The details of calculations may be posted or available somewhere for reference purposes, but I'm not going to make any promises on what will or will not be provided in that way. I would probably say though that we'll not be presenting detailed numerical results in the in-game displays. As I said, the calculations take several factors into account and they would be messy to see in a game window.

I personally think that would be a nice option as well, but that's something we're not devoting time to at the moment. Not that it's hard, but it's not core to the game working.
