Guide Database needs to be include stationary defenses

It would be nice for the guide database to list the specifications of the stationary defense stations like defense turrets and their passives.

And on a side note, the Scout Cube, and Dode adapted torpedoes are not descriptive enough on how much increased or decreased damage they do to enemy units and the Tactical Cube doesn't give a description on how much damage reduction the armor does to what units.

PS:
On a side note, some Tereanan ships have armor 2 or 3 decks thick, way outmatching the Borg tactical armor on cubes.

The database is in the process of being redone at the moment and will 'soon' include all the values of units and researches .

Damage reduction from the Tactical Armor modules is on a per unit basis, and thus the list would be some 200 strings long at least. It's background info rather than useful info - the weaker the unit's attack, the more damage reduction.

Same thing with the Scout Cube and Dodeca - they do increased/decreased damage on a per unit basis. That will be accounted for in the new counter tables however.

the evil game mechanics are not suited for poor guide writers
