...forgot to add that often the answer I give for a particular sample is not the answer is shows once submited, It's the answer I gave for the previous sample, so It flags as incorrect and you get negative accuracy rating. I have double checked this a few times now and have taken pics with my phone as I thought I was going cuckoo... fortunately early dementia hasn't effected my brain and It's definitely giving me the answers from the previous sample.

cheers

Actually, I *think* this happens when the Discovery server is so busy that it doesn't have time to receive your submitted answers. So you go on to the next question and you submit that one too, and only then does it catch up with "hey these answers were wrong" and "now we'll reset your window."

I submitted a bug report.

CCP may have to implement a cache server, if they don't have one, for both downloading samples and for uploading answers. Because the TQ load is a bell with the peak at euro prime time, and I'm guessing it would be nice if they could flatten the load on the Discovery server by prefetching samples at night and uploading the excess answers also at night.

It's not actually 'accuracy', but more like standing so it will build over time if you get things right.
The rewards are certain items available from the Sisters of EVE LP store for Isk and the Analysis Kredits you get.

Running into several in a row where there is some issue with sending the sample. It was working just fine while I wait for a skill then... new sample retry, sorry about losing your last submission.

Is Project Discovery overloading something somewhere along the internet connections yet again?

A professional tech company suggested me that EVE Online had too many windowed functions in it's interface.
For one thing, when they saw my shared screen, they could deduce how long it took me to close them one by one.
Of course , there was the option to close all opened function windows at once, but I didn't use that.
Using the [x] command was more simple.

Either way, yes, a simple interface is not only more appealing and more functional but it can also make or break a system.

It works, but sometimes seems to take a long time to load samples.

At the moment for me this isn't worth doing. I got to rank 37 but after today's update, 2/3 of the samples freeze or don't load properly, and the ones that do often fail after I've identified the structures present and hit submit. Currently it's basically unplayable. Is there a support thread for project discovery somewhere?

@ISD I have also been experiencing the issue that other guy noted that you notified CCP about. Probably not related but worth mentioning.

Also, CCP decision-makers, please allow the resources necessary to support Project Discovery to be available. You've got something that your players like and use, and you've talked them into making it part of their EVE experience.

I think we are seeing a minor step in the right direction of player-interface. Now when something can't be retrieved from the database, Professor Lundberg times the process out with a 'Task retrieval failed', instead of the interface staying blank forever.

Despite the technical flaws of Project Discovery, are there any plans for future rewards?

At first it was like I'll never get the 75.000 AKs for a suit together, but now with a 99% recognition rate and about 20.000 AKs per hour (at 5:00 EVE) there isn't a goal to reach anymore.

Despite the soon incoming protests of some bittervets, I'd like to suggest a second pair of SoE Combat Suits.
With 5 different textures for each fraction (A, C, G, M and SoE as fifth) for a million AKs each maybe.
The designs don't have to differ much from the current ones, but I'd like to have a little redesign of the female chestplate. I don't have one single large breast in the middle of my chest.

Beside the point that it keeps a level of motivation for some of us to continue with Project Discovery, I'd like to have a really rare combat suit as reward.
