Advanced Tooltips

from Sins Forums

It's always bugged me that the damage vs armor type display isn't in the game for the units. Yes, you have some basic "Strong vs X, Y, and Z" but that's about it. I tend to play this game off and on so I don't retain the information and really hate having to track down outside sources for the info.

Is there any way of having "advanced tooltips" or something in the game to actually display this info?

You would still play aweful If the tool tips told you defense frigates are good against long range frigates, fighters and corvettes. Try the new tutorials first.

:D I've been playing since Vanilla (again, I do so off and on.. it'll oftentimes be a year between plays) so I don't need a newbie tutorial on how to get the hang of the game. It's a strategy game and as such I want that data available to me in game. I like hard figures such as knowing what % of damage a particular unit is inflicting on another.

It's not a big deal as I'm familiar with outside resources, but I dislike having to go to those outside resources when I fire it up after a long hiatus... I feel like that that information should be available within the game itself. Perhaps I'm just weird, but it'd be a nice option. :)
