Hard points automatically deployed without being asked

[EdVaessen]

My hard points automatically deploy when I go into or drop out of supercuise within a solar system (except when I drop out of supercruise at an orbital station).
It is a nuisance. No such behavior ever showed before.
Do other people experience the same these days?
By the way: I play Elite Horizons on OpenSuSE Leap 15.1 linux.

They are not deploying, but the game for some reason is making it look like they are in this most recent update. I see all the weapons in the current firing group shown on screen, then it fades. However, in my case they are not deployed and I do not have to "retract" them to re-enter SC.

I wish we had a better way to know what we have selected and what's actually happening. I have to toggle through all of my fire groups to know where I'm at because it fades off the screen if my heart points aren't deployed. Also I don't understand why I have to deploy hardpoints to use a utility like a scanner that's mounted externally to the ship. I don't have to deploy to use a heat sink. I seem to recall in the past there was a way to tie those to a button that had nothing to do with the hard points. Basically not one of the fire groups.

Do you have 'deploy on trigger press' selected in Options? Just a guess.

Maybe. I will check. I cannot turn it off only for select modules I presume.

Indeed it fades.

It's been that was as long as I can remember - maybe a reminder of what firegroup you have selected.

Weird--it seemed new to me when I came back after my latest break (started up again in late May). Seemed new only because it was aggravating the heck out of me for those first few days, but it's possible I just never noticed it before.

I noticed that recently too and can t remember this happened in earlier versions. And I play since 2014 too.
