Turret tooltips errors

1. 'Continuous shots', 'Time until overheated' can be extremely misleading.

Consider this:

This turret has:

heatPerSecond = 3.371

coolingRate = 1.12

simultaneousShooting = 1

 

Therefore, even though tooltip states 14 'continuous shots', turret overheats after first one (since all three barrels are fired at the same time, building heat to 10.113 = overheating)

What bizarre is: DPS stat is actually seems to be somewhat accurate 'sustained' dps, that takes overheat & cooldown into account ( damage per shot * 3 barrels / (heat per shot / cooldown rate) = 615.95 (difference of 0.25dps is probably because of rounding of a `damage per shot` value).

'somewhat accurate', because actual sustained dps is: 608.5. Ten shots (10 intervals) takes 91.4 seconds (measured via screen capture), dealing 1853.9 * 3 damage each.

2. Hull penetration perk really needs description line "Deals from 25% to 174%, based on number of blocks penetrated"

3. For 'CoolingType.Standard' turrets tooltip shows 'sustained' dps but for 'CoolingType.BatteryCharge' tooltip shows 'burst' dps (basically firerate * damage). Meaning that actual sustained dps of all energy turrets is actually 2x/3x times lower than listed value (most of them has recharge time longer than shooting time)

4. `simultaneousShooting` is still not displayed anywhere in tooltip, making 'making sense of turret's tooltip' - extremely difficult.
