This week we've released the Medical Revamp's final stage (for now), the Early Discharge outside hit mitigation relief will no longer be provided until the faction members have received an excessive amount of outside hits first. This tidies everything into a neat little system that ensures abuse is not worthwhile, helps to prevent the mitigation form affecting events like Elimination, and hides the system away entirely unless it's absolutely necessary during orchestrated outside hit efforts against several members.
This change should mean that no players will even need to consider its existence unless their faction is actually targeted by an orchestrated outside hit effort - which they shouldn't ever be, because this system exists to prevent them.
Along with this, we've also released a new NPC with two unique lootable items, adjusted all glove / shoe cosmetics to layer over equivalent armor pieces, and adjusted company loyalty increases / decreases to be fairer for all companies and more intuitive for directors to achieve.

This workforce project focus list gives a little insight into what projects we're working on week by week, it doesn't include team managers. These current priorities declared informally by personnel for the week unfolding do not include other smaller projects they may be working on or the usual bug fixes. If an anticipated project is not on the list, it could mean that it's frozen due to other priorities, being worked on as a separate non-priority, or has been completed and awaiting testing / release.
