Fighting for your Race, or Empire in EVE Online used to mean performing repetitive missions, constantly taking out a ‘dangerous’ Pirate NPC, or annoying Outpost that just doesn’t seem to disappear, no matter how many times you see it explode. Not any more.
CCPs most recent addition to their arsenal of addons – The Empyrean Age – allows players to engage in combat with the enemies of their chosen Empire, by joining with the Militia. This opens up a whole new can of worms with regards to PVP, not only in Low Sec, but also – as enemies of the Empire count as War Targets – in High Sec.
The graph this post is linked to shows the impact The Empyrean Age has had on the number of Pod Pilots killed in Low and High Sec space before, and directly after the introduction of these new features.

Continuing from my previous post, regarding parsing jump data from CCPs EVE Online, I wanted to make the maps appear a bit more friendly on the eyes, instead of just one large mass of points and spheres. To do this, I would have to generate perimeters for each region, to constrain all solar systems to their parent region. Having no idea how I could go about this, I put my thinking cap on. (more…)
Over the weekend, I had a spare hour or so and whipped up a quick map generator, based upon jump gate usage information gleaned from the EVE API. Using this data, in hand with the SQL dump I’m able to generate a map displaying jump frequency in a graphical form. (more…)
Ideas flowing, coming faster than the fingers can keep up, but that’s ok because attention is not required. Nests within nests, deep-set recursive madness. Arrays, oh god, the arrays! Then clarity..everything slots in to place, you are no longer trying to code, you simply are. Welcome to the trance. (more…)
Well, it’s been a couple of years and Psilocybeing finally thought it was time to give Othala.co.uk a face lift, and so he is happy to present the new and improved Othala.co.uk!
