Description
Currently only the description of a unit is displayed on mouseover of the build menu. There are a few more bits of info that are vital (and need rapid displaying, preferably not on a delayed mouseover event):
- Metal Cost
- Energy Cost
- Unit name
- Build time
- Range
Optional:
- DPS (per shot or per second)
- Energy/metal making

Imo these thing could appear in the s_info box - as though the unit was selected - when the mouse is hovering over a potential unit type to build.
I think including DPS is a bad idea because it's heavily context dependent and people will probably misunderstand.
Also, e/m making is maybe not useful for non-eco units (there are tonnes of things that make/use trivial e/m amounts). I think that for eco units the amount it makes of stuff is mentioned in the unit description field, but not 100% sure.

Just to make it clear - i tink the 'extra' info of e/m cost, buildtime & range is only worth showing in s_info when the mouse is hovering over the 'unit build' button; otherwise this info is not that useful.

I had the same idea, just haven't got to it yet. I might rework the whole tooltip soon (it's really simple code at the moment, so not much work).
I was thinking of getting rid of delay on all chili related tooltips and saving the delay for units/map related stuff, or would that be to far?
