Summary0022483: Tooltips should display average DPS.
DescriptionComparing the DPS of two units when you're given the number of shots, the damage per shot, and the reload time is a bit of a pain. I'd like it if the tooltips just straight up TOLD you the dps; it's the most important number about a combat unit.

Ideally, the low-detail tooltip should contain just the dps, and the high-detail tooltip could include the shot count, damage per shot, and either the reload time or the rate-of-fire.
TagsNo tags attached.

Number of shots and reload time is important for things like Tesla Corvettes or Spiders.

If the tooltip says "Close range AOE damage threat, DPS X" that's probably good enough; does knowing the reload time actually change anything? I think people just want a metric of "Lots of damage!" or "Low damage, but utility" at a glance.

If you do want detailed info then there's a detailed view.

It is relevant somewhat if you are facing something like said Tesla Corvettes. If you have a fast firing unit, then that weapon jam time really hurts. If it's slow, it isn't as big of an impact.

I suppose if you aren't someone who plays like me and look at every little thing, you might not care for that depth.

The depth is good to have, but maybe it can be in the verbose tooltip?

I'd even be ok with displaying shot count, damage, and rate of fire in the low-detail tooltip, as long as total DPS is displayed *somewhere*.

I have the changes for this stored. It says DPS, Damage, Reload, Range. If the unit has AoE, it says the minimum DPS and maximum DPS. This is in both abbreviated and non abbreviated.
