Summary0012799: For some objects, levels are pointless and there is no reason to show them in hover text
Description
The popup text on Shield Recharge Station says "Lvl. 2 Shield Recharge Station". What exactly does the level do?

It doesn't make the Shield Recharge Station harder to destroy, Shield Recharge Stations are invulnerable (see 0012747).

It doesn't make the Shield Recharge Station restore more HP, the tooltip says Shield Recharge Stations fully restore their shields.

If the level doesn't do anything at all, I propose removing it from the display text.

This bug affects other objects. In the attached mission file, hovering over Ammo Chest, Stealth Generator Bay, Switchplate, Warp Pad (mission exit), and Explosive Rune shows levels. And for all of these, AFAICT, the level of these objects has absolutely no in-game effect.

(Chests legitimately have levels, this may indicate the approximate level of the loot inside and the number of HP they'll have when empty. Doors, terminals, and cover have levels, but this affects HP, and for terminals it may also affect the strength of certain effects like explosion damage.)

For 0.930:

* Now mines, player mines, tripwires, and electric floors are the only tiles to display a tile level (since hackable tiles now display their hack cost directly, and nothing else really has any truly meaningful info to infer from level).

Thanks :)
