The second item confuses me personally, I see "2 surveillance levels sufficient" a lot in my logs when I get the 2nd item.

The thing is, that showed up before AND after a forecastle upgrade. Leads me to believe that it's either "2 levels above HQ cap" which most likely means "you've passed the two minimum levels to get a 2nd item", or it's a display bug much like sector discovery.

Of course thinking about it, I've seen " surveillance levels sufficient" as well...
