== Star Conflict OBT v 0.7.2 ==
General changes
* Changed the pilot development screen:
- Experience no longer affects the development of the pilot, previously distributed experience points will be returned, the accumulation of experience will continue with the old rules, the experience will be used later in a major game update.
- Reduced the number of technologies, most united in “implants.”
- The races offer unique lines of technologies - each new rank openes one new implant of the chosen race.
- From several implants of the same rank, only one can be installed (and active) at a time.
- Replacement of an implant with a different one can be made at any time.
- Implants only affect ships of the same and higher Tier, not the lower Tiers
