Ship system blurbs should cut off after the first paragraph outside codex

You can't add a succinct description in the first paragraph and then fluff in the second paragraph as you would with weapons and ships, because when you are viewing data on a ship, the entire ship system description will get listed, sometimes ruining the layout if it's really wordy.

It's different for systems - they use "text3" for the succinct description that shows up on the tooltip, like the vanilla systems do. It needs to be very succinct and as such didn't really fit into the first paragraph of a longer description, style-wise.

That makes sense. I guess the Codex revamp will eventually sort this out anyway.
