Agreed! and +rep, freehotdawgs.
I'm a new ELITE: convert from the "X" games. Coming from that franchise, I am very used to working with numerical stats to compare price vs performance for ship upgrades, systems and weapons, and I would really like to see more of that info made available in ELITE: Dangerous as well. I certainly don't want to turn E

into "X", and I realize not everyone has a desire for that level of detail and analysis. But looking through the forums I see many of us asking for the info because it seems strange trying to make a decision about a high-cost item based on the (very) little info we are provided in the outfitting UI.
I have seen several threads devoted to ship stats, (check out
Gunny Highway's thread ) and those sometimes include discussions on the finer details of the systems & upgrades available, but I have yet to see anything on weapon performance and effectiveness like min/effective/max RANGE of projectile weapons, missile damage, etc.
If anyone has a lead on where to find that sort of info, I'd be grateful.
