Damn You Frontier...

I wonder if this is a wear and tear issue?

I'd call Yvette Fielding and her crew.

Hopefully you'll make it in time for the Most Haunted Xmas Special!

Don't know if this is the problem you are facing but check in your weapon control option menu that you don't fire the deployed hardpoints.
Deploy and fire hardpoints is set by trigger the fire button. And same button are you using when asking for a Launch at a landing pad.
So turn this function off if you have not done so . And set an separate key for deploying your hardpoints.

Never had this happen - not once. Using X52. I've been playing since May.

@OP it does sound like a controller/configuration issue. With my HOTAS plugged in if I play a game like BF3/4 the control's go wild. So I would investigate your key bindings.

It's happened to me but I put it down to a dodgy button and disabled "firing deploys hardpoints". Forgot to deploy them a couple of times but you soon learn to remember.

There is nothing wrong with having "Firing deploy hardpoints" on... the question more is why aren't you having 2 group assignments? KWS/wake scanner/cargo scanner and Interdictor/shield bank/ECM in a group and you always have that ready and only switch to the weapon group once in combat and you never have that problem.

I can't imagine any pilots will have enough primary/secondary slots with just 1 weapon group assignments, even if youa re just running a trade ship.
