Result from re-scanning 300+ moons in null

So I was scanning some moons for my alliance and was thinking why not share the general finding, I was curious if it was the same across all of eve.

I did approximately 300 moons in 6 systems of feythabolis. There was one moon that I knew of that started as all moon ores, and it appears that that was unchanged. R16 and r32 moons seem unchanged for the most part. Some moons aren't changed at all, some are slightly better and some are slightly worse, but in general pretty much where we started with how much r16 and r32 overall. Builder moons (those that started with good amounts of regular ores) seem to exclusively have changes to r4 moons. And last but not least r64s have actually been buffed. It seems that they have packed quite a bit of extra r32 r16 and r8s into moons that started with r64s.

TLDR r64 moons buffed, r32-r16 unchanged on average, r4-r8 nerfed.

What have you had from your experience in other areas of the game? I wonder if high and low sec are also similar, and wormholes as well.

Update: I have now scanned over 1000 with very similar results so the trend seems to be holding

The best part I can tell from redoing moon scans for my alliance is anything in the Gas (R4) / R8 category which had things changed don't add up to 100% anymore. Most of the Gas moons now only add up to 80.0%. Like what do I do with the other 20.0% which is unaccounted for in the moon?

My guess is for future balancing? Maybe that's the bandwidth for dynamic distribution.

Or not, who the fuck knows.

Why do you call them Gas moons?

Its a less common name, because R4 moons have things like Atmospheric Gasses and Evaporite deposits. So the earned the nickname 'gas moons'. (Eventhough its not 100% accurate.

POS era naming.

Old pos naming convention. Why dont they call moons R1, R2, R3, and R4?

Cause r4 meant 1 in 4 moons have this ore R8 was 1 in 8 moons had it R16 was 1 in 16 moons 1 in 32 moons. 1 in 64 moons.

I assume the unaccounted bit produces no ore. If all ores combine to 0.8 then your moon will output 80% of what it could output.

Not just R4 and R8 moons. I have an R64 not adding up to 100% anymore and I am very curious to see what happens with it.

This is intentional according to ccp dopamine. My guess is it is easier to code just less then 100% instead of changing the amount that every athanor mines independently.

My guess is the programmers for CCP are idiots. You could a db dump and normalize the values to equal 100% with a script. Then just update the db. Not that hard. I did it in 2-3 days for the moons we had and it worked like a charm.

The EVE community has been my absolute favorite and posts like this are a great example of why.

Thanks for the hard work and solid data collection, sir/ma'am.

Similar experience though only scanned 200 ish moons with 1 exceptional ore. The exceptional moon picked up an uncommon ore so increased in "moon ore" value. Everything else stayed pretty much as expected, no decent moons that i know of lost any uncommon ore.
