(4.0i) Hull functions can be restricted to certain experience levels.
Ships which have the appropriate experience level will behave as if they have the designated device. If they lose experience, they will also lose the ability to use the device. It is also possible to define devices which stop working when a particular level is reached.
► Note: If a level-restricted Cloaking device is assigned to a ship, and you set mission Cloak on that ship without having the appropriate level, your turn file will receive a yellow status. This is not normally a problem; your level is reported within util.dat, the level reported there will define the devices you have. However, at the time of this writing, no client can handle level-restricted devices and tell you in advance whether your ship can cloak.
