How the hell they even found transits on those example screenshots? šŸ˜£ Iā€™ve played with new Discovery on Singalaryty and failed that specific sample myself (even if you zoom it more it doesnā€™t make things easier). I wonder how many exoplanets _we will not find_ by simply pressing ā€œNo transitsā€? ---

Question: we already have ā€œlevelsā€ in Project Discovery, from the protein atlas phase. Will we start at level 1 again? If weā€™re at level 200 will we stay at level 200? Will you make each phase of Project Discovery a separate level-up phase? If yes, can you award character medals / accolades for each phase? ---

I love the idea of this, but to be honest one of the things that put me off the whole Project Discovery thing (when it was about cell structure) was that there were so many examples where the example was so nuanced that you could have marked it as several different variants. Getting continually busted downwards for trying hard and being off the correct choice by micro degrees of accuracy was so disheartening that in the end, I just gave up and never went back. Iā€™d love to be involved, but if the QA is as tough to master as the last incarnation, Iā€™d be put off quite a lot. šŸ˜” ---

Why not keeping the protein pattern analysis? Although it may have already served its purpose, it is still an interesting mini game for newer players. It is the first real citizen science inside a computer game. You guys have put a lot of efforts in building it. Itā€™s a pity that the first project discovery will be removed. May be it can be moved to under the same Concord reward structure for exoplanets? I feel keeping it can enrich the gaming elements of Eve universe. ---

So basically you can no longer farm PD for stuff. If you want multiple rewards you have to use multiple characters. What will happen with the drugs SOE was giving for AK before? ---

Is there some blog or something what the actual result of the first project was? Was it successful, useful data at all or what waa the result? I imagine there was quite some time invested by the community. ---

Still have to try the new tutorial. Prefer old game because it was straightforward yes or no on what was present and not trying to line up lots of little lines with a track pad. Rewards arent enticing at all, super ugly skins, super ugly clothes. Guess Iā€™m just gonna do this one to grind out one of those billion isk cruisers to sell for Plex and to actually participate in the he science rather than for anything cool I will actually keep and use personally. ---

Well it doesnā€™t seem that hard. The first one wasnā€™t hard. I found my biggest issue with actually going through slides quickly was not being in a station interior cause it seems to slow down how fast the slides used to load. I did it for 10 minute s and got to level 6 or 7 I think in singularity and I jumped up to 64ā„… accuracy. Accuracy seems to climb much faster than the old one and pretty sure you get ranked up even more now. It would be a fun grind challange. Gotta figure someway to Plex my account since nothings being done to actually get Plex down below 1b. If I can spit out a few concord cruisers it might help me get a head start on next month.
