The kills of 2014: overview and definitions

You probably heard of killboard inflation, the fact that every Tom, Dick and Harriette are "killboard green". This is because everyone who get on a kill gets its full value on the killboard, instead of a portion of it. You can see pretty charts on the 2013 data, I didn't do them again as they look the same. In this 2014 analysis 384T ISK losses were processed. However the pilots got 8264T kills on the killboard, which is pretty much nonsense, but makes people happy and return to the killboard, clicking ads.

Zkillboard uses CCP kill IDs, the difference between the first and last ID of 2014 is 7905987. The downloadable database contains all Zkillboard kills, 5712265 plus 81196 discarded, that's 73% of the range, so Zkillboard holds vast majority of the kills. 75T damage was in highsec, 111 in lowsec, 155 in nullsec and 43 in WH space.

There was a large error in the valuation of some items, mostly compressed ore and PI materials in MTUs abused by wheniaminspace, resulting in extremely wrong kill reports, with 12T total value. So I discarded all the MTUs, not just because of the abuse, but because its loss is not the loss of the loser. I mean if he lost his ship and his MTU grabs his dropped fittings, he doesn't lose them again when the killer shoots the MTU, but the killer loses the destroyed items. Here are the most expensive (and most wrong) kills that were discarded: 73B MTU, 12B Iteron Mark V, 18B Bestower, 38B Fenrir, 17B Bestower, 44B Bestower, 64B Tayra, 12B MTU, 304B Bestower, 37B Badger, 76B Iteron Mark V, 26B Bestower, 166B Miasmos Quafe Ultra Edition, 52B Bestower, 82B Iteron Mark V, 15B Mammoth, 754B Iteron Mark V, 87B Iteron Mark V, 57B Bestower, 34B MTU, 20B MTU, 35B MTU, 1389B Miasmos, 33B MTU, 19B Mammoth, 37B MTU, 34B MTU, 25B MTU, 22B MTU, 12B MTU, 13B MTU, 16B MTU, 22B MTU, 19B MTU, 33B MTU, 33B MTU, 33B MTU, 14B MTU, 26B MTU, 12B MTU, 16B MTU, 18B MTU, 22B MTU, 343B Miasmos, 14B MTU, 24B MTU, 26B MTU, 14B MTU, 33B Fenrir, 40B Venture, 436B Miasmos, 1160B Miasmos, 454B Miasmos, 57B Charon, 413B Mammoth, 190B Miasmos, 12B Mammoth, 174B Miasmos, 297B Miasmos, 144B Charon, 261B Bestower, 51B Iteron Mark V, 39B Orca, 11B Viator, 37B Prorator, 13B Tayra, 50B Iteron Mark V, 60B Retriever, 402B Providence, 242B Miasmos, 69B Miasmos, 14B Rorqual, 69B Bestower, 19B Tayra, 341B Miasmos, 41B Crane.

For the later alliance analysis, I created 6 ship value groups with each containing 1/6 of the damage. You can see that most kills happened in the smallest size group since most players fly cheap ships. However there was a certain increase of ship sizes since 2013:
Let's see the timeline! As you can see, the average kills increased in the second half of the year, so the news of the death of EVE are probably premature. Also, there were 349T kills in 2013 and 384 in 2014, a clear increase of activity. The whiners over concurrent logins forget that an AFK cloaker or bot-miner contributes much more to that chart than a player with reasonable schedule. The daily chart didn't change much since 2013, EVE is still mostly played in the EUTZ:
The killer sizes are also similar, eat this, "solo is dead" whiners:
Finally, the top corporations of New Eden in 2014. Seeing some NC. and PL corps at the same level as Brave Newbies Inc. is priceless:
