Issue 996: https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/issues/996
Earlier discussion: hijacked 0.4.6 thread
Rather than copy over the entire stringtables/en.txt file and make people dig through it, let me mention one addition and two examples.
If there are no objections or significant improvements suggested in the next few days, I'll try to commit this and submit a PR. (Even if it is not ideal, hopefully it will make more sense to a new player.)
- For the "Direct Weapon" Pedia entry, I added this sentence:
Code: Select all
Ships built by species with the piloting trait can affect the weapon damage.
- The Laser weapon part has a table listing shot damage:5 and number of shots:1. Not touching that.
The text used to say:
The Laser, a more powerful ship's weapon than the Mass Driver.
I'd change that to
Code: Select all
The Laser, a more powerful ship's weapon than the Mass Driver. Upgrading the weapon technology will increase the shot damage. Modifiers, like a ship built by a species with a piloting trait, will increase (decrease) shot damage by 2 per bonus (malus) level.
Improves Laser weapons by three levels, increasing strength by 6.
I'd change that to:
Code: Select all
The ultimate refinement of the Laser weapon. All ships with Laser weapons within [[metertype METER_SUPPLY]] are improved by three levels, increasing shot [[encyclopedia DAMAGE_TITLE]] to 11. Modifiers, like a ship built by a species with a piloting trait, will further increase (decrease) shot damage by 2 per bonus (malus) level.
