I love the tooltip and datamanager functions, which allow events/contracts/flashpoints to give popup windows for those interested in learning more - it is a wonderful element of the universe building that HBS is doing in the game.
However, while we can pull popups for 'Mechs, Factions, Weapons, Stats, MechWarriors & Lore, there isn't a way to easily pull up a specific Star System and no provision for pulling up Vehicles.
User the TGT_SYSTEM one can pull up the current system in a popup, but it doesn't seem to have the ability to directly choose a system.
Below you can see examples of Lore, 'Mech and Planet (local system) popups generated in an Event window:
It would also be very nice to be able to give popups on Vehicles, so players can read notes about their capabilities and the Lore on those units. Something along the lines of what we already have with MechDefs - for example:
While this CAN be accomplished utilizing the existing Lore jsons, it would be really nice to have a slick tooltip popup similar to the 'Mech version, and it would also mean that it would source the VehicleDef directly, instead of needing to make changes in multiple locations (though currently the 'Details' under VehicleDefs are blank).
Similarly, the Star Systems could have Lore jsons (and they do for some FPs/Events), but it would look a lot slicker to have the tooltip popup, and you would just pull the description directly from the StarSystemDef file - much like the current Target System does in Events and Contracts.
Thanks for your time!
