As DOTLAN is currently the biggest history and statistic database for Eve Online. But when it comes to alliance and sovereignty tracking, there’s always room to extend. When we would have a green field, what informations would be really nice to get. Lets start with a wishlist for 2010. I’m sure that most of those ideas won’t made it into eve’s real api world, but that’s what wishes are for.
The return of SovereigntyStatus API
As already blogged, CCP removed this specific API to maintain the current fog of war. This was based mostly of the fact that onlining TCU units were shown via API before somebody was actually in a system to report those. Every other state what you could read from the API was mainly common knowledge. Example: If an alliance has sovereigtny in a particular system, you know that there must be a TCU. If Alliance B is dropping SBU’s in a system where Alliance A has sovereignty you basically have several hundred pilots in space fighting for this system or defending it. With all the intel channels several thousand players already know that there’s a big fight going on for sovereignty. So there’s nothing to hide. (@CCP remove modules in onlining/anchored state and you’re ready to go.)
Additionally if you include SBUs in the API it would be nice to track current campaigns from alliances who’re fighting for/defending their space.
System Indexes
Well, I don’t think I really need to say more. I would love the show more graphs in the System Details and Alliance Lists. Btw the strategicIndex is the most important for the majority of people, cause with Level A you’ll be able to install feature B, etc.
Concord wars
An API that would list current wars and their state would be nice. I know you can query every corp/alliance information ingame, but it would be a really interestesting statistic to show current and past wars of an alliance or corporation. I think R.E.P.O’s list would be never ending š
Batch operations
Querying corporation details for several thousand corps is a pain in the ***. It would be nice to introduce batch opererations where you can query corp details for corp 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 in one API call instead doing X seperated calls. It would recude the CPU and network load tbh.
With just 1 hour left this year, I wish every reader and pilot a happy new year. If I find more things for the wishlist, I’ll update the blog. If you have updates, place a comment here.
Well. Fly safe
I like the Concord wars idea. Thanks for all the work so far!!!
It would be good a region map view, where you can change the date in steps, day after day. So you can see how sov changes goin on in that region, in that month.
Just an idea.
That’s already included. If you check the icons above a region map you’ll notice some arrow icons and a calendar. [<] [Calendar] [>]
Here you can change the sov situation day by day and calendar brings you back
Wow š
Hard to make a new wish, thanks š
Would it be possible to get a fuel calculator for the jumpbridge on the black op?
Range+type of ship+skill = Fuel consumption.
Have not seen this kinda tool anywhere else.
You could for example have 2 drop down boxes in the jump portal navigator where you can choose a ship and skill ( not sure if the skill even does anything ) and if you select any option in it you will also get the jump fuel you will need to bridge X ship.
That sounds like a good idea to me and would greatly fit into the navigation tools. Maybe I’ll find some time after my vacation š
Not sure if this can be done, but a graph to show the weekly average number of players online in a corp or alliance at a certain time, would be good to distinguish witch timezones are most active and also would be good for recruiting and intell gathering purposes
No, it’s not possible, cause this data is not available via API and likely will never be.
I think its possible to show pvp active players by killboard stats. You can show active member percentage in alliance, and corps, and timezones.
But this is a terrible big work, and not perfectly correct datas.
I would love to see a system to track signatures found inside wormholes. This would allow you to build a picture of the patterns worhmholes form when linking to each other.
Submissions could be linked to a login or a group of logins (ie a corp) to be kept private (although you would be still gathering the data) or the submitter could choose to make the information public.
Hello. I’m a brand new user so, at the risk of posting in utter ignorance, I was wondering if it was possible to isolate all low sec systems in one go. As a solo/small gang pirates sort, the ability to view the entire structure of low sec and especially the ability to identify populations and kills therein would be useful. Alternatively, it would be cool to be able to expand the Most Violent Systems list. Please forgive me if Iām posing ideas that have been previously considered or features that exist.
No there’s no real possibility to isolate all lowsec systems in one go. That would have to be a special map for lowsec only or multiple maps. But they’re really wired.
If you wanna have a good overview over all lowsecs with their lowsec/nullsec connections, check out the one from Ombey. In his big 2d-evemaps-pdf file there’s a special map for lowsec only.
I know it’s not online and filled up with live data but a got start for the beginning.
