The monthly EVE Online economic report has arrived for January 2024.  The start of a fresh new year and a fresh new column in my tracking spreadsheet!

EVE Online nerds harder

As usual, I am going to focus mostly on destruction. You can find things about the general New Eden economy here:

Overall Summary

It is starting to look like Havoc might well and truly be a success.  Its launch saw an increase in activities, but then we got into the holidays and events and that can cause a rise in activity on its own, so it felt like January might tell the tale.  Would the uptick in activity and destruction carry on into the new year past the Winter Nexus and all that?

The answer is yes.

For the top level January number CCP recorded 495,697 losses.  While that is down from the November Havoc launch peak of 570,018, it is still an uptick from the 481,332 losses recorded in December and the holidays.  Before November you have to go back to December 2021 to see that level of loss.

The total ISK value of recorded losses was 46.8 trillion ISK, down a bit from the 47.28 trillion recorded in December.  So on par there.

Moving to my average kills per day metric, January saw 15,988.94 kills per day, well down from the November peak, but a bit of an uptick from December.

So all in all, January turned in solid numbers for CCP.  This aligns with Jester’s rolling average player chart for this month, which shows numbers holding through January, though the seven day average was already starting to droop at the end, perhaps suggesting things were cooling down by mid-month.

Average players online through January 2024

The pattern of destruction through the month is not as indicative of that, though it does continue to follow the usual wave pattern of Saturday and Sunday peaks and mid-week valleys.

January 2024 – Losses by Day

Top 20 Most Frequent Losses by Class and Hull

On to the charts, starting off with the usual count of losses by class and hull.

I commented about the Exequror Navy Issue showing up in such numbers a couple of months back, but now the Imperium has that as a doctrine ship, so we can see it is part of the null sec meta.

Hulls Lost only Once This Month

What was so rare that it was only lost once… filtering out POS towers and modules and fighter groups.

No so many singles in January, but a couple of choice ones, such as the first ever Cybele, an AT XIX ship, destroyed.  Another Geri downed as well, an AT XVIII prize ship.  The Echelon was a give away for the Incursion expansion.  And that Miasmos is a rare version of the ship that has a bay specifically for hauling Quafe.

Total ISK Lost by Hull Type

Most ISK per Hull Lost

This chart is starting to wear on me a bit, if only because the fact that capitals are expensive to lose is a bit of a “duh” sort of result.  Also, the Cybele listed there is probably under valued at 49.38 billion due to its rarity.

Top 20 Regions by ISK and Hull Losses

The regional losses show some evidence of the ongoing boost in faction warfare areas with the Havoc expansion, while null sec is somewhat quiet.

Top 20 Systems by ISK and Hull Losses

When broken down to the system level, you can see that Turnur is one of the prime conflict points, being one of the locations of the ancient Jovian stargates to Zarzakh.

Meanwhile, Uitra continues to dominate the total kill count with the shuttle killing BS that several groups are doing there to exploit some in-game mechanic.  I covered the totals previously, including the fact that 24% of all shuttles destroyed in 2023 were destroyed in Uitra.

Top 20 Wormhole Systems by ISK and Hull Losses

Wormhole space tends to be the most opaque part of New Eden to… well, me at least, so this month I though I would break out some data from that part of the game.

Overall, WH space saw 8.21 trillion ISK in destruction, which was 17.5% of the total amount recorded in New Eden in January, and 55,073 hulls destroyed, which was 11.11% of the overall January count.

2,434 systems in New Eden that fall in the category of WH recorded at least one ship destroyed.  These were the top 20.

J133335 was the hot spot in WH space in January with 241.54 billion ISK lost in the system.  Looking at the losses, which included some structures, there was something serious going on.  Of the participants, these were the top ten alliances when it came to total ISK destroyed.

What Happens in Pochven Stays in Pochven

Finally, with Pochven up in second place for total ISK lost per region, I thought I would break out which systems were the hot spots there.  Pochven saw 2 trillion ISK lost and 20,117 ships destroyed, which are broken out like this in the 27 systems in the region.

And just to cap that off, I will add in the top ten ship by ISK value lost in Pochven in January.

Anyway, that was January in New Eden.  We look to be off to a destructive year and CCP hasn’t even started messing with null sec yet.
