Project Discovery Analysis Issues

I'm getting pretty frustrated with how these mechanics work. There's too many areas where random static that doesnt have a discernible pattern or actually doesn't match at all is listed as correct, or areas where identifying a planet is still an analysis failure because it doesnt match up perfectly with what the system has decided is right.

I'd be fine with this if there was some explanation for why some answers are wrong, or how the hell they're identifying planets in some of these areas that dont match up with the in game explanation for exoplanet identification.

Here's one result I've gotten that's pretty mild.

I'll see your screwed up analysis and raise you this...

They really need to take a closer look at what they're using to analyze players. This doesnt even make sense.

Algorithm is off for recognizing data points.

I believe we need data tables to be able to better understand changes because we cannot always recognize something by how it looks visually and the vague approximations we get with the graph. Seeing the specific number on the data point would be highly beneficial.

The reason it's marked wrong is almost certainly due to it being a two-planet system. I'm not sure how we're supposed to make such a distinction, though. You can't even tell by looking at the depth of every other trough in that picture. Funny story, I found one where every even dip was much shallower than every odd dip, so I marked it as a two-body transit only to find out I was wrong.

Two system or not, they want transits. Also, look at the data points. almost identical and in the tutorial it clearly states that similar data is probably the same planetary orbit which was my reasoning behind it being 1. When folded, it folds perfectly into each other because their data points are almost identical

You'll get no defensive argument from me. Wouldn't being perfectly lined up like that mean that bodies are in synchronous opposing orbits around the star? What are the odds on that?!

Looks as indecipherable as many of the ones I got wrong yesterday. =-\ I really don't know what's wrong with the system, but honestly we should all know better than to think something's going to be perfect (playable?) on launch-day. And that's no dig against CCP; the whole industry launches stuff prematurely just to get it out the door, patch it up later.

I had this evaluation sample, what you marked is a sudden jump in brightness, that, after de-something-cation looks like a "Z" instead of a "V".

I bought into the hype... unfortunately this is not analysis.

EDIT: A more constructive comment would be that I also have noticed significant discrepancies in the analysis and that without an understanding of modeling for each solar activity classification and its respective 'dip rates', it will be very difficult to visually assess significance.

Same thing again here. The analysis is wrong a lot of the time. Not us.

So are we going to get a blue post about this broke ass system? :P
