Can we get a tooltip to tell us what potential new ships do?
« on: October 19, 2019, 01:02:02 am »
When I see that capturing one fleet might add MRLS Corvettes, and the other would add Pulse Tanks, it's hard to make a decision without an in-game tooltip telling me what those ships actually are good for. I'm sure veterans of AI War 1 (or after playing a bunch of this game) won't need it, but for me, as a new player, it feels like I'm basically just flipping a coin.

On that note, I'd kill for an in-game encyclopedia or wiki. So far, the hardest part for me is trying to internalize dozens and dozens of different units, what they're good for, and which I should be prioritizing.

Already exists. Hold C and click on the thing giving the ships.
Autistic, so apologies for any communication difficulties!

Could we include C-click in a  tutorial in some fashion?

Including it in a tutorial would indeed be nice, but for @amblingalong : pay attention to the text at the bottom of tooltips. There are various keys you can hold or hold+click to access more information that are listed there.
