Summary0000560: Recommended Targets
DescriptionWhen looking at the newly implemented armor types and bonuses, I've found myself looking back and forth between unit info cards trying to figure out whether or not a certain unit is effective against another. The advantage of the old Strong vs Weak vs summary was that it told you what units your selected ships were good against without needing to memorize what armor class an enemy ship has.

What I'm suggesting is a new section for the info cards (or perhaps a different box that appears when a hotkey is pressed). It can be called Recommended Targets or something along that line, and will tell you at a glance what your selected ship is most effective against, but without the confusing percentages. That way it won't have to be changed with every patch release.

There are really too many possible things that any given ship could attack. Literally dozens or hundreds, depending on how you break it down. The Reference tab in the stats window is about as far as we can go with this sort of thing for the moment, though I know it's not what you were looking for exactly. Sorry about that, but time's super limited.

What about just the top few a given unit's most effective against?

Possibly at some point, but as I noted time is the main limiting factor right now.
