It's a small thing, but seeing that it should be simple to implement in code, it would be nice if deactivated hardpoints were stowed instead of deployed. Here's an example of why - when I'm mining in my Anaconda, I very much enjoy the view, both from the cockpit and external cameras, but my ship is bristling with turreted weapons that distract from these views (especially those top turrets). I don't need these weapons unless a bad guy comes along, so I'd like to deactivate them in the module panel and have them stowed. Obviously my mining lasers would remain out and active.
There's also the issue of my huge hardpoint (blushes) poking through the cargo hatch.. Who thought up this design? Let me stow my size 4 MC until I need it. This will allow me to capture some cool videos of my collector limpets at work to share with the world, without "showing off" this obvious design flaw
