BGoat The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 130	Posted - 2013.10.06 19:26:00 - [1] - Quote Quick Link http://www.dustcharts.com Want to see what events are happening in Planetary Conquest, as they happen? Looking for an easy target to attack? Curious about which Alliances and Corporations hold the most districts? These are just a few of the questions you can find answers to on the DUST Charts website! Currently, the site is primarily geared toward Planetary Conquest, since the only data exposed through the CREST API is related to Districts in Molden Heath. However, as CCP exposes more API Endpoints to the public, a broader range of features will be developed and released. DUST Charts currently offers the following functionality: LIVE DASHBOARD Activity Feed Vulnerable Districts List Breakdown of Reinforcement Time for all Districts Count of Districts Under Attack, Generating Clones, Locked and Unlocked Current ISK Value of all Clones in Molden Heath DISTRICTS OWNERSHIP VISUALIZATION By Corporation By Alliance DISTRICTS SEARCH Great for searching for targets to attack! View all data for every district Sort by any field Filter results on the fly by typing in the Search box CORPORATIONS DASHBOARD Listing of all Corporations participating in Planetary Conquest Top 5 Greediest Corporations (highest tax rate) Top 5 Richest Corporations (based on current clone biomass value) Top 5 Largets Corporations (by member count) Top 5 Bullied Corporations (by number of districts under attack) All Corporations link to their own Corporation Overview page CORPORATION OVERVIEW Details Alliance membership CEO Tax Rate Member Count Districts Held Insights Total Clone count Total Clone capacity Total Clone Biomass Value Molden Heath Ownership Share Held Districts Reinforcement Time Breakdown Held Districts Infrastructure Type Breakdown District Holdings All data for districts held by Corporation Sortable and Searchable Recent Activity Only events pertaining to Corporation ALLIANCE DASHBOARD Listing of all Corporations participating in Planetary Conquest Top 5 Greediest Alliances (highest average tax rate of member corporations) Top 5 Richest Alliances (based on current clone biomass value) Top 5 Largets Alliances (by member count) Top 5 Bullied Alliances (by number of districts under attack) All Corporations link to their own Alliance Overview page ALLIANCE OVERVIEW Details Tax Rate Member Count Corporation Count Districts Held Insights Total Clone count Total Clone capacity Total Clone Biomass Value Molden Heath Ownership Share Held Districts Reinforcement Time Breakdown Held Districts Infrastructure Type Breakdown District Holdings All data for districts held by Alliance Sortable and Searchable Recent Activity Only events pertaining to Alliance Chat Embedded IRC Chat (#dust514 on irc.coldfront.net) In addition to what is listed above, some of the features coming soon include: Trending Dashboards (visualizing data over time) More Event Types in the Activity Feed Filter Activity Feed by Event Type Constellation, Solar System, Planet and District Dashboards and Overview pages Event Notifications -- Get an email when your corporation is attacked, loses a distrct, etc! And much more... Many nights and weekends were spent building DUST Charts in my spare time, so humor me and check it out if you haven't already http://www.dustcharts.com Any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated!

BGoat The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 133	Posted - 2013.10.06 20:35:00 - [3] - Quote Darth-Carbonite GIO wrote: This is fantastic! How long did it take you to get it all working? Thanks Overall, it took about a month to get the site to a state that I felt was worthy of releasing to the public. About 30% of that time was spent on operational tasks, such as domain registration and configuration, setting up hosting, monitoring, tracking, etc. Another 30% of the time was spent on the back-end infrastructure for collecting the data, analyzing it, aggregating it and persisting it, and the internals of building and deploying releases of the application. The remaining 40% was all spent on building the user interface, integrating the front-end with external services and configuring the application. There were a few stops and starts during that time while I was traveling, putting in long hours at work, adopting and taking care of a new puppy (wow, she is a handful ), etc. There were additional features I really wanted to finish before launching, but sometimes it's better to SHIP IT and iterate, versus trying to make it perfect from the very start. In my day job, I primarily work on back-end infrastructure, so making the site look good was quite a challenge I'm trying to keep the site clean and easy for a user to look at without being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information on the page, as is the case with many EVE sites out there. Hopefully, I am accomplishing that. Feel free to use the buttons in the upper right to share the site on Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus if you know other people that may want to check it out.

I don't care about PC but it's great to see someone making use of the new CREST API. (I'm a programmer myself) Can't wait for them to add more data to it. I like what you've done - nice job! Thanks! I'm really hoping we will get access to player data from matches. The amount of data may be very large, but I'd love the opportunity to tackle that big data problem. Maybe ingest it into Hadoop and use MapReduce to crunch some serious numbers. It would be interesting to build new leader boards that actually allow you to filter out the junk (unlike in the game -- seriously, who cares that a guy with 10 kills has a 10:1 k/d ratio?). It would also be possible to report on additional metrics like wp/death or custom metrics like what they have going on over at dust514stats. Really, any additional data that isn't exclusive to Planetary Conquest will make DUST Charts far more useful to the average player. Here's to hoping...

BGoat The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 140	Posted - 2013.10.07 00:02:00 - [7] - Quote The legend345 wrote: Cool, but where are you coming up with the richest corp numbers? The moniker "Richest Corporations" may be a bit misleading and I should probably think of a better description for that section. The numbers you see are calculated in a very simple manner, using the following data points: Total Clones Currently Possessed by Corporation (TC) Biomass Value of one Clone (BV) TC * BV = Clone Biomass Net Worth But that just doesn't have the same ring to it as "Richest Corporations" Obviously, I can't possibly know how much ISK a corporation or alliance has in their coffers, since I can't see into corporate wallets, so this is the next best thing for now. Soon, I will be exposing running totals for ISK profit from clone sales (last 24 hours, last week, last month, etc), which will probably be more interesting.

It helps me get a handle on what exactly is going on in PC and has taught me quite a bit. I can see that I was badly misinformed about what was going on. The site looks really crisp and uncomplicated. Thanks for doing this. Munch I'm glad the site has been able to teach you things about Planetary Conquest! It is pretty cool to see just how organized certain Corporations are when it comes to managing the reinforcement times and infrastructure types of their districts. At one point, I think TeamPlayers had around 65 districts and had managed the reinforcement times to fall strictly within a 4-6 hour period each day, which I found impressive. I really didn't know much beyond the basics when it came to Planetary Conquest before I started building DUST Charts, so I definitely had a lot to learn along the way.
BGoat The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 144	Posted - 2013.10.07 07:47:00 - [9] - Quote Thanks for all of the positive feedback everyone, it is good to finally put this in the hands of the community and see it being used. Some good feedback I've received is that the clone sale events are a little spammy and drown out the rest of the events in the activity feed. Adding the ability to filter out certain events or event categories is high on my list, but not quite ready yet. While that functionality is still in development, I'm considering removing the Clone Sale events from the feed temporarily. If anyone disagrees and thinks those events should stay in the feed, let me know!
BGoat The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 158	Posted - 2013.10.07 16:23:00 - [10] - Quote Funkmaster Whale wrote: This deserves a sticky, possibly in the War Room if anything. I agree, this needs a sticky... somewhere Right now, the War Room makes a lot of sense, but I wouldn't want to pigeon-hole the site into something only players and corporations participating in Planetary Conquest will use. Very soon there will be more features for the average merc as well. Another option is to have a sticky in the Rookie Training Ground, to go along with other tools like the DUST Fitting Tool and Skill Planner offerings. It may be helpful for rookies to get exposed to events that are happening in PC and how it works. Another post in this thread indicated that the site was very helpful in that regard. And then, of course, there is General Discussion, which gets the most views and would hopefully introduce the site to more people. Having this thread stickied in GD to start and then moved to Rookie Training Ground or War Room at a later date may be the best option, but it is ultimately up to the CCP devs and community reps.

BGoat The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 158	Posted - 2013.10.07 19:24:00 - [11] - Quote FYI -- I have disabled the Clone Sales events in the global feed for now to reduce the clutter. They will gradually work their way out of the feed as new events come in. Note: I have left those events in the Corporation and Alliance feeds for now, as they may be more pertinent within those contexts.

This is why the New Eden community is the best gaming community, and why we should keep adding API's for you guys. Thanks Nullarbor! Yes, definitely keep adding APIs and exposing new endpoints

I'll be the first to admit there is no poetry in it, but it does have a certain Caldariesque ring to it, imho. Hmm... that's not bad. I might change it to something along those lines.

I know i can see it in other ways but it could be better i think. Already on the agenda to add the list of corporations (active in Planetary Conquest) in the Alliance. Thanks for the suggestion all the same!
BGoat DUST University Ivy League 188	Posted - 2013.10.09 00:01:00 - [16] - Quote Captain Crutches wrote: This is just awesome. Love the player count on the side, one of the only places we can see the Dust-alone number rather than the TQ total (although long-term I'd love to see the games merge so closely that the individual portions are unimportant, but at this stage in Dust's development it's important to know what the specific numbers look like). My only suggestion would be to stick the Eve time somewhere, maybe above/next to the player count, for easy accessibility. Great suggestion! I need to finish up a few quick things first, but I'll add that very soon.

I hope so too! Not very many new players are going to find the site with this thread down on page 5 though This thread really needs glue....
BGoat DUST University Ivy League 210	Posted - 2013.10.10 09:14:00 - [18] - Quote FYI -- You will notice there is now a Blog section in the left-hand navigation bar. I took some time yesterday and today to get that up and running and out of the way so I can communicate updates, changes, etc directly through the site. Now I should be able to return to cranking out some more features

I will be iterating on the site daily (as long as my time outside of work/family permits) and will post on the Blog when I've added features, fixed bugs, etc. The addition of the Blog in itself was an iteration You can also follow @DUSTCharts on Twitter, which will have tweets about changes to the site and other things. Stay tuned!

If you see them in the channel, it doesn't necessarily mean that they use the site, but I've seen quite a bit of traffic from Iceland, so someone up there is looking at it

This def deserves a sticky, but I think it best fits in the war room yea? DUST Charts is mainly Planetary Conquest data right now, because that is what the publicly available endpoint dictates, but the site has value for all players, not just those actively participating in Planetary Conquest. If nothing else, it serves to inform new players and those who are not in corporations that are active in PC and to help them understand why it's important and how it works. As soon as possible, the site will offer functionality more applicable to the average mercenary, so putting this thread in the War Room would be doing it a disservice. Having the thread sticked in General Discussion will help introduce it to the player base at large and eventually, if it were to be stickied somewhere else, it may best fit in the Rookie Training Grounds with things like the Fitting tool and Skill planner.
