Assign Weapons to multiple Groups
« on: March 30, 2019, 02:33:03 PM »
You probably know the problem. You have weapons of long range and short range you'd like to fire in the same group. But what happens, if an enemy is at long range? You have either to waste flux or to waste time.

I suggest to make it possible to assign weapons to multiple groups manually. It could maybe be done by clicking shift+mouse on weapons to select more than one.

Stopgap.

Put the long or short range on autofire and you wont have that issue. You can swap and toggle which set is on auto as necessary

I got actually 2 Groups on my paragon and when one of these 3 is on autofire, my flux will rise.

1. Hardpoint
2. Beam (Short and Long,... this is the group i meant)

Other reasons not to use autofire are:
-There is often more than one enemy ship.
-My Tachyon Lances and Phase Lances need to be timed and fired simultanously to kill (small) enemies in one shot. Otherwise i have to follow half killed ships and waste more flux and time while more enemies gather around me.
