COPIED FROM Outer-Empires.com - See the news post for full information.

Since the game released pilots have been doing transport, exploration and combat jobs to earn credits for colonisation, ship building, manufacturing amongst a number of other things.

In fact, in total, 271 Million credits have been earnt over the last thirteen weeks. With a current in game circulation of just over 60 million, the rest - of course, spent on taxes, paying the gvmt for ships/goods and also a large amount of credits earned so far have been paid to the workers of the galaxy (the most paid by any empire leader is 70000 credits a day (for 14000 workers)).

Of course, with the small 5 credit/day pay it take a worker a long time to match the personal fortune of Sammy del Fierro, the richest person in the Nyridion Galaxy* with a whopping personal fortune of ~4.4 million credits... a member of the Iron Union faction, who are currently the richest faction*.


Over the thirteen weeks a large amount of credits have been traded back and forth on the galactic market, as you can see in the graph to the right - the economy has been continuing to grow, more so over the last few weeks... the graph shows the growth over time by week (with twenty million credits traded over the last week) - the larger recent growth can be attributed to the new pilots in the galaxy... post App release.

[SEE WEBSITE NEWS POST FOR "Market Expenditure By Week" GRAPH]

You will notice a new area on the website menu entitled "Economy" which has a number of different statistics for the sales of different product groups (resources, flatpacks, blueprints and ship hulls/modifications) and also a list of the top sales in each group (and also a weekly sales list too).

Visit the new economy area and please do leave comments in the official forums about this news item. You will notice, of course, that there are only three days worth of detailed information about market transactions - as we only started recording the data three days ago - it will continue to automatically update over time, if anyone is interested in accessing the news feed for the market data click here to view the webservice access (additionally, if you want a different type of statistic on there, please let me know!)

I love statistics!

And I like how the PDN automatically gets first place even though it sold once. Good job on the power gens, though, Weaver. I am still buying them from you.

Soul your love of statistics makes me think you would get along great with John Hodgman:

Weaver Power Gens make me a happy man.

Back on topic, the results are quite interesting. Good job Paul.
