Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Planet Search Overhaul (07/13/24)
It would be nice to have some sort of notification when you correctly set auto fire as i had a quick game the other night but not sure if i was doing it right, something small like "auto-fire engaged" or something.Or am i just crazy?
I am not sure how a sound cue would really help, as yes, I think in this case it would be a UI issue
Quote from: AlexThe battle station is not completely operational, shall we say."Now witness the firepower of this thoroughly buggy and unoperational batt... Oh, hell, you know what? Just ignore the battle station, okay?"
The battle station is not completely operational, shall we say.
I think it can be easily overlooked due to the strafe key being tied to the same shift key that toggles auto fire. In the heat of battle, Switching weapon groups while strafing and having the weapon group remain on autofire after switching back is not exactly an easy process.
I think the best solution might be to display the weapon firing arc overlay for weapons that are set to autofire, probably dimmer than the active weapon firing arc overlay, but visible so that we not only know that its turned on, but what direction do we have weapons pointing in as well.
