Some tool, probably on the firegroups tab, that would allow us to set our weapons to fire sequentially, rather than all at once?
Personally, I'd like if the sequencer had an auto-sequence mode, that literally just fired each weapon in the firegroup .5 seconds after the last, and a manual mode.
Manual mode could allow allocation of how many weapons fire at each step (for instance, if you wanted to fire 2 weapons, then another 2, and so on.) as well as adjusting time between each firing step.
I think this would make some weapons, like the PA, Cannon and railgun, just a bit more popular, as it allows pilots to fire for saturation, rather than waiting for pinpoint accuracy. It also allows for more naturally judicious use of missiles and torpedoes, limiting fire to one at a time (if desired) without having to mess around with firegroups or module power allocation on the fly.
As a sidenote, related topic: can we also get a (optional) velocity vector pip on our HUD, the "space dust" streaks are nowhere near precise enough, especially when flying near planetary bodies.
