C4 space has always been seen as trash for PvE (due to site spawn distances) and anecdotally there is a bias against C4 residents historically. There is likely also a belief that C5 space still has lots of PvP which just doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. I suspect C3s and C5s are common statics because they are both good farming classes for 300m+ ISK per hour. Obvious very few people have a C1 static because they’re generally useless wormholes and are difficult to roll. Sadly, a proper brawl is difficult to come by these days. It’s troubling because we didn’t brawl over objectives like nullseccers do. You can catch a glimpse of it these days when your logi are on point or if you build for buffer, but heavy armour as a concept is a little bit dead. I remember being a line member in Lazerhawks back in 2015-16 and the usual fights were truly immense. This topic itself is huge so I’ll limit myself for now and cover it in a later article, but the community isn’t particularly happy about how our brawls don’t happen any more. You combine that with our typical brawl ships melting unless they have turbo bling/Amulet implants and you get an unhealthy wormhole brawl meta. Caps which now have much-reduced resists and in the case of FAXes, heavily reduced capacitors. A Leshak (or Ikitursa) fleet still brings an unprecedented level of power to a brawl, especially when melting caps. FAX changes, and Triglavian ships existing. So why are C5 and C6 so… quiet? I could write a whole article on this but it seems like it’s down to a combo of Surgical Strike. Living in a C1 or a C3 isn’t great because it means you rarely have reliable connections into the rest of wormhole space. Most of the active PvP groups are living in C4s and C2s simply for the plentiful connections for more PvP. If we take the results as they are, though, they do reflect what I have seen in wormhole space anecdotally. It might also be that many of the high-class residents dislike me personally and refused to fill in my survey for that reason. This pretty much follows the pattern I expected, though it really does highlight the lack of people living in C5/C6 space. To start with, let’s go over the basic stats for each question, starting with corps! The top ten corps (by number of respondents) to answer the survey are below. I did this to create some better scatter plots which aren’t entirely defined to a grid which just hides all the responses on one single dot. This is randomised up between 0 and 1 below the selected value. You will also notice some randomised values in there alongside the sentiment responses. There is no reason to publish those publically. The names were for the giveaway and the corps give me an idea of which groups participated. If you’re an expert at data analysis and can pull some more useful information out of this then contact me on Discord and I’ll get your analysis presented here in the article! Names and corps have been omitted from the public data. I’m also going to provide a document with the full results at the Google Sheets link below. It’s a hell of a lot of useful data but as you’ll see from the results below, they’re a little bit predictable. I’ve pruned it down a little bit since to remove trolls and “click the same thing for everything” answers but there are still over 800 results to play with. That was a lot more than I expected! I closed the Great Big Wormhole Survey about 10 days ago with 833 total responses.
