Tiny Tesla Turret Tooltip Tinker (Add stun/slowdown property of Tesla weapons to the tooltips)

[Gaagaagiins]

TL;DR

Add information about the stun/slowdown property of the Tesla weapons to the item description and/or Factoripedia entry.

What?

I feel that to better communicate those weapons' overall effectiveness, the stun/slowdown property is a crucial detail. The current descriptions emphasize the target jumping quality but not that.

Why?

It would make it more immediately obvious how amazing these weapons actually are, and completely change how one might choose to utilize them.

This is a small one, but, I found that the tooltip for the Tesla weapons neglected to even mention their strongest property.

I remember thinking that the main selling point for both was that the attack would jump to other nearby targets. I was more than pleasantly surprised to learn that not only does it do that, but it also stuns and slows down targets upon hit. I certainly noticed this was the case when I was going out to clear biter nests, and with Uncommon Tesla Gun ammo I was able to keep entire swarms of biters from being able to catch me while my personal laser defense and Destroyers turned them into ash. When I noticed that the Turrets had this property too I was even more pleasantly surprised.

This property, perhaps even more than the target jumping quality, elevates the Tesla Gun and the Tesla Turret in usefulness, from being a pretty okay way to rip through the weaker members of a large swarm of enemies, to an essential cornerstone of perimeter defenses, which greatly enhances the efficacy of all other defensive features. I played some tower defense in Warcraft III back in the day after all--it was always best to put in some slowdown so that your higher damage turrets had more time to do their job.

Obviously I have no suggestions on the gameplay features of the weapons themselves, it just seems like an oversight to not have those properties mentioned in the tooltip, or at least the Factoripedia entry. One can dream about those parameters being scaled up for higher quality versions, but I suppose that aspect is arguably scaled up laterally anyway by the increased target jump chance. So I suppose just a small addition to the item description would better communicate the Tesla weapons' effectiveness. It would be even better if the Factoripedia entry were to say how long enemies get stunned or how much their movement speed is slowed down.
