v1.8.0 — Environmental Damage & Decompression

v1.7.0 — Station Systems & Hacking
- Added interactive station-console hacking commands.
- Engineers receive lower AP costs for console intrusions.
- Added deck-wide door unlock, camera suppression, deck-plan reveal, sensor spoofing, alarm suppression, reinforcement delay, and local power control.
- Camera suppression now reduces alarm gain from ordinary actions on that deck.
- Power loss reduces sight range and places the deck on emergency lighting.
- Sensor spoofing feeds false contacts into the existing Noise & Detection system.
- Reinforcement jamming delays the existing security-hatch reinforcement schedule.
- Major hacks attempted by non-Engineers can trigger security countermeasures.
v1.6.0 — Noise & Detection
- Added audible marine footfalls; movement can draw nearby defenders without directly raising station alarm.
- Scouts generate quieter movement noise than other specialties.
- Recent sound events display approximate hearing radii on the tactical deck.
- Hostiles now enter an Investigating state when they hear activity they cannot see.
- Investigators pursue the strongest audible recent sound rather than magically selecting the latest event.

- Existing gunfire, doors, grenades, melee, and breaching noise now feed the same detection model.
v1.5.0 — Specialists and Security
- Added Commander, Assault, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, and Scout marine specialties.
- Specialty bonuses now affect AP, shooting, sight, breaching, suppression, and field treatment.
- Medkits can stabilize adjacent downed marines; Medics treat faster and restore more condition.
- Hostile suppression now applies correctly to station defenders.
- Human defenders can fall back when badly wounded or suppressed and cover their retreat.

- Formation destination preview while issuing coordinated movement.
- Stack-on-door command for Alpha and Bravo fireteams.
- Breach & Clear command for unlocked, overrideable, and charge-required pressure doors.
- Burst-fire suppression. Suppressed units suffer reduced accuracy and lose action points on their next activation.

- Fireteam targeting overlays identify doors and planned formation cells before committing an order.
VERSION 1.3.0 — 2026-08-16
ADDED: Alpha and Bravo fireteam command controls.
ADDED: Coordinated formation movement for fireteams.
ADDED: One-click fireteam overwatch orders.

BREACH — CHANGE HISTORY
=======================
VERSION 1.2.0 — 2026-08-16
