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.

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• Unpublished skill books can no longer be injected.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.

New Player Experience:

• Fixed an issue where mission guidance would not start if there was no other missions active when accepted.

New Player Experience:

• Overview now correctly loads default preset settings after deleting custom user created presets.

Patch Notes For 2022-11-25.1

Features & Updates:

Gameplay:

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