GCW control score points have been rebalanced for several key parts of the game. Event-based scoring (Flashpoints, Invasions, and Space Battles) are now balanced so that each of them can contribute at about the same overall speed, for how frequently they occur, while still based on attendance.
- Reduced factional base control scoring by 50%.
- Reduced space battle participation and victory base scores by 50%.
- Space battle participation score now scales with attendance using the same rules as ground events. The more players that show up on both sides, the higher the participation score goes.
- Increased invasion participation and victory scores to 1,000 each (from 500/250).
- Increased invasion construction scoring to 500 (from 400).
