We are releasing a patch shortly that will include the following items:
1) Facility Link Benefits have been implemented. There is more information on these benefits in our online manual.
2) The Enemy Density Warning System has been implemented. When a large number of enemy units invades a facility's SOI, all friendly troops on the continent will receive a message alerting them to the buildup.
3) Vehicle access will no longer be reverted to Empire-wide access when an owner is killed.
4) Fixed a bug where players would be invisible for several seconds after they respawn. This also fixes the issues that caused a delay in accessing equipment terminals after respawning and vehicles trunks after getting out of them.
5) Changed Decimator's secondary mode rate of fire to match primary mode.
6) Certain Framerate optimizations were made for higher end machines. Lower end machines will also notice some improvement.

Servers will need to come down briefly for this update. We will try to keep the downtime as short as possible. Players are currently being notified to finish any captures they have in progress and log out.
