And how do you decide what ranking each system is? Personally I would only give categorical ranks for each region because trade hubs are determined by agent access first and geographic convenience second, with few exceptions (or rather, they are determined by access to missioners first and access to traders second, systems like Jita and Amarr being exceptions). I see a few people have mentioned them which is helpful, exact systems/chains of systems would be best.Īre those your only criteria? You're missing a couple biggies I could give you. I don't know the notorious gank points/routes but they'd be useful to include on the map. If you think there's a system that should be included as being of interest then just le me know here or by mail. Major hubs are easy to see, secondary/regional hubs are shown with solid lines, and tertiary hubs/systems of interest are shown with dotted lines. I coloured the lines with my own preferences and to make it look interesting. It's spread out over roughly an A3 size to make it easier to manipulate and add more systems. I'm using Visio and the system 'graphics' are sized to fit the text. I couldn't find any really good up to date trade hub rankings so I mashed together the systems noted by Ombey as trade hubs, the data from, prior discussion on these forums, my own biases and preferences, plus Yulai just for historical interest. I've dropped it here to get some feedback, particularly on which systems to include and also to maybe think about including those gank points to avoid (or at least be aware of). As it isn't I've tried to piece together a trade map. If it was possible to cut and paste from Ombey maps to build a trade map that's what I would have done. I like the Ombey maps but they're very cluttered for trade purposes and don't have an 'overview' of how trade hubs are connected. PS: See also the Topology article on the UniWiki which has a similar focus.Īs the question of technique for deciding which systems to include was raised, here is the background. ![]() Dodixie/Rens are tied at about 2/3 the value of Amarr, and Hek brings up the tail at about 1/3 the value of Amarr. So, based on total ISK on the market, Jita is about 5x as large as Amarr. Now, the total sell inventory ISK value can be slightly inflated by those "1 tritanium for 2B ISK", but I have yet to find a site that gives me information about "total ISK that changed hands in the last 30 days". Well, from research in the past week, the following can be useful to find out total sell value in the hubs: We all know that they are considered hubs because they have the most trade volume in their region thus the term "regional trade hubs." If the goal is to list the minor trade hubs, how is a system designated 'minor'? A certain volume of trade? A certain number of jumps? Whatever it is, how is it possible that Lustrevik has more of it than Perimeter? Why is it that there is no Forge minor hub? If the map is of major and minor hubs, on what basis are systems being designated minor hubs? What exactly is the map showing? We all know what the major hubs are they've been listed on Ombey's maps for years and years. I've seen that information request a few times. Might seem noobish but an indication of which is the largest hub (of the 5 main ones included), going down to the smallest hub. I think the listed systems are compared to the hub in that region rather than by station against station in the universe. Does a system like Perimeter really do less business than non-Rens Heimatar systems? How are systems evaluated for inclusion? Heimatar has 4 systems, The Forge has one.
