I like this, but I wish they let us customize what info we get in Tooltips, in an interface like the overview settings or the compare tool.

Personally, I would like a lot more info in Tooltips, like tracking speed, cycle time, drain amount on NOS/neut, speed bonus on MWD, passive and active resistance increases on resistance mods, etc.

Also, I don't like the fact that Tooltips don't show the entire module's name.

To be fair you should know what you fitted. Also cycle time is that little ring that goes round the weapon.

Yes! More information at point of use is good!

Good programmers! You can have a cookie! Or, being icelandic, some lutefisk or whatever it is the crazies up there eat for snacks.

Open the tactical map and hover over the gun. First bubble is your optimal, second bubble is falloff, third bubble is lockrange. Job done.

Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.

Do the new tooltips show crystal damage? That's always seemed like a huge oversight to me.

I mean, nice concept...great info...but...

Why So Big????

Is CCP at war with screen real-estate? Because most of the recent changes have just eaten up screen space to maintain functionality.

So you can see the information that it contains? IDGI is this a real question, would you like all the information cramed into some ****** little box you're squinting to read while in the middle of a fight?

No, you don't, you want it legible, easy to access, and you want it to vanish at a moments notice, all of which it currently does, the tool tip is very easy to get to show, and VERY easy to get to go away.

Oh I meant when you hover over a crystal in your cargo, the crystals that take damage like the faction crystals.

Currently the only way to see how much damage the crystal has taken is to equip it and hover over the weapon while in space.

It doesn't need to be nearly that big to do that, and could easily be made less bloated without sacrificing any legibility or accessibility.
