Probably closer to 2bn if you did this properly.<br /><br />Yes - 1.4bn is probably nothing compared to the size of 4 Empires spread over thousands of planets 20,000 years in the future which will be in the trillions of people?<br /><br />Yes - 1.2bn still sounds a huge number to the people reading this. i.e. Earthlings of 2012 and not residents of New Eden 22,012.<br /><br />:o)Drackarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450640948811964177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1966268702453044660.post-72076477783433058602012-02-03T02:47:03.485-08:002012-02-03T02:47:03.485-08:00OK...

The current population and growth/loss % per year of New Eden as a whole (all races field ships right)<br /><br />2. The number of NPC ships/types lost & thier crew losses for same period.<br /><br />From these you can calculate the % of population affected (read: shot, lazered, railgunned, blastered, asploded and burnt to a crackly crisp in a horrible fire, flash frozen in the depths of the black, scooped up and put on display or sold at auction) by Capsuleers.<br /><br />I'm bettin it's a "YIKES" number!!!Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1966268702453044660.post-36825213003918385252012-02-02T19:56:07.720-08:002012-02-02T19:56:07.720-08:00I took the kills by hull types for December and Ja...I took the kills by hull types for December and January and multiplied them by 6 to get a rough idea for the year. I then took the mid point between the minimum and maximum crew numbers for each hull. Finally I applied the survival rates.<br /><br />It's not exact, for instance I only got numbers of cap hulls, and there is a huge difference between a dreadnought (18k crew) and a titan (145k crew). But 1.4bn is a good starting point.<br /><br />I take your point about the population of New Eden... but still.... 1.4 billion is a lot of people!Drackarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450640948811964177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1966268702453044660.post-32361183684936371722012-02-02T18:45:19.708-08:002012-02-02T18:45:19.708-08:001.4 billion crewpersons die each year on board cap...1.4 billion crewpersons die each year on board capsuleer ships?
