Ship weapon energy usage

It seems that in ship combat, managing weapons and energy usage is key. However for some reason when I shop for ship weapons, their energy cost is nowhere to be found. Am I missing some source of information, or do I have to purchase a weapon and go into combat to find out how much energy it uses? If so, that seems like a bit of an oversight.

Well, I'm not even surprised that when porting to a new engine, something "unimportant" was lost.
What I'm really surprised about is that no one has noticed this before (including myself).
I thought it was a new bug, but when I checked one of the old versions (0.9.008-PUBLIC#2194) using the Internet Archive (https://web.archive.org/web/20220630052005/https://www.fenoxo.com/play/TiTS/release/) - it turned out that it ALSO does not show energy costs per shot. To be sure, I also checked one of the first versions (0.9.001-PUBLIC#2028) with ship battles enabled again (https://web.archive.org/web/20220518221400/https://www.fenoxo.com/play/TiTS/release/)... Same result.

Thus, I was once again convinced that the good old fashioned flash version still deserves attention and respect, because it does not contain new bugs and an "improved" UI inferior to the old one:

Not to mention that there are no attempts to turn my favorite class into garbage again, as it was before version 0.7.58...

UPDATED. Links fixed.
