Hi

Not been playing very long so excuse me if this is a daft idea.

In the "Skills" section of the UI, hovering over the skill provides a brief overview of the skill. When you hover over an implant/hardwiring no such information is presented.

Would this be possible? Sometimes I get a bit mixed up with which hardwiring is doing what and this instant info would be really useful.

Quick win for consistency?

It might make things a little easier for new players, but after a couple of months, you'll probably know the names of the skills anyway. I'm not sure if you'd really want to use a hardwire for a skill you don't recognise anyway.

Oh god.

God forbid making things consistent or helping new players.... Shocked

I can't always remember what "Fuel Conservation FC-803" means - a tool tip would be useful.

Thanks. I too got this information from clicking the tiny "Info" button, reading the description and then closing the window. Rather than just being told the information without clicking.

You have a problem with consistency? Ease of use? Less RSI?

I can't think of a single reason that adding more clicks is a good idea. If you can provide me with a reason I will happily drop it.

No one is suggesting adding more clicks, they're not necessary. There's nothing wrong with adding tooltips either, however it takes time and resources for someone to code it and I feel it's not a priority task. As previously explained, most players will already know the hardwire effects by looking at the name (It's pretty easy, Skill name - slot - percentage modifier) and most players would only be interested in the hardwires which relate to the skills they've already injected and trained. I understand it might be a little confusing for you at first, but it's not that much of an inconvenience and I don't think it really affects that many people.

You can post your idea in this thread though, it might be included with other small changes.

Always good to be dismissed as "once you have played for a while you will understand" Big smile

Anyways. Thanks for a sensible-ish reply.

I will look at that thread and see what is going on there.

Simple idea, I support it.
