Shield Booster Strategy

Not with any in-game tools, at least not directly.



Using macros for this crosses into a level of automation I'm not comfortable with.

I know what you mean (I think, that you aren't comfortable using a non-game-provided advantage?), but I'm comfortable with it, you should see some of the external game tools the griefers (and not just the randoms, the serious groups too) are using.

I also feel that a lack of ability to assign preset pip configurations in game, is an oversight that we shouldn't have to deal with, so I use macros for pips too. Of course that does come with some disadvantages, I only have three general use pip macros which do not cover all eventualities, but still...

too much effort to squeeze as much as possible potential for "pvp"?
And pvp is just boosting race with turning in high speed , no some epic ship to ship battle like in movies, at least for me.

But interesting to know people using macros and second multi-crew account to get advantage at all cost. [where is it]

Problem solved. It actually was the latter, though I have absolutely no idea why. Technically it should be the same. Strange...

The gameboard is likely it's own device, even if it's emulating the inputs from something else. Whatever software/drivers it's using probably didn't isolate it well enough. I've seen similar things with joystick curves and the like, if they weren't configured properly.
