My alt has achieved 99.0% accuracy rating. Of course I've been anticipating that little 0.1% tick up that will give me a nice, clean 100xp and 100k payout... but it hasn't come. Looking at my analysis history, I see it stuck at five entries... over thirty minutes ago was the most recent one entered.

Hmm.

So it seems you can't get better than 99.0%-- anyone been able to?

The real question is... what happens to all that extra accuracy?

I guess it's just more waste heat. I feel like it should slowly train one's Thermodynamics.

Hey, nobody's perfect Blink

Just because it doesn't go past 99% doesn't mean you've finished! There are still lots of ranks, and don't forget the IRL swag from the HPA for the top players!

True. However, in a game in which FTL travel and communication is trivial, I feel we should be able to milk that last 0.999999%-- approaching, but never reaching perfection.

I'm only at 63.2%, I guess I suck. But in any case I notice that at 63.2% it rewards me 64 and 64,000, so are you sure you're not getting 100 and 100k? It seems to round up the rewards.

It only rounds up once you have (even a tiny bit) of accuracy above the previous threshold. So yes, I fully expected the 100/100k payout, but sadly it never arrived.

There seems to be no cache of accuracy stashed away invisibly either. It is still easy to lose accuracy from 99.0%-- I still lose tiny bits of accuracy now and then, and this is when the pending analysis queue gets resolved (I think) and I gain tiny bits back, untill 99.0% is reached again.

How much research kredits do you get at 99%? I addmit I didnt feel like doing Project because how laggy it was but today I did around 100 pictures and looks like its working really well now. Bear Though hopefully kredit payout rises with accuracy as I noticed it did and hopefully by a lot. Otherwise its a long "grind" for me to get labcoat. Lol

Your accuracy percentage only affects your isk and xp payout per sample (99,000 and 99xp at a 99.0% rating).

AK payouts scale per level-- I can't tell if there is an incremental increasing return or not-- early on I thought there was, but I didn't examine it closely-- but I seem to recall around level 60 I was making 5-6k AK per level.

Market value of AK loot seems very questionable at this point, if you aren't simply interested in obtaining the limited set of items from the SOE for your own use.

Same here. Once i reached 99.0% accuracy rating, my submissions, even if confirmed to be correct, had no positive effect on my rating. Shows as "No change" in the submission history.

So it really seems like 99% is the maximum one can reach.

In the world of EVE, with its min/max mentality, how can you expect us to be satisfied with 99%? We are perfectionists, we want that 100%! Prof. Lundberg, how can you do this to us?

Apparently there aren't any ranks beyond Master Analyst either. So while I'm definitely not done with the project, I believe I am done advancing in rank and accuracy.

Oops, actually that's not true! I still need to max this character out.

Eh, I was afraid of that too. I assume level increases and AK payouts continue though, yes?

Yes, actual level and AK payouts are continuing to increase.

I kind of gave up when my number of pending determinations was >100 and accuracy stopped moving. I don't know if that pending number will go down while I am logged out, but I'm not about to continue until my determinations are scored one way or the other.

You seem to be rather dedicated to the Project, so I wonder if this has occurred to you as well:

Isn't there an inbuilt disinclination, being that there can be no further accuracy gained beyond 99.0%, to continue in our heretofore diligent analyses? What I mean is, we have an entire nine-tenths of a percent of "accuracy capital" to spend, wherein we might just decide to go really fast to maximize ISK and AK payouts, not caring if it diminishes our accuracy rating, so long as we return to more careful examination before we drop below 98.1%.

It seems to me that this might introduce a lot of critical inaccuracies where they can be least afforded-- we are the analysts who are given the most new samples after all.

Judges?
