Just a thought that popped into my head, it'd be neat if there was an in game unit encyclopedia to browse that lists unit stats, costs, and strengths/weaknesses, as well as an opportunity for humor with fluff text. This would certainly help out newer players decide on what fleets they want to capture if they are not familiar with the unit names. What are your guy's/gal's thoughts on this?
Here's an example of what an entry may look like

Given the nickname of "The Flying Coffin" due to the high death rate of it's pilots, the V-Wing is a fast and nimble fighter. Created during the height of the human civil war, these fighters would usually accompany Fusion Bombers to protect them from opposing anti bomber fighter squads. It's Gravatic Cannon is effective at taking out ships with lower powered engines, and improvement over it's predecessor's bland ballistic bolts.
