What we really need is some sort of pop-up menu system.
Before long we'll end up with so many keys bound to various things it's going to be easier to learn to play the piano.
And it would be nice if we could remove some of the clutter from the firegroups.
For example all we should need is one key for scanner. You could then pick which type of scan you need from a pop-up. Without all this nonsense about changing modes etc etc.
You could say the same for limpet controllers.
One limpet controller for everything - then a pop-up asking how you want to program it.
A utilities menu. Lights, cargo hatch, landing gear, deploy SRV, fire limpet etc
I'm sure there are other examples.
The whole concept of technology is to simplify and improve.
This is why we no longer twiddle radio dials, have indicators on cars - instead of sticking your hand out of the window. We have central heating, we have climate control so you're no longer fiddling about with heating controls etc etc.
Making the game unnecessarily complex and confusing is contrary to common sense and the rules of technological advancement.
And it doesn't improve usability or player enjoyment - it just makes it look like a pile of uncoordinated, badly though out .... (insert rude noun here).
