CONCORD and Response Times

<ul>
<li>CONCORD have gone through multiple changes in organization and effectiveness. The spawn sizes have been reduced to one battleship and two cruisers, however, these ships have increased damage output and a broad range of electronic warfare to prevent escape. In addition the Energy Neutralizing batteries will completely drain a ships capacitor almost instantly. CONCORD will also proceed to eliminate any discarded player drones. CONCORD response times for aggressing a neutral player in High Security space have also been significantly reduced. Further details can be found in the Serious Security Blog by Fear.
</ul>

CONCORD and Criminal Standings

<ul>
<li>Multiple changes have been made in standing hits for players who aggress a neutral player in High Security space. In addition to a significantly reduced CONCORD response time, players will receive a standings hit based on the security rating of a system in which the attack takes place. The base value for aggression is now increased by a factor of 3. Base values are Aggression of 1.5%, Ship kill is 6% and a pod kill is 37.5% 
<li>Players security status is now rounded to 2 decimal digits for comparison in Faction Police response. The change in how security status is now derived means that current standings will be rounded up to 2 decimal places. Players who are sitting as borderline criminals in some high security systems will now become outlaws as their standings may have been affected. An example of this would be a player in a 0.8 system with a -3.0 standing, in which the true standing is -3.0499999 will be rounded up to -3.05 meaning they move from safe to outlaw status and would be destroyed by Faction Police upon undocking from a station.
It is also worthwhile noting that once you have been naughty enough to warrant a security status of below or equal to -5.0, you will be considered an outlaw and whenever you attack someone in a low security system you will become criminally flagged, as long as your target has a security status above -5.0. The table below shows the changes to security standing:
<li>-2.00 for access to 1.0 security level systems
<li>-2.50 for access to 0.9 security level systems
<li>-3.00 for access to 0.8 security level systems
<li>-3.50 for access to 0.7 security level systems
<li>-4.00 for access to 0.6 security level systems
<li>-4.50 for access to 0.5 security level systems
</ul>

NPC's

<ul>
<li>Aiding someone who is being attacked by the Faction Military now triggers a second spawn to aggress the person who is assisting with remote repairing.
</ul>

Database Optimizations and Improvements

<ul>
<li>Many database improvements and optimizations have been added to benefit players in many ways, ranging from a better and more efficient development environment on our side to a leaner and faster database on Tranquilty.
<li>The database will now generate population statistics from systems with more than 5 players at any given time. This information will be used to analyze load balancing in heavily populated areas.
<li>Improvements have been made during the start up of Tranquility. These changes minimize the risk of start up problems, reduces the chances of a restart in case of failure and allows us to preload more solar systems.
<li>More analysis data will be collected in order to allow us to investigate reports of disconnects to improve player experience.
</ul>
