Forum cat is very disappointed you're trying to blame feline companions for your own mistakes. Feed your cat right now.

Is there a button to stop any unintended events caused by a cat jumping up onto your keyboard and mouse and causing 74 weapons firing violations inside a station? :eek:

If you make sure "deploy hardpoints automatically" is disabled, then setting your fire group to one which has no weapons and HUD mode to analysis means that they need to press at least three buttons before the fire key will do something bad, which should give you more time to do something.

At the new Odyssey ports, draining your weapon capacitor and setting no pips to weapons will protect you. For conventional ports with hangar, this will only help on approach as the port will recharge the capacitor when you dock even with no pips allocated.

If you bind the fire key to something like "Left Ctrl + Right Shift + F5" that would provide further protection against smaller cats, especially if you don't tell them that's the binding.

If you don't fit weapons to your ship, the cat would first have to navigate the outfitting interface to buy some more, which would certainly slow it down.

If that doesn't work you might be best off buying the cat its own PC and account.

All good stuff - incredibly weapons were set to analysis mode before the unpleasantness - somehow my feline colleague managed to switch to combat mode, deploy hardpoints and fire 74 rounds before I could stop him - I must talk quietly as I suspect he has heard that I have been telling tales on him.

I feel your pain. Back in the beta days mine almost cleared my saved game, when there wasn't a "Are you sure yada yada" warning.

Mine is roleplaying a pirate with a wooden leg. The bastid is even more dangerous with that thing.
Couple of days back he hit me on the lip with it... hes prolly frustrated he doesn't have a shoulder for a parrot to sit on

One of my favourite moments in literature is from Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake, where the manservant Flay throws a cat at the upstart Steerpike. Flay misses, except that when flying past Steerpike's head, the cat maliciously stretches out a paw to claw his cheek.

Because let's face it, that's exactly the sort of thing a cat would do.
