Brand new Refined Resourcer SKINs line has been released.

Fixed several issues with skillbooks being priced incorrectly in the Command Guri LP store.
Sensor Warfare Resistance (AKA sensor damp resistance) is now shown in the show info window for all ships. Players could get this resistance from some sources, like the electronic hardening command burst effect or T3D sharpshooter mode and it wouldn’t be displayed in the ship info which made it unintentionally hidden.
Several sleeper/drifter NPCs that spawned in Pochven or outside wormhole space have had the activity difficulty chance for salvaging updated to -5 instead of 1e-06.
Made some adjustments to Forsaken Hub and Haven dungeons to try and fix a very rare defect in where NPCs could become stuck and not warp in and the anomaly not able to be finished.
All Afocal Meta named lasers which were named “Masers” in their name and description has been changed to “Laser” to stop confusing players.
Fixed several mission text defects.
Fixed the description of nocxium incorrectly mentioning ores found through sovereignty upgrades that do not provide nocxium.
Clarified that only offensive module usage breaks your invulnerability when returning from an abyssal filament.
