Title: Reload rates for craft weapons displayed if changing with stance
Post by: Arthanor on May 21, 2015, 01:24:52 am

Some weapons have a reload rate that vary depending on your stance. But you can't know that unless you look into the ruleset, a modder puts it in the flavour text, look it up online or time it yourself. In the vein of other "displaying more info" patches we are seeing, maybe something like this could be useful?

(Note: Laser cannon stats are not accurate :P)

Not a bad idea... it will generate a bit of clutter on the Ufopaedia page, but it's not a bad idea.

Yeah, it's a bit more busy (and doesn't tell you which is aggressive, standard or cautious), but it's also more info.. Since the UFOPaedia page is so busy and there is so little space for fluff/additional info, it might be worth it?

For some weapons, the reload rate changes can be quite significant. If you are outranged any ways, changing stance can mean a UFO crash instead of a blown up craft.

I wouldn't mind an option to see "extra craft weapon info"... a smaller font version of this screen with the above (Cautious reload time is now defunct, but still), plus ammo count and re-arm rate...
