Disable fire groups without changing them

[Titus Balls]

One thing that I'd love to see is in the Fire Groups tab, a check box within each column to be able to disable it without having to undo any button assignments.

For example, when Mining I have the following:

* Mining lasers + Collector Limpets
* Prospectors Limpets + Collector Limpets
* D-Scanner and Data Scanner

I'd like while mining to be able to disable the third column, so I can only cycle between the first two.

Why not add the third to the second?

Why not add the third to the second?

That might tackle the specific example, but not all cases. My mining fire groups are similar, except that I have pulses and multicanons in the third fire group. This means when I want to swap from prospecting to collecting limpets, I have to cycle through them and have to stop firing my mining laser while I do so. This is a minor irritation.

What is more likely to be more than a minor irritation is if I have a couple of combat-related firegroups and a mining firegroup and I end up cycling to that one in the middle of a firefight. In that more stressful environment the potential for unhappiness is greater, and being able to disable the mining firegroups temporarily (rather than deleting them when not actively mining) would be a boon.

I support OP's suggestion.
