Pretty graphs!

I know this seems silly but it might be useful too. Here's some ideas for player statistics to include other than just the "Active Players" graph, which really just shows when people are logged in.

- Relative player kills by time of day/week and nation.
This way, people can see when most PvP happens

- Relative NPC kills by time of day/week and nation.
Here you can see when people are botting or doing PvE missions like Border Skirmishes.

- Percentage of users by platform. Include overlap.
This way people will actually be able to see how big of an impact stuff like Android and Linux are towards the game's subscriber base!

Something showing those kill stats by system or region might also be cool. Regions would allow for simpler graphs and less positional precision, which could be desirable for those concerned with privacy. (Regions would be groups of around three systems, for example the three dynamic hive clusters, the Geira-Deneb-Eo stretch, etc.)

I want lists!

Top ten deadliest militants (based on pks in last 7 days in deneb)
Top ten deadliest anarchist (based on pks in last 7 days in unmonitored space.)
Top ten deadliest criminals (based on faction reducing pks in faction space in last 7 days)
Top faction defenders (based on faction kos pks in faction space in last 7 days, one per faction)
Top ten most wanted seen in last 7 days (based on total bounty value.)
Top ten bounty hunters in the last 7 days. (based on bounties collected in last 7 days)

+1 to DE's idea.
Would it be another section here, like Deneb stats?

Yes. Named something like "Threat Advisory", where you tell players what other players to watch out for and/or avoid. To make it fun, bots could also earn a place on some list. Like if Dentec collector XX-1234y kills 14 noobs, it counts as player kills, and it might actually get on the top ten list of killers.

We'll take a look when we can (swamped currently). I like the lists particularly. We do have a platforms graph, but it's out of date right now and doesn't yet include WinRT/Win8.
