Features & Changes:

Balancing:

CONCORD has updated Dynamic Bounty System parameters.

• Dynamic Bounty System parameter floor raised from 30% to 50%. Solar systems that are running at the minimum bounty risk modifier will instead produce 100% of bounties with 50% of each bounty entering the ESS Bank.


• Increasing the maximum Reserve Bank payout by 33.3%

Developer Comment:

We are increasing the amount that goes into the reserve banks by taking from what was previously being lost. Now in worst case scenarios (minimum payments), 100% of the bounties will be produced by direct payments and ESS Main / Reserve bank funneling where previously the sum was 58.2%.

Developer Comment:

We are still excited about the return of the alliance tournament and are very happy to finally be able to get these prize ships out to the competitors who earned them. Because we've limited the accessibility of tournament prize ships for this year's event, the hope was to design ships which would be more attractive to fly in game, rather than sitting in hangars to get an edge in future tournaments. Congrats again to all the teams, have fun, and say hi to Vonhole for us.

Miscellaneous:

• 🤝Pochven and Needlejack filaments can no longer be activated within wormhole space.

• New animation for skill icon in Neocom when completing a skill/milestone


• Added a tooltip for skill icons in Neocom and Skill Plan Window

User Interface:

• Added additional information to the CONCORD Rogue Analysis Beacon under its Attributes. You can now find the attributes Linkable Ships, Link Duration, and Link Range.


• 🤝Contract managers can now reject Alliance contracts created by members of their Corporation.
