VO 1.8.275-276 include:

- Corvus Greyhound turbo thrust increased from 350 to 450.
- Mines now persist for 30 minutes.
- Added a Drain Proximity Mine that drains power cells by 250 units when it explodes. It is available at some Serco stations and requires a high faction standing to purchase.
- Added ability for players attacked in monitored and guarded sectors to attack back in self-defense without any factional loss if they kill their attacker. This self defense ability persists for 15 minutes from the last hit by either player or until the original attacker dies for any reason.

Lots of other changes in the works, particularly with persistent capships. We're just working through a lot of different edge cases and making sure they're all handled. Hopefully that will debut next week.
