The latest Battlestar Galactica Online update was released today, and it adds several new features and systems to the game. The biggest addition is the Merit currency that can be earned through PvP. Players can use it to purchase rewards such as new strike ships and nuclear warheads. They can also temporary take command of the Pegasus or secondary Basestar.

In addition, high level players will now receive less XP and loot for defeating low level NPCs and players. Also, players can now sell water for Cubits. More details can be found in the patch notes.
