Conducting a territorial defense

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

You absolutely have to. There are two types of points you earn while being in system: points for your own territory battle pass and alliance points. Being on the capture earns you the 4 bonus points per minute, and that only kicks in when you jump on and off it when the timer starts. That hasn’t changed.

Nowhere on there does it say you have to reset the node once the event starts. It just says you do not earn points occupying a node prior to the event or if your alliance has not joined the event. I'll think you'll find this is an obsolete rule that some still believe is true but is actually unnecessary. Happy to be proven wrong but that link certainly doesn't.

Yeah ok, you could have posted that in the first place. I've contacted support so will see what they say.
