A third and a fourth fire-button

[dr00p]

I have two joysticks. I would like to have a third and a fourth trigger for firing.

Yes, switching between firegroups is too hard for me

But seriously though, we can bind the heatsink, chaff, shield-cell, to a button and/or a firegroup. But I can't do the same with the weapons. I would like to use a separate key for my missiles for example.

I would actually like to have the option for the d-scanner and others as well.
So as it works it's fine, brilliant. Firegroups and all. But it would be cool if there would be a key-bind option for about everything there, weapons, limpets, scanners, as well. Just like there already is with primary and secondary fire, as well as shield-cellbank, chaff, heatsink.
So that the firegroups become more optional maybe too.

Maybe that would make the hud a bit cluttery, if all is sort of binded in one firegroup. - As if all scanners are selected under one or two triggers, in one firegroup. - Maybe just a smaller font would solve that a bit?

So, tertiary and quaternary? triggers for firing; everything else all key-bindable.

My name is Elliot, and I love packhounds, beam lasers, and multicannons.

I do agree, more bindings for firing weapons would be nice.

I'm afraid that has been brought up before, and FDev's answer has always been the same: they don't want more than two fire groups.

It's not a matter of technical issues; apparently, they think it would make the game too easy.

That said, being the happy owner of two Gladiator NXT (one left-handed throttle, one right-handed flight stick) I would very much like a third and fourth firing group.

Amen to that.

It's an old request, though - but maybe FD has changed?
