Eve Online has started the next step in their 'Project Discovery' a tool which allows players to analyze scientific data in return for in game items. Players can look at light curves for stars which have been gathered with the COROT spacecraft and look for planetary transits which may have been missed by previous analysis.

There are a number of scientific problems where humans continue to demonstrate superior analysis capabilities over computers, and project discovery provides a way for scientists to harness a thousands of humans to help with their data processing.
