A series of tooltips for the pop-up command bar that each ship and station gets, updated to fit in with the rest of the tooltips in FO. It's a copy/paste rather than a direct replacement, so already customized tooltip files won't be overwritten.

As a rewrite of these is planned for future FO, these ones should work as placeholders.

I think the bullet point is a bit odd on the second picture ( ), but looks cool nonetheless  . Nice job

Thanks, these things were remarkably frustrating for something so simple...

The second one is virtually identical to the original, just in bullet form. Maybe 'attack ship' and 'attack area' should be seperated?

I think it's because "weapon range: varies by chassis" isn't formatted (indented or bulleted), which is weird to my eye at least  . Maybe other people have better suggestions though  .

Proselytizing alert ahead:
Would you be interested and willing to write a tutorial on how you made these for the guide? (  )

Lol, tooltips are very hard to make, even in notepad ++.  I figured it out and was able to write a set of them for my Dr. Who mod, but I couldn't explain how I did it very easily.  More power to you Tyler.

Mostly I just copied and pasted, then edited the text. I'm not really very good at writing things. Besides, I already see a tooltip turorial in the guide.

The weapon range is the same as in weapon entries.

Ah, ok, I wasn't sure if you had some special techniques or anything to add to what I'd already written
