Let the research begin…

As a follow up to my post about becoming a scientist in EVE Online I can now report I am now officially researching.

Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be generating any cool tech II blueprints for a while though. I am generating 3.8 research points a day. Although I don’t have anything to compare that with, it doesn’t sound like many to me. So right now I’m busy doing agent missions for Lai Dai - the corporation that my research agent belongs to - in an effort to increase standing and therefore the number of RPs I get.

There are lots of little things I’d like to know (and I’ll test and find out if no one tells me) about research. Like:

  • Do any improvements in skills or standing take an immediate effect or do you have to stop researching and start again?
  • Do the points you’ve accumulated stay or disappear when you stop researching?
