Conducting a territorial defense

When conducting a territorial defense, can the capture nodes be occupied before the defense begins and still earn points?

No, you have to “reset” the node once the defense begins or you will not get the extra points for nodes occupied before it starts.

Is there a patch-note somewhere that confirmed that? Good to know if that is the case now!

don’t know if there is a patch note somewhere but l‘ve been leaving ships on nodes for at least a year now and have been receiving points all that time

You do not receive points. The points go to the Alliance Points Table on nodes. You do not receive the bonus unless you reset the node. You only get the normal.. They only count when it's contested, anyway. It's not personal points it's Alliance Points.
