=== Improvements ===
* Added Camera mode (unlocked camera movement controls) when game is paused in flight and you hide the UI.
* Adjust Kerbal ladder navigation to remove sliding and provide better automatic transition between ladders.
* Part Mass and Cost now clamp their value to avoid negative numbers results from Mass/Cost Modifiers - configured per part via minimumMass and minimumCost in each parts cfg.
* Revamped [[Kerbin]] scaled space planet.
* Implement single camera system when running in DX11 for improved performance.
* Add new part - [[FTE-1 Drain Valve]] to drain resources from attached parts.
