Aixelsyd and DarkPaladin, I'm very impressed. I'd really like to do this project but I don't have access to a 3d printer. Any chance of getting one printed for a fee? Or does anyone know where I could get one printed in the UK?
Clink on the link to the file in Aixelsyd''s original post. It will take you to the Thingiverse web site, from that page you'll find a button to have the item printed for you. Chose one of the services and it will give you links to folks in your area, even in the UK, that will print it for you and ship it for a fee. I was going to do that but decided to buy my own printer instead.
DNA-Decay, some good ideas there!
For sure there are a ton of options for which buttons to use and their placement. I'm a PVE player, which effects some of my choices. I actually ran out of my commonly used commands before I ran out of buttons! All together I have around 40 momentary buttons and 2 toggles between the stick, throttle and box.
I haven't bothered using the previous subsystem button since engineering my ships, I just target my... target, and take down shields and then hull. I've never used the jettison all buton, although I did think about it to get rid of the pesky mission reward cargo. I have landing gear assigned to a button on the throttle so I don't have to take my hand off of it when I use it for an emergency break to slow down when coming into a station too hot.
The toggles were tough to assign since they're not momentary switches. There aren't enough commands that allow a toggle option.
Thanks all for the compliments but please remember that Aixelsyd is the designer and was kind enough to share the 3D file!
