying to compare WHs to NullSec, you should probably have the data from NullSec to compare it to, otherwise you don’t have an argument. At all.

Saying that any activity which involves a ship in space is “100%” safe renders the entire argument dubious.

Also, you can’t just compare “WH’s” as a monolith to NullSec. C5/C6 space is an entirely different animal from lowclass WH space. Maybe you should read the entire text before throwing it at someone. :slight_smile:

Can somebody explain to me how is it possible that region Detorid has the greatest Net Export value of all by far, when this region has also a relative low production and mining indexes? Considering also that Detorid has one of the highest “Destruction of Value” indexes, I cannot stop wondering what is that they are exporting?
