As the title says, the strength stats don't show up on the Decloaker.

If we weren't going for your money, you wouldn't have gotten as much value for it!

Oh, wait... *causation loop detonates*

That is as expected. As it takes a good bit of time to compile all of that data, those statistics will be available for the official release but they are generally not updated for the pre-releases.

Whoops, was beaten to replying. Well, even so:

This data takes time to generate because it's based on simulations (of which many are run), so it isn't done until right before the official release. New units in the prereleases thus have no data yet, so they show as that. They used to display 'ERROR', but Chris changed this to 'NOT COMPILED' due to the number of comments he got about it. Perhaps it should be even more descriptive in future versions, but regardless, thanks for the note. :) Always good to make sure.

How about just omitting the information from the tooltip entirely if it's not available?

Then we'll have people reporting bugs that the strong/weak information isn't available on some ships. :)

Why not just say what we mean? "INFORMATION UNAVAILABLE IN PRERELEASE VERSION"

It's somewhat versbose, but given the forum post they would have downloaded the version from has "Prerelease" in the title we can't be more specific then that.

Plus then it's somewhat obvious it's a bug as well if one does manage to not get generated and slip into a release version.

Or how about something like Beta/Unknown/In Progress/To Be Determined(TBD)/Unavaible. Just something that wouldn't seem like a glitch, or something that would tell people that the information is coming.

I believe that's what darke was suggesting, it's been added to the recommend quick tweak board.

Oh yeah, for sure, I was adding more words to the suggestion list.
