YC 113.08.01 - YC 113.08.31

August saw a large number of the alliances that make up the Drone Region Forces (DRF) coalition launch an assault on the Against All Authorities (AAA) alliance homeland of Catch. The key systems of HED-GP and GE-8JV have fallen to the DRF, with fighting causing a colossal 19,420 capsuleer vessels and structures to be destroyed by other capsuleers in Catch this month.

This level of fighting is the highest seen in the Catch region since CONCORD records began in late YC109, even though Catch is one of the most actively hostile regions in new eden with over nine thousand losses per month on average. Of the 19,420 losses, 2,329 were battleships, 1,429 were battlecruisers and 6,701 were capsules, creating what was certainly a profitable month for the cloning industry.

This new conflict has drawn some focus away from the ongoing fighting in Delve, which again saw some fierce fighting. This high level of conflict has now lasted for three months and resulted in 13,446 capsuleer losses this month. Whilst lower than the last two months this is still more than double the historical average of around 6,000. The main participants were again the Morsus Mihi and Brick Squad alliances, though the Evoke alliance has also joined the conflict, destroying 2,632 ships for 1,327 losses this month in Delve.

Many systems within EVE are notoriously dangerous, so this month CONCORD has decided to release information on which null security systems have seen the largest numbers of losses since January of YC110. The top five systems were as follows:

All of these systems share their position as being a null security entry point from empire space, acting as a choke point which capsuleers have to move through in order to get to less hostile areas of lawless space. The largest chokepoints of the north and south, EC-P8R and HED-GP were surprisingly only separated by eleven ship losses.

Statistics for August:
Supercapitals destroyed: 3 titans, 10 supercarriers
Supercapitals built: 23 titans, 125 supercarriers
Outposts built: 10

YC 113.07.01 - YC 113.07.31

This month saw elements of the DRF, primarily NC., Pandemic Legion and Raiden launch an attack on the Goonswarm Federation home region, Deklein. The primary goal is believed to have been to acquire a grasp on as many technetium rich moons as possible due to their immense income potential. The initial launch of the campaign saw limited success; however the attackers were rapidly repelled. This conflict saw Deklein increase in terms of numbers of vessels destroyed from 4,529 in June to 8,390 in July.

More capsuleer alliances have been moving to the Delve region, where a great deal of instability has created an almost "free for all" style situation, with 16,168 capsuleer vessels being destroyed this month. The two largest participants in this were the allies Morsus Mihi and Brick Squad, with Morsus Mihi destroying 3,896 vessels and losing 3,057 and Brick Squad destroying 2,369 and losing 2,265. 71 territorial claim units were also destroyed, indicating substantial territorial disputes.

This month DED has declassified the names of the ten alliances who struck the most final blows against capsuleer vessels from the beginning of Y110 to the end of this month. For the purpose of this report they excluded any losses of shuttles, capsules or rookie vessels. They are as follows;

Statistics for July:
Supercapitals destroyed: 2 titans, 29 supercarriers
Supercapitals built: 23 titans, 108 supercarriers
Outposts built: 19

YC 113.06.01 - YC 113.06.30

This month saw a colossal swing in the balance of power within the null security regions, with the group of alliances known as the "Northern Coalition" (NC) almost entirely losing their grasp over their holdings of several years. This sudden collapse has taken place after months of warring with the DRF (Drone Region Forces) coalition, resulting in the regions of Tribute, Branch and Tenal changing hands.

The focal point of this collapse was Tribute, which as the home of the Northern Coalition's largest alliance, Morsus Mihi, was long considered its capital region. With Tribute now firmly in the hands of DRF allies and the alliances of the NC on the move to other areas of new eden, this marks the close of this campaign.

Several of the displaced alliances have moved to a new area of operations, the former IT Alliance homeland of Delve. Whilst this conflict only seems to be getting started, CONCORD has registered a substantial increase in the number of capsuleer-piloted vessels being destroyed there. In total, 14,974 vessels are registered as being lost in Delve during June compared to only 6,081 in May and an average of 5,061 per month from Jan 1^st to May 31^st.

A new initiative by DED with these reports will be to report on a different statistic deemed to be of potential interest to capsuleers each month. This month, we have investigated which regions have seen the most losses on average each month since the current system of vessel loss registration began in late YC109.

The five most hostile regions are, based on average losses per month:
Syndicate - 14,130
Pure Blind - 10,564
Curse - 10,155
Providence - 9,636
Catch - 9,216

Statistics for June:
Supercapitals destroyed: 8 titans, 13 supercarriers
Supercapitals built: 24 titans, 123 supercarriers
Outposts built: 10

We are upgrading the infrastructure EVElopedia is hosted on and we expect it to be down on Monday, January 30 between 14:00 and 16:00 UCT while we make the necessary changes.  Apologies for any inconvenience this causes you all and rest assured, my love for you remains as true as it ever was.
