Patch Notes For 2022-12-08.1

Features & Changes:

Universe:

The Gallente Federation has strengthened its presence within the Intaki system, completing the construction of a new Federation Navy station above Intaki Prime as well as a new stargate connection between Intaki and Amygnon.
The increased Federal presence within Intaki has caused the system's security status to begin increasing. Intaki's security status has increased from 0.1 to 0.2.
Intaki V is now labelled as Intaki V (Intaki Prime) in capsuleer user interfaces.
The Caldari Navy's presence within the State's new territorial holdings in Syndicate have been strengthened with the completion of three new Caldari Navy stations in the UM-Q7F, 0EK-NJ, and T-LIWS systems.
The newly constructed Gallente and Caldari stations are open to capsuleer docking, however industry and office services are not available to Capsuleers at this time. These services will become available in the future.

Patch Notes For 2022-12-06.1

Features & Changes:

Factional Warfare:

Reduced the base payout of Battlefield sites from 225k LP to 150k LP.
Increased the respawn time on Battlefield sites from 2 hours to 3 hours.
Reduced the Victory Points gained from each Battlefield from 2,500 points to 500 points.
Increased the number of capture points from each successful tick on a Battlefield capture beacon by 33%. This will make Battlefields capture faster.

We are making some small adjustments to Battlefield sites. With some solid data and great player feedback, we found that the payout was a bit too high. Similarly, with increased Advantage Values the Battlefield sites were granting slightly too many Victory Points, in effect devaluing standard plexing. Thanks for all the great feedback!

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

Unpublished skill books can no longer be injected.
The minimum output of the DBM is now set to 100% from 110%.
Stealth Bombers can now get inside Small and Medium Advanced Plexes.

Patch Notes For 2022-11-25.1

Features & Updates:

Gameplay:

We are making a few changes that affect the Advantage System in Factional Warfare.

We are increasing the output of completing certain objectives. Completing an objective felt a little too underwhelming due to too many points being removed compared to those being added. You should now see every completed objective update the advantage score as every objective will score at least 1% advantage.

Advantage Objective	Old Points	New Points
Rendezvous Point	+500	+2000
Battlefield NVY-30	+5000	+15000
Propaganda Broadcast	+200	+1000
