Can we get a note on weapons like the Sebastopol that explains when the weapon is used it damages you, and for how much? Many of my friends buy this weapon and then complain to me over voice chat that their weapon is damaging them.

I'd rather they know this for themselves, it doesn't really seem blatantly obvious that it is an intended feature of the weapon.

Like, "Self-Damage 33%" if the weapon takes the end result damage and multiplies it by 0.33 for the self damage.

Or just be really confused when you try to use a weapon like this as a new player.

The % would be giving you too much information, I think.

I'll look into modding the description with a "severity tag". e.g. Immolation: Warning ~ using this weapon will damage your own shield badly.

That's all I want, honestly. I don't care if it says how much it damages you or not, just the knowledge that it actually does.

I would like to know how much for certain weapons. You did mention that the difference between the self damage on the Incineration compared to the Immolation.

If I was a new player building random stuff, I would like to know what the difference the two is.

It would help immensely to see that there IS a considerable upgrade going to the Incineration, or an upgrade at all. Otherwise, I'd not bother and problem sell the bp to some bloke doing Engineer missions.

A tag indicating the severity would be fine. Anyone actually interested in the precise number can measure it easily enough.

this does make way to much sense. must make it more complicated for once i agree with AEM but make it says it takes large amount of shield if you are bad. and if you are good it still takes of shields. best desc evar.
