January ratting data: Fade to black

Like in December, I processed the downloaded Dotlan data for January 2016. Let's see the ratting charts first: As you can see nullsec ratting kept the end-of-2015 level, while both highsec and lowsec dropped badly. It seems that the Document of Shame status quo is this: if you want to rat in peace, go to nullsec, just not to Fade. Fade was absolutely devastated, most probably by TISHU, as MoA avoids it since TISHU set up shop without giving blue status. After all they know who wins if they fight TISHU: SMA. So while they are mediocre in damage, TISHU is clearly good in AFK cloaking and blue-alt tackling. Look how badly Fade dropped:


We can see the same on the alliance toplist too. But there is something more interesting: Soviet-Union has beaten FCON on the ratting chart. I didn't know it's even possible to do that. And look at their constant growth! Now only Team Security stands between them and Goons:


Speaking of Goons, despite they increased their ratting, it couldn't cover the losses of SMA and Razor, therefore the Emporium ratting fell below 30%. Only 4 times in the last 18 months were they below 30%. Good job everyone who were out killing or sabotaging them. Only the dead Emporium member is a good Emporium member! Keep fighting, Guristas lives matter!
