Unused Text#
WeaponTypes.xml contains a quick description for each weapon. However, the most you can see about a weapon is its name as found in the ship descriptions.
Some consecutive entries share the same text, and three of them have a "TO DO." as part of their description. Of these, Sun Beam lacks a period in its description.
