EVE Online: Revenant Patch Notes - Pochven

EVE Online's Revenant expansion, set to launch on 12 November 2024, is the game's fifth full expansion since the return of the content format in November 2022. The patch notes are fairly extensive and dense. I find reading lengthy patch notes rather boring, so I also like to go to other sources for information. The format of the official patch notes for Revenant is a little unusual as I don't see as many bullet points as in previous expansions. Still, I'll try to add something to the patch notes.

This fifth post in the series concerns the changes coming to Pochven. Admittedly I don't have much to add to the current area in the patch notes. I managed to hop inside the Triglavian region upon creation years ago, looked around, and left. About the only thing I can really bring up is a Reddit thread I saw. 

Apparently the big issue in Pochven were the Observatory Flashpoint sites. The following changes will go live on Tuesday.

• The optimal total value of the site has been reduced from 3.5b to an average of 3b ISK
  
  
• On average, 40% of the site’s total value will now be given in the form of new Stellar Surveillance Data commodities
  
  
• These commodities can be looted from Stellar Observatory wrecks
• NPC buy orders for these commodities can be found in CONCORD, DED, and Secure Commerce Commission stations
  
  
• Only capsuleers within 50km of the Stellar Observatory are considered eligible for payouts
  
  
• The minimum amount of contribution to be eligible for payouts has been increased
  
  
• New Threshold Werpost sentry guns will aggress any capsuleer who goes beyond 50km from the Stellar Observatory
  
  
• Once within the main combat area, capsuleers will now only have 30 minutes to complete the site
  
  
• Any EDENCOM faction can now appear within the site (weighted toward the empire that owned the system before Pochven’s formation)
  
  
• NPCs will now behave more intelligently within the site
  
  
• Specific EDENCOM NPCs will prioritize attacking drones
  
  
• EDENCOM NPCs will remember which capsuleers have engaged their faction between areas and waves
  
  
• Triglavian NPCs will only be hostile to capsuleers who have attacked them or their fleet
  
  
• NPCs will now orbit at ranges more suited to their weaponry
  
  
• Sites are now visible within the Combat Anomalies section of both the AIR Opportunities and Agency windows
• Info Panel objectives will now appear to help players keep track of the site’s current state
• The activation range of the Assault Vector gate has been slightly increased
• EDENCOM NPCs will now significantly outnumber Triglavians within the Assault Vector area
  
  
• Cloaking is disabled while within proximity of a Stellar Observatory
  
  
• Micro Jump Drives and Micro Jump Field Generators are disabled while within proximity of a Stellar Observatory
  
  
• Warp drives are disabled while within proximity of a Stellar Observatory wreck
  
  
• Pop-up and local chat messages have been replaced with one-time transmission conversations
