Notes for the upcoming patch have been released by Sporkfire on the Official Forums. In it we have the first of the new feature rollouts including spawning at a hacked base and the skyguard. Here is a taste.
1) The Skyguard anti-aircraft buggy is now available for use. Enjoy!
2) Hotspot algorithms have been improved. The Hotspots now scale up and down in size so that you can see the relative size of the battles in progress. Additionally, they are much more accurate (there is always a battle there now if you see a hotspot) and they refresh much more often. You should find them much more useful in finding battles now.
3) You can now respawn to a hacked building if you are a member of the owning Empire. Previously, once a building was hacked, the option to respawn there was unavailable. This is no longer the case.
4) The Advanced Hacking certification is now required in order to hack equipment terminals or vehicle terminals.
