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?

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?

Lee Brinalle's in-game character bio lists locations where the items may be contracted... no highsec options are in that list. But since the dev blog and answers here don't mention it, a special drop off location may no longer be required.
Players are probably making contracts in the "wrong" locations right now... CCP Affinity - a clarification here that location does matter, or an update to Lee Brinalle's bio saying that location does not matter would be very helpful, before this gets too far out of hand :) |

WTF is that? That could have been a nice conflict driver for Low sec and make it at least a little bit difficult to provide the assistance. I mean, it's not like holding a Citadel will be a walk in the park so why does CCP paddle back on something that already introduces players to that expectation? That is just disappointing.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Dear CCP Affinity,
Expecting patch on Jan,25th I had already contracted components to Lee Brinalle at a station in one of a lowsec systems mentioned in her bio today before DT. Should I cancel this contract and reissue a new one when you specify certain stations or will my contact be still accepted?

No, not exactly the same name. One lowercase L is replaced with an uppercase i . Considering the person didn't even try to use the same bloodline to copy the face properly, it should be easy to figure out who is the original.
Edit:
Thank you Sama Dobrota! Even though it might have been obvious, it could have had different methods of acquiring or be specific to certain areas or having other weird placements c: |

Expecting patch on Jan,25th I had already contracted components to Lee Brinalle at a station in one of a lowsec systems mentioned in her bio today before DT. Should I cancel this contract and reissue a new one when you specify certain stations or will my contact be still accepted?
Thanks
We have accepted earlier contracts :)

The reason why I asked is because I heard too much conflicting information about it, and we know that patch notes are not always accurate. It says: "must be retrieved from Serpentis Exploration Sites and Ghost Sites."
Some claim it to be ANY exploration site except sleeper. Some claim it only to be ghost sites. Some claim it is data sites only, not relic. The list goes on.
That is why I hoped to get an official statement to check if the devblog has information that might have been changed in the last minute. And of course, we know that bugs can happen so who knows how many of these reports are accurate and research components drop from things they should not drop from c:

You know those units on the market are only there because other players choose not to participate in the lottery and instead sell their items for ISK. The chance to enter the lottery IS about the effort to hunt and hack the sites. Some players are just choosing to sell their lottery tickets... |

You can contract as much as you like. Every single item will count.
At least they say it. If that will work is another question since CCP isn't a company where this kind of things usually just work |

Is there a kill report somewhere for that?
Or did Upwell simply decide to take them down because the inhabitants of a nearby planet complained the construction was blocking out the sun?
Either way it would be nice to have an official explanation from Upwell, or who ever, as to what happened.
On a side note, is the progress meter on the web site working correctly? |

So after logging about 350 jumps in Gallente space... I must say, our starmap needs a route feature. I would love to plot a route, and save that route, being able to load it at any time. Imagine if you could give routes to other players like bookmarks. This would be a huge benefit to everyone. I don't see why something like this isn't implemented yet.
Replotting all my waypoints on the map while using Dotlan map to get the most efficient jump count while covering as many gallente systems as possible is an absolute pain when you do it at least once a day. |

Why would they? from the Lore perspective, Upwell operate mostly in Serpentis space and the components were stolen from Upwell. Also, the components are present in ANY ghost site, not just Serpentis ones. Serpentis relic/data sites also spawn in W-Space, Low-sec and High-sec so it is not favouring nullsec dwellers...
Finally, there is nothing stopping you doing sites from another faction to earn ISK and then buy the components on the market. This is potentially the more efficient option given the disparity in exploration site loot value. |

Indeed. Take a look at Gallente High Sec at the moment, it's chock full with explorers searching for Serpentis relic/data sites...
I think CCP might have increased the Serpentis spawn rates. With explorer traffic this dense, it should be really difficult to find something. It isn't. I haven't tried, but it might even be viable to just camp in a Gallente system, and wait for new sites to pop up.

I wouldn't be so sure - there is some evidence that sites respawn somewhere immediately or fairly soon after completed. So a high turnover of sites with everyone finishing all the cans (rather than leaving some stale sites that will sit around for a couple of hours) there is a high site turnover, so a higher spawn rate.
Obviously I have no way to verify this other than anecdotal observations from myself and others.

Signal Cartel best cartel, but still... currently one can buy one's way to top submission with net profit, and your raffle overall would run at a considerable loss compared to just shopping. Are you expecting people will snipe this seconds before midnight on the 8th?
I think we will see another submission spike to Upwell next weekend. Exploration takes time, and active play. And I have to say, the prices are tempting. Chances are you will get diddley-squat from Upwell's raffle. I submitted my second batch to Upwell more in the spirit of role-play than reward calculation. I hope we complete at least level 4, so that I get some apparel back for hours of "work"... |

Our interest in RCs isn't for us to get the BPCs from the contest - it's our first foray into RP, a way to get our pilots engaging and having fun and a way to engage with the community. Plus, we think that PLEX is a more enticing reward for people ;) |

Going by the progress on the first two days the competition would have been over by last weekend, now it's slowed down even though RCs are a third of the price!

It would be nice to see a "top ten" of submissions, plus a running total. Though it may be too depressing to look at that, if I am honest. I expect submissions from whoever is the "middle man" of the big alliances to be in the thousands. If you see something like that, would you still fly around for hours exploring to get a few dozen (or for that matter, would you still invest ISK into buying)?
The fun bit is that by not telling us the numbers and also not what the rings represent in real RC numbers, CCP is completely free to run and end the competition any way they want. The assumption that every completed ring represents the same fixed number of RCs is natural, but not at all certain. Maybe CCP said "let's put the first ring at hundred thousand, and then adjust the next number up or down according to how fast it gets filled."
If they are fiddling with the numbers as they go, they may well try to create a "dramatic" ending: Basically, do your best estimate what will be the final number, add 5%, and then let that determine the ring number - people will feel the pressure of "completing the last ring". |

Well, it took a few hours for mine to be accepted last weekend. (I don't actually know how long precisely, they were still open when I stopped playing, and when I next logged in they were accepted.)
Somewhat surprisingly (i.e., WTF, you cannot be serious?!), "Lee Brinalle" does not seem to be an automated script dealing with incoming orders instantly. Instead, I now expect that some CCP PA is pressing "accept" buttons and copy & pasting the info into an Excel sheet.

It has been very interesting to watch the volume of isk poured out into the market to buy the Research Components: Players have decided what the remote chance to win something is "worth." Huge numbers of units traded. |

I'm quite surprised by the results and pretty much about everything related to that event.
Could a dev take time to explain what happened exactly with fascinating graphs and excels sheets?
Did the biggest contributor sell his titans fleet to buy research components?
In the name of the Monocle Clubhouse, those unbelievable results started a dark fire of absolute madness and there will be consequences IRL and ONLINE.

We, The Monocle Clubhouse, have spoken.
This so called "lottery" by is nothing more than a display of corruption in the highest of levels.
Upwell Consortium have abused our trust and as El Space Mariachi has clearly stated, this act of aggression will not be tolerated.
I would also like to echo Aram Kachaturian's request for some transparency in these proceedings.

In general I like how many events have happened in the past couple of months since I started playing the game. They provide content by inviting you play the game a bit differently for a given time. Specifically about the Research Component Event I liked that it had some storyline connection to the Frostline Site Event and it gave the impression that players can actually "help build" the first Citadel.
But, here is what I think could have worked out better:
1. As other people noted already: it would have been nice if there had been an opportunity for Industrialists/Researchers to participate in their way. Let the Explorers find the Components, let Researchers reverse-engineer (event-only) BPCs from said Components and let Industrialists produce small parts of the Citadel.
2. Make it more present from the very beginning, or possibly before that, that you're only going to able to grind Research Components in specific Regions of the Everse. If you're based in one of those regions, you're going to have a massive advantage. Give others a week of time to get their ass over.
3. If Explorer-focussed: make finding the Research Components Character-bound. As in: you can't buy or sell them, you can't trade them to anyone other than Upwell. Or: give one "point" for finding them and another for trading them to Upwell.
4. The way the Event has worked, for one time and one time only Exploring became actually a team effort (that or paying a lot of ISK for buying loads of Components): have enough people (say in a huge Alliance) working together and you'll get much better chances of winning the price for delivering most Components. While in general that isn't a bad thing at all, Exploring isn't really a team effort at any other time (apart from higher level sleeper sites). So maybe do that more generally: make Exploration more profitable as a team thing.
5. Everyone who decided to play the Event and not sell their Components knew it from the beginning: other than a small chance to win a BPC there is nothing you'll personally get from grinding sites. Well, a T-shirt, if enough others decide to give a (edit:) fork. I think for the whole dynamic it would have been better if you could either a) sell the Components to Upwell for a fixed price or b) get a small amount of something special for doing the sites. Because otherwise all that happens is that people are reminded how stupidly bad time-for-ISK data sites are.
6. Be more transparent about stuff. As noted, announce things that give certain players a big advantage beforehand so others can adapt. Also, make the numbers for each round public, don't hide them in circles.
(And no, I don't want a recount or anything, even though I like monocles.) |

It's not my place to actually post the numbers not being the organiser, but the top contribution was an organised exploration & live event group pooling resources and doing a concerted drive. I imagine second place was another similar group based off how many I am aware they contributed, though there was room for other groups between the two.
So it's a bit misleading when there is only a single pilots name on it all, but because it was run as an individual pilot thing that's the way official recognition has to go. |
