This migration had more then just one purpose.
We also used it to meassure the total number of mobs in space and per space la at any one point.
We wanted to see at which point someone would notice/acknowledge that spawns were smaller as a method to determine which spawns in space get currently used at all.
I was expecting someone to mention it either in space travel, #space_travel or #space_council - it didnt happen.
We gathered alot of usefull data with this migration including the knowledge that if we had left ark tg unattended noone would have really noticed or went checking at all - in fact im quite convinced that the second week of the migration even though of bigger scale then the first week probably wasnt recognized as much just because we left ark tg unattended till the last day.
Thats how popular space is due to its non existant content.
I agree that Space needs a huge overhaul, better content and Spawns should be increased to much higher levels than what we have today.
That being said, your methods to measure the effect needs to be refined. If a question had been asked in either chat on if there were any issues finding mobs in TG, I think your feedback would have been quite different and you would have had a better measure of the effect you had. Measuring success/failure with actual responses (Data) is always better than using a lack of response (No Data) as your indicator.
I can tell you that I flew several shifts during that time and it was hard to find 6-7 mobs to put damage on the ship in my assigned hour. This is a huge change from today when I can get 30-40 in about half that time. We all thought MA had either screwed up the spawns or were just screwing us again so we put in support cases where they claimed not to have done anything.
I hope that observation will assist you for any future planning around this effort..
