The Upwell Consortium has completed the design phase of the Astrahus Citadel and is ready to construct prototypes. To accelerate their plans, Upwell is seeking capsuleer assistance in securing research components.
From January 26th to February 9th, you can collect Research Components from Serpentis Exploration Sites and Ghost Sites and contract the components to Lee Brinalle.
What's in for you? Check out the dev blog by CCP Affinity The First Citadels: Help Upwell Consortium build the world of tomorrow

Well, nifty stuff! :D
Five Citadels by Upwell, and up to six potential draws?
What are the thresholds for the additional draws?
What's the story on being on the cornerstone for these? ;)
And may organizations such as, say, our little Drifter group make a contribution as a single entity?

Also, what are the proposed locations of the prototypes? Will we have any ability, say, to influence these things?

So does this mean that the top contributor will no longer be rewarded with a BPC and being named on the "cornerstone" of the first citadel as orignially stated? |

By "exploration sites", I assume you mean signatures, and not anomalies?

Vincent; these are dropping, one per can, in any Serpentis data or relic site, and in any Ghost site regardless of faction.

So do we need to contract each component individually for a chance, or if I have say 5 and contract all 5 in one, is that one entry or 5? |

I wonder if this was a response to complaints from smaller entities who felt they couldn't compete on the same footing as larger ones for the "cornerstone" recognition originally mentioned in Updates. If so, its too bad that that there wasn't a clever way provided for those entities to partner up and compete with pooled resources yet still get individual recognition somehow if their partnership ended up as a top contributor.
I'm disappointed that the in-game recognition element was removed from this race. As a player very invested in EVE Online, having a chance for my corp or alliance to make a mark on the game itself would be a lot more fun and interesting to go for than a lottery.

Is it going to be one draw, with a minimum prize of 1 BPC, and then bigger prizes for that draw depending on the amount of RCs contributed overall? The dev blog is confusing or else I need to train Advanced Reading Comprehension!

Upwell have yet to announce specifics on the thresholds, but more info will be available on the landing page as it is announced :)
Entries will be taken per capsuleer, so whoever sends the contract will be the person entered :)

Yep! It's a random draw :) Even 1 contribution could potentially win you a fortizar BPC! The quotes are not yet finalised by Upwell, they will launch a website very soon for you to keep an eye on it.

This means lots of people will be eligible for a chance to win BPCs, even if they are not the top contributor. There is nothing to say we won't also reward that special person :)

Talk about vagueposting!!! Doesn't inspire confidence about how much individual or group effort to invest in that objective.

Hmm.
Dominant strategy is to split one's RC pool into multiple parts to limit invalidated ticket exposure. Flip side, if there's an ego element, it might draw major parties to do the contribution in an inefficient way.
Hmmm.

:) I think that in-game recognition in/on one of the citadels is a more longer-lasting and game-shaping reward than a silly BPC ;) |

Please rename the generic "Research Component" to something with more flavor in it, like "Upwell Research Component."
What will be unique about these BPC's, beside being the first ones released? BPC's are going to flood the market once the BPO is "published." Will this be a limited-time exclusive for the lucky capsuleers? For how long? At the very least, please set them to max research level.
If the special BPC's are allowed to circulate for a month before general availability, they would become temporarily quite valuable, and any built citadel would become a PvP magnet. |

Player names, including the top contributor and winners of the prize draw, will all feature on the description of the prototype citadels :) There is just also individual prizes for the draw.

Just to clarify, and I will follow this up with a blog edit:
* The top contributor and all prize winners names will feature in the descriptions of the prototype citadels they helped to create * Each research component counts as 1 entry; if you contract 5 at once, that is 5 entries * The prize draws will happen at the end, each contracted research component counts as one entry that will be placed in the final draw * As the additional prizes unlock, they will be added as additional prizes to the main draw * If you entered one contract at the beginning, but the fortizar prize is unlocked, you are in the running for that prize * The BPCs will be fully researched, whereas the ones available at release will not be

Shouldn't that recognition reward be mentioned in the dev blog? It is arguably more of an incentive than winning BPCs in a lottery for many players.
EDIT: Just saw your post above this one. Thanks!

I believe you clarified this on Twitter but I want to make sure and it's worth covering here in the official comments thread anyway:
Is it true that all in-game recognition (as well as prize draws) will go to individual pilots only and NOT corporations or alliances?
