My first game I fitted out a drone with a cloaking device and the ability to generate supplies. I had cloaked drones moving through enemy space watching everything they did.
... it worries me when you ask questions like this.
I guess I better make sure I've got a level or two of sensor tech and some ships floating around with it.
I don't play Balance but I doubt Kwok is too far off Stock. And in Stock you need "Stellar Manipulation" level 35 just to open the warp points. From there you get the "Gravitational Quantum Resonator" which itself tops out after 30 levels. Or put another way "Stellar Manipulation" level 35 is the low point, level 50 mid-way, and 65 the top end.
