Gods of the Server (Dav, that means you), it's time to start looking at stats.
Take an equivalent 24hr period from before and after the patch and publish the following:
Cmdr hours logged
Cmdr deaths
Bounties claimed
Missions completed
Goods traded
Etc.
I know the update means that a lot of people will be trying new things but I'm pretty sure some of these stats would reveal the impacts of the update.
Figuring out which bits are having which impacts is a bit harder of course.
