1.214
-MIDNIGHT SILENT base stats and mods reworked.
-Increased tech lvl gain from high skill individuals (A and above).
-Decreased item unlock PS requirements.
-FLY NEST now generates flies based on SRM collected and only tags ships if they are not revealed and you are within their lidar cone.
-Melee impact sound now always gets created directly on target.
-Some other gear rebalanced.
-Fixed some mine mods not providing the correct ammo bonuses.
-Fixed one A-ROD mod being misplaced.



1.215
-STEALTH gadget no longer takes effect while disguised (stealth time is saved until disguise wears off).
-Stealth modded BLAST PACK now produces a nanowire explosion.
-Some items rebalanced.
-Fixed EXCAV RBL sticky damage not resetting when removing sticky mod.
-Fixed a problem with FLY NEST.

Please note: For the last couple weeks there was a bug preventing tech level requirements for gear mods from taking effect, allowing unintended access to certain mods. This has now been resolved. If you unlocked new mods during that time they might now be unavailable, but your spent PS is not lost, those mods will become fully available again once you reached their required tech level. Sorry for the confusion.
