Game development
Changes to Data Sites
Together with coming changes to Data Sites all Ghost sites will become Cosmic Signatures (they currently are Anomalies), Besieged sites will remain Anomalies which won't require a Data Analyzer. The reason is that Besieged Sites are more combat heavy.

Jump Fatigue Reduction
With the Parallax release on November 3rd, the maximum amount of Jump Fatigue will be reduced from currently 30 days to 5 days. The maximum reactivation delay will be capped at 12 hours. This change is now available for testing on the test server Singularity.
