    In current game (1.0) we have tooltip as for example:

    Damage Per Shot: 6.3
    Rate of Fire: 1.9
    Energy Per Shot: 9

    Now what i do always is open Windows calculator and multiply 6.3 * 1.9 = 11.97 Damage Per Second
    It seems that Energy Per Second (9 * 1.9) almost linearly always matches the DPS so i don't pay attention to that. But i feel like this is vital information, because it is otherwise not easy to tell if new weapon is an upgrade or not. You also don't want to alt+tab much if you played in fullscreen. In other words; i have unfair advantage.

    You can think of other layouts, but here's 1 suggestion:
    Damage Per Second: 11.97
    (Damage 6.3, Rate 1.9)
    Energy Per Shot: 9

    Also, legendary weapons should show damage in general. As it is you just get an item description.

    bumping this because i share this same idea. idc about necroposting.

    Edit: also, this thread should probably be moved to suggestions.
    Reddit: nvm, it's already in suggestions, didn't know that suggestions had subtopics.
