Dear developers! Can we please have our DPS meters back?

[Hagalazꑭ]

I noticed that after the Interceptor update, dps meters are mo longer displayed. Only the "damage potential" which kinda sucks, since they are waaay to approximate and doesn't reflect the actual situation even closely. So...well, give us the DPS meters back. Pretty please?

I don't think NMS has 'dps meters'. This isn't WoW.

Starship weapons used to show dps potential on their mouseover tooltip. That was removed in this update.

Why'd you even respond if you didn't know what he was talking about?

Except it has.
Edit: they looked like that and they were on all the ship weapons. Cannot remember if they were present on multitool weapons too.
Now only weapon which has it is, afaik, the photon cannon

Well, it's high time you reconsidered. It was there for over 2 years. Until recent update

To be fair to Mr. White, the dmg potential on starship weapons is not the same as dps meters. Not surprised HG removed it since it only caused more questions and confusion anyway. Now were totally in the dark and can only measure our damage by "time to kill" or "shots to kill"

There never was a dps metet

see the screenshot of Ash a few comments above. And please, stop failing ;)

Stats for ships or multi-tool weapon tech are best 'moused over' in Space Stations or on the surface of a planet. Depending whether you view multi-tool weapon tech or star ship tech, the DPS information appears differently depending where you are and what it is trying to be viewed. That's how it was in the previous update at least.

I can't check anything at the moment as I can't get controllers to function properly since the update. : (

To be fair, it's at least confusing to call a text field in a menu a "meter."

[Thirl]

Yeah, I miss the dps information from the tool-tip, I hope/wish/want them to bring it back. But I agree I would not call that tool-tip a "dps meter". A dps-meter would be something actively monitoring the damage you're doing, taking into account your accuracy, how many times you're hitting/missing, etc. The tool-tip is more of a dps-rating tool-tip.

[Darth Cervantes]

Why the heck were they removed? It made a difference for adjacency to get the most damage out of your weapons.

[Musashi]

Its just a bug

Ship weapon DPS data on-hover (mouse etc. tool-tip UI) incorrectly removed in the recent "Interceptor" update is fixed in newest (07 April) Experimental build. Hello Games will soon push it to Stable. Yes, it was a coding error that data has been missing this week.

"Fixed an issue that caused the DPS readout on some starship weapons to be hidden from the UI."

Yup. I saw that comment from the devs. Guess all the above gentlemen who claimed that I should go to WoW if I wanted DPS indicators and there were no DPS meter in the first place failed miserably. As that type of persons usually does. No exception this time ;)

So, if I'm reading all of this right... The "Damage Potential" number on the side of the readout is meaningless as it just goes up the more weapons you slot. There was once a DPS number on the main weapon slot, and that'll be coming back soon. So, for now, best I can do is slot various clusters/weapons and blast things to see what damage I'm putting out?

Also, similar thing for shields. I have an S class sentinel now, with a proper cluster of shield+upgrades, and can't get the damned thing to max out to save my life. All shield boosts (S class) seem fixed at 30%.
