Description

This idea was suggested by DuxCro. You can find his streams here on: https://www.twitch.tv/duxcro

Currently the Systems tab for the Turrets in the Design menu is a bit bare-bones and lacks some explanations for what each of the more specialized turret does. A small, yet brief description about them, would give new players, and even experienced players, some rather needed info on what they do.

A visual example of how it would look: image
