Acu upgrade description

Is it possible to add more info to acu upgrades ingame?

When you want to build anything in the game (land, navy, t4, etc) you can hover your mouse over the thing you want to make and it'll show you various stats of the unit (if you got the option for it enabled), but when you want to look at the effects of an upgrade you won't always see any actual stats. The uef nano upgrade for example: "Increases the speed at which the acu repairs itself"

Lower rated players who never used it before won't know if it is good or bad. It also doesn't say anything about the hp boost you get from nano.

I noticed this when i played nomads and was looking around through the acu upgrades, having no clue what anything was. Of course there is a certain discovery aspect to it, but it should also have an option to show more info to make it more user friendly.

All the acu upgrade tooltips are here: https://github.com/FAForever/fa/blob/de ... ngs_db.lua
Maybe you could write some new and improved versions of them? :D

Seriously it's just a text update, something anyone with the time can do. No coding knowhow needed, even just giving us a text doc or something would do it.

Seriously it was just a question... you don't have to sound so irritated.

Fun story, I had this exact problem and took to samdboxing them.

Like, the nomad gun upgrade is this wierd half way house of the usual gun upgrades.
50% faster fire rate, 50% more damage(RIP Aurora's)

And stuff like the bullfrog land exp suffers from personal space issues.
