EVE Online activity map

EO-Map paints recent system activity across all 5,485 solar systems of New Eden onto a free browser map of EVE Online. Four metrics, seven time windows, and counts taken from the game's own completed hourly figures rather than from a sample or a guess. No account, no download, nothing to install.

What the activity map shows

Activity is a soft overlay on the 3D star field. Every system carrying a count for the metric and window you picked gets a corona around its star, and the corona grows with the count, so the busy places read as bright rings while the quiet ones stay dark. It is one picture of traffic and violence over the whole cluster rather than a table to sort.

• Four metrics: jumps, ship kills, pod kills and NPC kills, per system.
• Seven windows: 1h, 3h, 24h, 3d, 7d, 30d and 90d.
• A sensitivity slider that moves the overlay between hotspots only and full detail.
• Hover a star for the count in the selected metric and window.
• Select a system for its raw counts across all seven windows at once.
• A freshness line saying how old the numbers are, and whether a long window is still filling.

The four metrics

How the time windows work

Each window is a sum of whole completed hours, not a rolling wall clock. 24h means the last twenty-four completed hours, so the current partial hour is never included and the figures never wobble mid-hour. That is a deliberate trade: the numbers are slightly behind the game, and in exchange they are stable, comparable between systems, and exactly the counts the game itself publishes.

Short and long windows answer different questions. 1h and 3h tell you what is happening right now, which is what you want before you undock. 30d and 90d tell you what a region is normally like, which is what you want when choosing where to live or where to hunt. If a long window is not yet fully accumulated, the panel says how many hours it actually has rather than showing a short sum as though it were a full one.

Sensitivity, and why every system is not painted

Jumps are close to universal. In a typical hour, almost every system in New Eden records at least one, so painting all of them turns the map into fog. Sensitivity is the control for that. Slide it towards hotspots and only the loudest systems keep their coronas; slide it towards detail and the overlay reaches further down the distribution. The panel states the current threshold as Showing at least N, and systems tied at that value are all included, so the cut is never arbitrary between equals.

The overlay follows your accent colour, sits under selection and search rings so those stay readable, and clears when you close the panel. Minimizing the panel leaves the overlay drawn.

Where the data comes from

The counts come from the game's public hourly system statistics: jumps per system, and ship, pod and NPC kills per system. EO-Map collects them once on a schedule, adds them to its own history so the longer windows exist at all, and publishes a compact snapshot that your browser downloads. Your browser never calls the game's servers directly, and switching between metrics or windows costs no network traffic at all because the whole snapshot is already in memory.

The map underneath is built from the pinned official EVE Online Static Data Export, build 3464040: 5,485 New Eden solar systems, 13,978 directed stargate connections, 799 constellations and 70 regions, plus 2,604 Anoikis systems. Official hourly jump and NPC figures cover New Eden only. Wormhole-space ship and pod losses come from zKillboard; jumps and NPC kills there are unpublished, not zero.

How to open it

1. Open EO-Map and click Activity in the left rail, or use the direct link below.
2. Pick a metric: Jumps, Ships, Pods or NPC.
3. Pick a window, from 1h up to 90d.
4. Drag Sensitivity until the overlay shows as much as you want to read.
5. Hover a star for its count, or click one for the full set of numbers.

Part of EO-Map

The activity map is one panel of EO-Map's interactive 3D map of New Eden. The same session plans stargate routes, shows current alliance sovereignty, marks live incursions and faction warfare contest state, and flashes kills on the map as they are reported, so a busy system can be read together with who owns it and what is dying there.
