I really enjoy using the power prioritizing feature. It really allows you to push your ship to its limits. However, I've noticed that when I am in a dangerous situation, I dont often have time to go through all my modules and customize them quickly to my current situation. I would like the ability to quickly switch between multiple power priority profiles, similar to switching through fire groups. An example of where this could be useful would be when a person is out mining, so they have their hardpoints deployed. If they have offensive weapons and mining tools equiped to the ship, both will try to activate when the hardpoints are enabled. It is difficult to load out a ship to be able to handle both of these being active at once, so normally you use power prioritizing to get the results you want. A typical miner will probably want their tools to be active most of the time, but will want their weapons to be a higher priority in the case that they are attacked by pirates. Currently, the best way to do this is to set their weapons to a higher priority and then manually disable them while they mine. When a pirate shows up, they go to the modules, and quickly activate the weapons, which overloads the powerplant and the lower priority mining equipment shuts off during combat. It would be nice to have power profiles so instead of manually having to switch each weapon on quickly, you can just switch from profile 1 where the weapons are disabled, to profile 2 where they are enabled and the mining equipment is disabled with a single input. I don't see this as overpowered, because it is simply rewards a person for their foresight and planning for possible situations. You would still have to manually set up your own profiles and the power priorities within each profile. It seems like something that would be easy to set up, and I would find it very enjoyable.
Incase it is hard to understand what I am suggesting here is as good a illustration as I can do:
Profile 1 Profile 2
Name Power Priority Name Power Priority
[o] Thrusters 30% <1>
[o] shields 20% <2>
[o] power distributor 18% <2>
[o] FSD 10% <1>
[o] shield booster 9% <3>
[x] Beam Laser 7% <5>
[x] Multi Cannon 5% <5>
[o] Mining laser 5% <5>
[o] fuel scoop
[o] Refinery 4% <3>
[o] Limpet controller 3% <3>
[o] Cargo hatch 1% <4>
