• Deployed Anti Infantry Turret Min CoF increased to 1.1 from 0.45
• Deployed Anti Infantry Turret Max CoF Increased to 1.45 from 0.45
• Auto Anti Infantry Turret Target Acquire Time increased to 250ms from 150ms
• Auto Anti Infantry Turret Base Turn Rate decreased to 300 from 750
• Auto Anti Infantry Turret Fire Tolerance decreased to 1  from 5

Active Hive Shield

• Increased resist for resist type 3 (Direct damage of Furys, Bullbogs, ect) to 75 from 60
• Increased resist for resist type 5 (Direct damage of Annihilator) to 40 from 10
• Increased resist for resist type 11 (C4) to -50 from -100
• Increased resist for resist type 34 (Direct damage of Decimator) to 45 from 37

Active Hive Core

• Increased resist for resist type 2 (Direct damage of small arms) to 80 from 0
• Increased resist for resist type 3 (Direct damage of Furys, Bullbogs, ect) to 15 from 0
• Increased resist for resist type 4 (Direct damage of Basilisk) to 70 from 0
• Increased resist for resist type 5 (Direct damage of Annihilator) to 25 from 0
• Increased resist for resist type 11 (C4) to -25 from -100
• Increased resist for resist type 34 (Direct damage of Decimator) to 25 from 0
• Fix for an issue where zone servers will occasionally shutdown unexpectedly.  

Misc Changes/Fixes:

• Fix for /fsay (faction say) functionality
• Spawning deployables will now have a slightly larger exclusion area around them. After a few seconds the exclusion should revert to normal.  This helps us prevent deployable penetration on the zone.
• Added Decon Tool icons.
• Tank mine should now blow up by other explosion's AOE damage.
• Fixed issue where skulls did not appear after a player died.
• Fixed an issue where the Warp Confirmation window would not appear, depending on the screen the player was in.  It should now pop-up when you're in a queue and able to warp, regardless of where you are.
• VS violet pulsing chassis light should now work properly.
• Cortium crystals should no longer spawn within 100 meters of player-constructed objects.

Good changes. The turrets have been way too powerful.
