Unidentified devices need to be installed with a compatible device; ie, laser collimator and laser need to be installed at the same time for the collimator to be revealed.

Well, sure, but how do you figure out what to attach to your shiny new unidentified device?

A chart of devices, masses, and energy consumption at idle would help me figure out what I had. The stated level of an unknown device isn't trustworthy, correct? But the mass of a device is always reported correctly?

this is a great question and this information should be on the wiki so......

Here it is!

***** Warning!! May contain spoilers!!! **********

I made a table of the enhancers with their respective mass, apparent level, and power consumption, from which you can infer what each of the devices are. You will have to install them to get the power consumption but there's no way around that.

I also included a list of the weapons that are enhanced by the devices as a quick reference. I think I got them all but if I missed any please update the wiki. If you do not have wiki access post the corrections here and I will update it.

If you add price as well you can tell devices in shops apart without installing to find their power use.
