What are research points?

I have heard of this lots, and tbh, have kinda turned a blind eye to it. However, now with this nifty site I would like to pose the following questions:

  • What are research points?
  • How do you get them? Are they agent based?
  • I had heard that they keep accumulating even when you are offline, is that right?
  • What are they used for?
  • Are they worth looking into if I am interested only in making isk to fund my PVP?

Thanks in advance!

It is notable that the research point system may be revamped or even eliminated entirely in the near future, as per a recent interview with a CCP employee.

Research points are gathered by employing an agent to do research in a particular field for you.

You find an agent, and providing you have sufficient skills and standings with the agent you can employ them to research for you.

they will constantly gather research for you which you can spend in a store (much like loyalty point store) to buy Data Cores.

These data cores are used in invention which is how you turn T1 Blue Print Copies into T2 blue Print copies.

Or you could just sell the cores on the market for money.

It is one of the best forms of non hassle income in eve.

Most popular ones are mechanical engineering... mainly because T2 ship invention is done from these data cores.
