Autotooltip

ok, so what is AUTOTOOLTIP?  I presume this relates to giving the textual details about an object kind of like in stock where the tooltip was just a string value in the ODF.  So, where should i be looking for the editable text if its not in the actual ship/station ODF?

Tooltips are in Dynamic_Localized_Strings in the main directory.

the "AUTOTOOLTIP" naming conventions is created by the Fleet Operations Development Tools. You can use whatever name you like, as long as the dynamic_localized_strings key and the reference in the ODF are the same (and they where not used earlier in the dynamic_localized_strings).
For example "MYMOD-Gigablaster"
