Analysing the ELW data from EDDB/EDSM

[schlowi123]

I checked briefly the data for ringed ELW's.
1.: Mostly not enough data, except …
2.: … in A-d and F-d systems have been more than 300 ringed ELW's found since the FSS.

The chance to find an ELW in an A-d or F-d system is approx the same (a bit better in the former); see above.
A preliminary (!) result for ringed ELW's is that the chance to find one in an A-d system is with ca. 0.046 % double as high as to find one in a F-d system with ca. 0.022 %.

That was a bit of a surprise. On the other hand are the absolute numbers still a bit small for exact conclusions.

Edit: I ran a short analysis over the complete data (so NOT just after the FSS)
That gives for A-d / F-d systems 741 / 778 found ringed ELW's which gives you a chances of 0.061 / 0.031 percent to find an ELW in the given system.
So this effect might be real.

About ringed ELWs: there was this thread as well. I've added the updated version of it here, see the first post, this sheet.

In a nutshell: look at mass code D systems (88.18% of total rELWs), preferrably ones with only one primary star (63.56% of code D rELWs), and it's probably better to stick to higher stellar density regions, but stay outside the galactic core.
However, the latter part about the distribution is still uncertain, and most likely to stay that way, what with the chances for ringed ELWs being as they are. Even if it's real though, the difference certainly isn't large.

I didn't go into star classes there, only into mass codes. However, the data is already there (in the first post), so I'll do that later too. I don't expect different results from schlowi's, but it would be good to extend what's in the sheet.

Oh sorry, I hadn't seen this thread before. But well, we came to the same conclusion … masscode < d > it should be … hey, that rhymes … maybe that's the secret to find binary ELWs (both ringed) around main star Neutron stars

I realised that I made some errors on the ELW activity analysis, and the numbers of systems and bodies per month were slightly off. That's corrected now, but the results didn't change much. I also included June into this now, but not in the other data. I'll take a look at the end of July too, see how things might have changed after DW2 was entirely over. I don't plan to continue update this afterwards, though.
Curiously, the ELW / Sys recovered a bit from the drop to 0.31% in May. Less people chain-boosting back to the bubble, perhaps? However, bodies scanned per system has hit a new monthly low (for the FSS era), 3.82.

For the record, from July 1 to 18, 2427 proc. gen. ELWs so far, with ELW / Sys going down from 0.43% to 0.36%, ELW / bodies down from the usual 0.11-0.12% to 0.09% and bodies scanned per system from 3.82% to 3.7%. I'll be curious to see how much of a difference the remaining days will make.
