We're excited to hear what you think of these changes and seeing them in action for the remainder of Beta 1. Thank you for all of your valuable feedback which has helped shape these changes and will drive the rest of the changes made throughout the rest of the beta period.

Here are the changes coming this week:
- The upkeep cost for all additional services will be reduced by 80-90%.
- Core running costs will be reduced by 50%
- The debt threshold has been updated in line with the upkeep changes. This means with all services installed, a carrier can go 10 weeks (up from 4) without paying upkeep before being issued a final warning.
- The total upfront activation costs of some of the more expensive services will be reduced by 35-45%.
- The time between jumps will be dramatically decreased by only requiring 15 minutes for jump preparation and 5 minutes to cool-down.
The two changes below will come in the second beta. Additional changes can be expected as more feedback comes in:
- Universal Cartographics will become available as an optional service.
- Tritium will be made at least 2x more effective as a fuel.
