Greetings,
We already have many control binding settings in the ED Options/Controls with Throttle Increments that can be set to +/- 0-25-50-75-100 percent. How about we add another labeled "Custom Speed" with toggle on/off options. Then add in the controls, or more much more convenient on the in-game ships page, where a player can set the exact speed they desire when activating this button?
Entering or leaving an orbiting station without a docking computer a player can set the speed to 99.
A player doing a "don't scan me" speed runs uses it just before entering the mail slot to land on the pad.
No fines when chased by a previous interdicting ship when they pop in and try to ram your ship.
Not having to move the throttle or thrusters when disabling an advanced auto dock when you are no 7 in the queue to leave the station and trying to get to 99.
By the way...Why is it fwd/rev thrusters on a analog thumb stick will disable an autodock but up/dn/lt/rt on a 4 way hat won't?
Combat players can dial in a specific blue zone speed combined with a specific number of ENG pips no matter the ship type, engineering and use of Flight Assist on/off for the best maneuvering. In HAZrez, CZ, CNB and even taking on Thargoids. I find the 50 percent binding isn't always the best and could use different speed settings per the targets. Dialing in the best for each on-the-fly makes me smile!
Note that the docking computer will always go to 99 but players who accept the philosoply of, "We don't need no stinkin' docking computers!" might find it useful. Still this suggestion is to dial in the exact speed we desire per the many ways that we all play the geme. Unless a player binds more than one we may not even need all those Throttle Increment percentage options especially if we get two speed options to program.
Imagine the Frontier Devs going for less is actually more!
