Controls Questions

Regarding the power control for sys/eng/weapons, is there a way to decrease how much power is in a specific one? In the controls menu all I see are key assignments for adding a pip into a specific control, which in turn takes half a pip it seems from the other 2. But what if I just want to go down one full pip from one and up one full pip from another, without affecting the third? I'd think I'd have to manually push one down first, then the other up...but I don't see a way to do this. Am I missing something?
 
AFAIK, there isn't a way to do that. Following on many space game conventions that this one resembles strongly, pilots are meant to think in terms of "what's the most important of the three right now!" in combat, not micro-manage it that carefully.

There is also the problem of adding yet more control assignments. I'm in favor of as many assignments as we can get, but even with a full HOTAS rig there are only so many buttons available. I have one 4-way hat on my joystick dedicated to power assignment, and it works okay in combat. I'm not sue where I'd find room for another set of controls even if they did add this feature. :)
