Unless I am mistaken -- in which case please delete this -- the ship weapon/shield/armour data is not updated on the ship info screen due to researched upgrades. Is it possibe to have the main number updated, or a second number letting the viewer know the upgrade total.
I.E. (Ship default 10 with 25% upgrade)
Lasers 12.5
or
Lasers 10 (+2.5)
