I love the whole concept.
for my part I would like to see a much closer zoom
more examples of each individual 'type' , a range of examples that show what it looks like in a minimal to maximal state.
a 3d model of a cell that could be manipulated like you would when looking at a ship and overlay what the various 'types' would look like, selectable so that you could overlay multiple layers.
basically more info, I really don't care about the game mechanics, I want to be correct, this is real life after all

you should concentrate on balancing more ships and re-doing more important aspects of the game instead of adding stuff like this...

1) The window size is limited on higher-resolution monitors (for example, 2560x1440).

2) It would be useful to have blue-only and red-only filter options, especially since the description for "Nucleoli" says "...overlapping with holes in the blue marker", but we can't easily see where holes in the blue marker are because the much brighter green is covering up those holes. "Aggresome" is another such case: "It overlaps with a hole in the microtubules (red marker)."

3) Allow players to review their past submissions and the consensus on each submission.

4) For cases where a player thinks that a consensus seems to be clearly wrong (such as the example brought up by "Yadaryon Vondawn" in Post #10 of the present thread - https://gyazo.com/a801d14a5400b4a5edb99e3d517d8b8d ), allow a player to file a dispute for that submission, which gets the submission flagged for expert review. If the expert accepts the dispute, then those players who contributed to the bad consensus are penalized (maybe a skillpoint penalty, maybe being barred from Project Discovery). If a player has 3 disputes rejected by an expert, then that player is barred from filing any more disputes (either permanently or at least 6 months).

5) Allow players to mark features as "Yes, definitely present", "No, definitely absent", or "Unknown".

6) Allow players to skip a sample.

I tried this thing and after a difficult tutorial, I got 50k ISK per picture and each picture is taking a wile to figure out if you want to do it right.

I'm sorry but it's just too few ISK for this effort. AFK mining, or AFK ratting or incursions, or probing or... is making so much more isk for much less efforts. The ISK reward should be multiplied by 10 minimum to start considering it as an ISK source.

I'm sorry it's too bad for science but I will just leave it behind. I am a scientist myself and it's really a shame the the reward is poorly balanced (Yes I took the LP thing in consideration).

TL:DR : Efforts and very bad reward = I won't do it anymore.

Please do something for science, biomass yourself.

Please someone read this, don't let my time be wasted :D
Things that are more important imo first:

- Fix BUGS:
-- Often solutions don't get submitted, it just loads another sample then (very frustrating)
-- After submission it shows the selected options with percentages etc, it often pertains to the submission I made before that one
-- Often a sample loads a long time or just doesn't at all
-- Improve verification system, more than half of my submissions i ever made are still "pending"

- Things to ADD:
-- Add the option to make the window fullscreen
-- Add "advanced" tutorials with samples that are more difficult (irregularities, combinations, samples where one has to decide between several very plausible solutions, detailed explanation after etc.)
-- Option to skip a sample

- Things to IMPROVE:
-- Better descriptions for the selectable options (not just explaining the regularities)
-- More example pictures for the selectable options (not just showing the regularities)
-- The quality/resolution of samples

- IDEAS:
-- Remove "bad" samples from the system quickly (negatives and samples where people choose all kinds of options, so no solution is found)
-- Rewards should grow exponentially with more accuracy (low reward at like <80%, the real money comes with very good accuracy like 90% and above for example). This should also help with the bots or people not really caring and spoiling it for the others by always half heartedly submitting the same popular selections. In the end this game is more something you play while traveling or to kill time, so rewards are not that important imo.

I am not sure if this is posted elsewhere: give players the possibility to share the image with corp mates. My corpmate had some images that made no sense at all to him and the only way for us to help him was to take a screenshot and upload it.

Was really awesome to be in teamspeak and talk with others about the picture, we actually felt like space scientists :-)
So please CCP make it happen.
