Hi,
I havent bought the Source book yet. So I thought maybe I open this thread to collect future feedback on this topic. What have you like, and dont like? As for me: I would love to had a grip on one of those limited edition ones, sadly I had come to late
But nevermind.
I already have a question: I dont understand is this chart:
http://www.darkhorse.com/Books/Previews/24-072?page=10Estimated total population: 21,449,105,690,000 (29%)
Amarr: 74% 15,872,338,210,000 (74%)
Caldari: 3,860,839,024,000 (14%)
Gallente: 1,501,437,398,000 (7%)
Enslave Minmatar: 10,712,558,277,000 (14%)
Free Minmatar: 214,491,056,000 (1%)
Percentage of people actively practicing religion: 98%
Average numbers of slaves per household: 6.7
As I see it: Is the percentage towards the total population? Because the number of Free Minmatar would fit: 21,449 billion (100%) 214 billion (1%). But the percentages are a little bit of.. as the make together just 96% (74+14+7+1).
15,872,338,210,000
3,860,839,024,000
1,501,437,398,000
214,491,056,000
_____________
21,449,105,688,000
Which is almost the total free population, as 21,449,105,688,000 is close to 21,449,105,690,000. I think what happened was some rounding errors. So with the given total free population: 21,449,105,690,000
Amarr = 15,872,338,210,000 = 74%
Caldari = 3,860,839,024,000 = 18%
Gallente = 1,501,437,398,000 = 7%
Minmatar = 214,491,056,000 = 1%
So I think, it was a typo and the Caldari would/should be 18% and not 14%. As for the percentage numbers behind enslave minmatar (14%) and total population (29%) I have no plan.
What I could think of that both -- 14% and 29% -- are in percentage towards another number:
14/29 = 0,4827586206896552
10,712,558,277,000/21,449,105,690,000 = 0,4994407893656101
100% would be:
~76,518,273,407,000.14286
~73,962,433,413,000.7931
I could think that CCP maybe thought that would be the population of the known cluster? So around 73,000-76,000 billion? So that 29% of the cluster are amarr citizens/free, and 14% of the cluster are by the empire enslave minmatars?
But maybe I have overlooked something? Any help is welcome, as well as any feedback about the book; as I havent bought it yet (will do it later, maybe just a digital version, will see, Iam not sure.).
Edit: I think the 74% after Amarr was a typo, but if someone has a idea it would be great.
