Daily Reports

[Silmar]

Stations provide a number of Daily Reports including:

• Bounty Hunter Report.
• Crime Report.
• Traffic report.

I had assumed that these covered the whole of the system and were updated at the Tick. However I have today noticed today that there are differences in the numbers for these reports for different stations in a system. So my questions are:

1. Are these reports covering the whole system or do they just cover a specific station?
2. Do the reports update on the Tick or are they dynamic, always giving you the figures for the last 24 hours?

Can anyone help?

1. The whole system.
2. I think it's the last 24 h. Quite sure the figures vary a bit when you check at different times.
2.1. If 2. is wrong...it's per tick.

Traffic report is for the entire system. It will track any ship that has passed through the system (including ships that haven't docked)

I'm curious how it determines that, since a smattering of NPCs are spawned when you enter an instance, and a few more the longer you stay there. :/

It's like the tree falling in the forest. In Elite, if there is nobody there to see the NPC, I believe they don't exist! Now someone's going to come and say it follows the schroedinger's cat model... lol

IIRC .. I don't think the reports (traffic reports anyway) count NPC's .. only Elite Pilots' Federation members (aka. players) and on all game formats too (xbox/playstation/PC/solo/pvt group and open, are all included in the report, not just the format you play in)

^^This. It also does not count individual CMDRs but (player) ships that pass the system. So you'll be counted 2x if you enter/leave the system 2x.

All these reports

- cover a 24hr period
- seem to be updated "near-realtime", subject only to Server latency in collecting and redistributing the numbers (means i.e. your own Ship might not be visible in the Traffic Report right after docking), delay can be upto 30+ Minutes
- count all Player events only
- count across all Modes and Platforms (unified Galaxy)
