    Hello everyone!
    Some of you may remember me from my Item Popularity Snapshot that I posted forever ago. Well, I'm happy to announce that those snapshots will now be a thing of the past. Introducing BayStats!
    BayStats is your one-stop shop for item and ship popularity data. It shows all of the same data that could be found in one of my Snapshots, but in a much prettier format. And, more importantly, it updates daily!
    Here are some questions you can answer with just a few clicks:
    • Which red/blue/yellow/green item is being used the most by top players?
    • How popular is each ship?
    • On which of the five ship types is Item X most popular?
    • Which items are Ship Y's favorite?
    Best of all, since the database updates daily, you can track shifts in the meta during weekend events! There's an info bar at the top of the screen, so you always know exactly when the data was pulled.
    So head over to bb-stats.com and check out what the world's best players are using!
    Questions? Comments? Criticisms? Concerns? Issues with the website? I'll be glad to hear anything you've got to say.

    good job, awesome site
    I have one question, though
    HOW?
    is it updated automatically (if yes, how you did that?), or you are just so dedicated player, that you update in manually?

    It's a mixture of both. I have to manually initiate the process daily. But once I've initiated it, it's all automatic. I won't disclose the exact methodology.

    There are a few images that I forgot to compress (which I'm working on right now). Otherwise most of the images are actually quite small already.

    Pretty awesome that the data is updated automatically so we don't need to wait for monthly snapshots anymore. Could we get some cool graphs that show item popularity change over multiple weeks/months?

    The dataset is always 200 or more NL players. However, they are not strictly the top 200 players in the world; they are just 200 players distributed randomly throughout NL.

    This is next on my to-do list!

    Damn, I forgot about discord! Thank you for sharing.

    Quick question so do the percentages that go over 100%, does this mean that players are using more than one on their boat at once?

    That is correct! For this reason, items like Repair Pulse tend to have exorbitant use rates; most fixers use more than one Repair Pulse in their setups.

    Unfortunately, no. This is because my ability to collect data is limited by my game client’s ability to consistently access player profiles. It would take Rovio adding some sort of global player directory within the game before I could expand beyond NL.
