Hybrid Turrets have gotten a slight decrease in Capacitor usage and some Hybrid Turrets now use slightly less Powergrid.

Agents, Missions and Deadspace

Some of the hardest complexes operations on TQ, Serpentis Fleet Shipyard and particularly the Angel Military Operations Complex have received a serious blow to their power. Troop reductions in the innermost pockets should be clearly felt.

War System

Mutual War Declarations have been added. These are wars that to are accepted by the party that is declared war upon and as a result have no cost.
War Cost Calculations have been simplified. Any war including corporations cost 2 million pr. week. any wars that include an Alliance as any party cost 50 million pr. week. The war cost is then multiplied by the number of non-mututal active wars the Corporation or Alliance has declared on them. Example: If a corporation you are declaring war on already has 3 wars declared on it, your war will cost 4 x 2 million pr. week.
Billing and cancellation for wars that have not been paid for are now handled correctly.
War System now performs closer checks on all conflicts that a corporation or alliance may be involved in. This will prevent cancellation of conflicts between 2 corporations or alliances with overlapping recipients (Corp1 is at war with Corp2 and Corp3, Corp2 is at war with Corp1 and Corp4. The system will no longer cancel wars between Corp1 and Corp3, nor Corp2 or Corp4.)

Disabling turrets should significantly reduce lag from conquerable stations.
