Flying Solo In EVE: Gallente Elections Week 2

EVE Online is about halfway through holding elections for the Gallente Federation. With the end of the month upon us I can look at some of the weekly metrics before the quarterly statistics become available.

EVE-Offline ACU

The first, as is usually the case, is the weekly average concurrent user count. During much of the week the ACU line on EVE-Offline.net hovered at the 25,000 account mark. I'm not exactly sure what happened on 28 March except the possibility of Europe switching to Summer Time impacted the labeling. I'm interested to see what Jester's monthly concurrent user charts look like when the come out tomorrow.

Global PLEX Market Thru March 30

The average price of PLEX on the global PLEX market increased 1.5% last week up to 4,371,000 ISK. PLEX sold and the amount of ISK spent on PLEX fell 14.6% and 14.2% respectively. The current event does offer each character 75 PLEX on the rewards tree, but that amount couldn't make up for the lack of PLEX sales last week. CCP's sale involved a 15% savings on Omega time and a random selection of carrier SKINs depending on the amount spent. 

Selected weekly stats for 2026

For the current week of the Gallente Election event I discovered I need to lower my goals. I completed the first batch of security missions to get a Presidential Candidate Favor. But I can't just repeat security missions and repeat the cycle of tier rewards. Now I only get 40 event points for every 3 missions completed.

I should add one interesting point about the security missions. The mission system is very old and pre-dates the time when agents were designated security, distribution, and mining. The "security" missions that are actually distribution missions don't count towards security mission completion counts.

Tomorrow I move to the next phase of my alt-character development project. The character I've worked on in Q1 will finish training tomorrow and I begin building up my second alt-character. The second character is an alt on the account I'm using to run security missions for the election event. Political favors generated are sent to the account redemption queue. I'll get to see if favors generated on one character are eligible to be collected by another.
