Project Discovery: Phase Four Begins
Scientific capsuleers,
Exciting developments are on the horizon! Project Discovery is launching into its fourth phase today, introducing a critical dataset focused on immune system diseases, including cancer. Capsuleers have the unique opportunity to contribute to real-world scientific research from their ships, all while earning fantastic in-game rewards.
"Project Discovery's fourth phase marks a major milestone for citizen science by contributing to the search for a cure for one of the world's most deadly diseases," said CCP Burger. "The EVE community has a proven track record of helping scientists advance research for important causes. We are calling gamers from all walks of life to join our capsuleers in the fight against cancer."

What's New in Phase Four?
Announced at Fanfest 2023, the new dataset brings cancer research into the spotlight. With the now familiar minigame mechanics, capsuleers will analyze vital data to aid scientific breakthroughs. Additionally, the introduction of X/Y axis density curves allows for the analysis of more complex sample types and enhances the accuracy and value of each contribution.
Learn, Discover, and Get Rewarded
New rewards have been added to Project Discovery reward crates, in the form of three new and exclusive SKINR design elements: Insightful Azure Metallic, Citizen Cyan Metallic, and Scientific Panache Satin.
