Bit of fun - based of the eddb data dumps. Could well be some errors (I found some this morning ), but hey
So here are the numbers for how many FC have been updated each day in eddb - if they've been updated then someone probably docked at them (owner or visitor). The 'moved' number indicates if they moved to a different system (and also requires them to have been updated). You can see the effect of the mining breakage from the 15th - the number of updates and movements both start to slide (though they seem to have stabilised now). The chart also points to how many FC are not moving ... 'quite a few'.
But .. I hear you say ... those numbers don't add up - eddb is reporting 9000+ FC - where are the other 7000+? Next we look at 'how long since each FC was updated in eddb':
(This is based upon a single eddb dump from recently) We can see that there are a number of FC recently updated in the dump, but it then there is a long tail of up to 38 days with no updates (as far back as my data goes). Is there a better way to show this?
Well, here is the cumulative chart of the same data:
You can see that 50% of FC have been updated in the last 10 days. This chart also help illustrate why the numbers in the 1st chart are so low - a lot of FC aren't updated very often, so only show up sporadically in daily data.
Finally - let's look at the number of jumps that FC make, and how many systems they jump to. (Noting that the eddb dumps are daily, so we completely miss FC that and hopping around a lot, they'll only get counted as having jumped):
(This data is from approx 3 weeks starting the 7th July). Again - only around 7k FC were seen at all (if you add up all the bars) - so the other 2k were not touched. And of the 7k that were visited 3k+ didn't move during that 20 days ( I guess they are maybe Squadron assets and just parked in their local systems). If you squint you can see that the count of jumps made is bigger than the corresponding 'systems visited', so there are a few jumping between the same systems.
I'm quite surprised by the small numbers of FC making a lot of jumps (just over 600 (out of 9000) were seen in 7 different systems over the 20 days) - I kinda expected FC to be used to run errands around the bubble (I know I do), but it seems a lot are stationary. Maybe this will change once mining is fixed.
That's all!
(Usual caveats: The data is based on eddb dumps, so will miss FC that are private / have never been uploaded - so they may be acting a lot differently to the sample, but probably not)
