Middle Mousebutton to fire? Gimme a Hotkey for dis-/enabling weapons Egosoft!

Post by gazi3 »

I know that left+right mousbutton are used for HUD purpose but this will break my indexfinger i swear :D
So i tried to find a way to use left/right mousebutton and figured that there is none and it would be best to have a hotkey for turning weapons on/off! Look its simple:
Turning weapons "ON" will disable all left- and/or rightklick interaction with enemy ships, BOOM. Please have a heart for a veteran X-pilot :P

I found that assigning weapon groups works nicely for that (went looking after blowing up a satellite I was about to repair)

1-5 works nicely :)

If I want weapons off I just set to a weapon group with no weapons, I imagine you could configure All/Left/Right/None to 1/2/3/4 if you wanted.

Already considered it but you will ALWAYS click on the target wich brings up some kind of context menu (very handy in a dogfight) when you have "primary weapon" on left/rightklick... Just simply add a hotkey into the option menu (use it or dont) and everybody is happy :D No seriously: My indexfinger will approve that! JUST DO IT! :P

This is one of the solution, but I'd prefere a dedicated weapons on/off button.
