About this mod
Adds tooltips to ship configuration equipment slots with relevant statistics.
Compared to MyCu version, this adds a little more data at the expense of engine mods compatibility.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
Tooltips show statistics for:
What is Travel Engine Charge Time : "The time it takes for the travel engine to charge before your ship actually starts getting into travel mode, it's a transition time."
What is Travel Engine Attack Time : "The time it takes for any ship with that engine to accelerate to maximum travel engine speed"**
What is Travel Engine Release Time : "The time it takes for any ship with that engine to decelerate from maximum travel engine speed to normal speed"
**(this is a simplification, in reality it's the time it takes to get to maximum force, which means the ship can now try to accelerate to maximum speed
so for example on a L argon travel engine, it takes 85s to get to maximum force, after which the ship will accelerate to its maximum rated speed)
Hovering equipment item will also show comparison percentage difference with selected one.
Why an alternate version :
-My first X4 game, I went to split territory, looked at engines and thought : "hey that split travel engine MK3 looks sweet let's use it on my scout.."
and then : "ho I can't catchup on ships anymore"
why was that ? the reason : Travel Engine Attack Time of 45 seconds ....
COMPATIBILITY: This mod is compatible but will not show (or show the wrong) values for modded engines (through game extensions)
note that this only concerns Travel Engine Charge, Attack & Release times. rest of data is pulled from game data directly
two cases :
Why these problems with "compatibility" ?
Blame Egosoft, the function GetLibraryEntry() that is used for the encyclopedia to pull data does not pull ALL of the data, which means we as modders have no access to that missing data. Hence this mod relies on an internal copy table of that missing information to complete the picture.

This mod is save compatible.

two cases :
- new engines => additional data not shown
- changed vanilla engines => wrong data
