I’m happy to announce that we yesterday managed to get all submissions uploaded to the judge’s panel (with the exception of a few cases with loose ends), thus we are now in the process of picking the winners. Confirmation mails should have been sent to all participants, so if you have not received a confirmation in one way or another we might not have received your submission, so please contact me. Bear in mind that if you have sent multiple submissions within a short timespan I may have only replied to one of them.

Now that I have been through all submissions, I have been able to do some statistics I want to share with you to give you a grasp on the scale of this project. Enjoy!

First of all, the total amount of submissions is 120 fights. It has really blown my mind. When we extended the deadline I would be really happy if we just reached 60, but within the last week it just escalated and we got twice as many. So thank you for participating and giving us a great pool of fights to work with. The 120 submissions are from 84 unique players giving us an average of 1.43 submissions per player. Out of the submissions 6 of them were eligible for Za’afiel’s Gallente Militia side contest. If your submission is qualified for this contest, but haven’t notified us yet, you can send us a mail and your fight would still be considered for it.

Out of the 120 fights we received 101 of them were eligible for judging. The fights that were not eligible for judging were excluded for one of 2 reasons. The first group was fights that in one way or another didn’t qualify accordingly to our rules. This being mostly frig fights. The participants involved have been informed. To lessen our workload we decided that players who submitted several fights (4+) would get their 3 best picked and uploaded. This was simply because there were players who submitted up to 9 fights and since we in the end are only going to consider 1 fight per person it was a nice way to save time without being unfair. I hope that the involved people understand this and I can assure you that we picked your best fights so your chances in the contest haven’t been lowered.

It would take 12 hours and 41 minutes to watch all 101 submissions.

Ship classes

If we break it down the 101 submissions by ship classes we will get the following distribution:

Cruisers in total: 63 T1: 40 T2: 11 T3: 1 Faction: 11

Battlecruisers in total: 20 T1: 15 T2: 3 Faction: 2

Battleships in total: 15 T1: 8 T2: 6 Faction: 1

Capital ships: 1

Frigates: 2

As expected, there is a high amount of cruisers. However I am still happy with the amount of battlecruisers and battleships, even though I had hoped for a few more nano faction battleships. The 2 frig fights are exceptional frig fights we allowed to participate. And then there is the single joker: The capital ship.

Ship types

If we take a look at the ship types that has been most common (more than 3 uses) we get the following:

Vexor: 8

Exequror: 5

Stabber: 5

Thorax: 5

Moa: 5

Myrmidon: 4

Deimos: 4

Vargur: 4

Vexor being the most used ship is not really a surprise for me. It is a great all around t1 cruiser for solo pvp. However I didn’t expect the exequror be so high. Clearly some people have been inspired. The fact that only 8 ships are used more than 3 times shows us that there is a pretty good distribution among ship types, which creates a lot more diversity. If this project was done before the tiericide we might have ended up with a more uniform distribution of ships.

Overall I am pretty happy with the submissions and I can’t wait to show you guys how great they are.
