Modding tooltips

Is it possible to mod available tooltip information of a unit / weapon, let's say i want to for example display the pitch_speed or yaw_speed of weapons, would that be possible?

Hello!

Currently I do not believe this to be possible, but we’ll consider ways for it, in the future

Damn, i wished to add range of weapons with a offset of 70 onto the display card of ships/any structure with weapons, i feel like this is very valuable information that is only available on some wikis (which not always are updated), or on in-game files / patch notes, there's no actual way besides the ALT key to see the range but you don't have a direct number (meantime on abilities you do) so i felt they would be worth adding either as mod or in best case scenario to be added as default on the game

I see, are there are things you feel would be valuable to include on tooltips or communication? The tricky part is to not overly flood tooltips as well

In general, from all the missing "visible" values from weapons, the biggest one is the range of them, currently by how the ship pannel is design, it comfortly allows an extra displayed weapon stat just at the right of the Pierce.

Also ship turn ratio would be a very welcome addition below (or at the side) of ship speed

To not make this overwhelming to new players i would surely keep those stats to "advanced tooltips only"

I host multiplayer games very often, so those kind of questions about (does my X weapon shoot from more distance than yours? come all the time)
