We are excited to give you an update about Project Discovery, the real life Human Protein Research project in EVE Online.

Project Discovery is waiting for you on the test server Singularity and we invite you to start testing this feature!

Please read more about this great initiative in CCP Scarpia's dev blog Project Discovery needs You! and provide plenty of feedback.

So we can become real life scientists in Eve now eh?

Not bad.

We're just getting it set up, and should not take more than an hour. I will reply again here when it is up.

You guys come up with some crap some times.

But this is genius!

Well done for getting such a project integrated with a game!

So over time will there be multiple research projects associated with this or will always be completely focused on one research goal at a time (if the research goal ever changes at all, of course)?

What are the rewards going to be like? is it a baseline of say 500 lp that increases with the rating?

This project is set for the Human Protein Atlas for now, but hopefully you can see the other possibilities in the future for other types of research.
They would still have to fit thematically within the EVE experience however.

Holy **** this is amazing. I'll definitely be contributing.

Do I need to talk to a specific agent to start this, or will we be able to access it from anywhere immediately after patch?

Currently, the amount of LP you gain is in direct correlation with your Accuracy Rating, with 500 SOE LP being the payout for a 100% score on a single sample.
So a 1% score will grant you 5 LP.

Please be aware however that these values and the overall rewards are not finalised and are subject to change before they appear on TQ. (Based on your feedback and our own observations during public testing of course)

So Project Discovery will stay focused on the HPA, and if other MMOS projects were to Be hooked up with EvE they would be different projects altogether?

CCP you guys are fricking brilliant.

This is a great way to create a win-win situation that rewards players for their work, and also generates additional revenue for the company.

Could potentially open the door for more tasks or "missions" that Eve players can help real life tech companies perform, with ISK rewards.
