The game was just updated with version 0.85a:

• A set of new passive stat increases was added to your character. I've felt for a long time that current leveling process is a little dry, especially in the beginning, and decided to add 5 new passive stats to improve, in ability sections. This should give you more choice in the way of building your characters.
• maximum character level was increased from 7 to 10, and experience needed for level ups was decreased, so you will get to level 10 in the same amount of playtime as to level 7 previously, even slightly faster
• Tier 2 and tier 3 abilities now require levels 4 and 7 instead of levels 3 and 5
• Assault class now requires 2 actions to reload a weapon, the same as all other classes, because quick reload can now be given to anyone with new passive ability
• New quick menu was added to stations, from which you can go to all available buildings on this station
