What does V/M mean in the weapon inventory?

[FroBodine]

When I bring up inventory, and click on weapons, one of the colums is V/M. What does this mean, please?

And why doesn't the game have tool tips when you hover over things to see what these things mean?

'Value to Mass' It's how much an item is worth per lb/kilo so you can decide which heavy item to sell or drop to stop being encumbered. For example, dumbells are 10 mass and around 50 credits in value whereas the Sidestart pistol is worth hundreds of credits but often less than 1 mass.

Oh heck, is that what it means? That's super useful, and I somehow just never noticed that entry.

Thank you! How are we supposed to know what some of these abbreviations mean? Is there a glossary in the game somewhere? Not sure why the developers forgot about tool tips!!
