While I agree that Missile Lock needs some tweaking, I believe that Button Up has enough downsides so as not to be OP, also I don't think that it's a hard counter to strike weapons. It may be used in several situations like "Oh crap, there's bombers heading my way and I'm high on flux. I should just activate Button Up." While it can let you shrug off the damage, eventually you won't be able to fire weapons as your flux will be too high and you will eventually have to turn it off and vent. Also, how would it be immersion breaking? Basically the crew is hunkering down, shutting off the shield generator and closing the Flux Vents to reduce damage as much as possible.
Also Coolant Systems reduces weapon durability by 100% so even if it is effective on high tech ships the weapons will be disabled quite easily as high tech ships have low Armor to begin with.
Anyway, thank you for the feedback and if you are able put these into a mod I would like to try it.
EDIT: I just realized that the way I worded Button Up did make it an invincibility button so I changed it.
