Silent running and Power management.

For more effective silent running and power management

It would be nice to bind systems in the power management to the silent running toggle switch

Cutting the power to non essential systems and enhance the effectiveness of silent running.

You can use your HOTAS software to apply a macro to power management when you toggle silent running on and off. You can also do something similar with a gaming keyboard with a bit of fiddling. Lastly, there's also Voice Attack. I don't have any experience with it myself, but as I understand it, it uses macros based on voice commands.

Cutting power wont make silent running more effective, at best it'll have it last slightly longer. But yeah, would be nice.

It could also be use for different options .then just for silent running ,

For example switching weapons an cutting the power to the weapons (groups) not used for better recharge rates and heat management.

Yep, was thinking exactly the same thing myself a few days ago - would be very intuitive. Could easily be set up the same way as power management is now... just put a switch on every available module to disable it when in SR.

Would be perfect, I have a voice attack command to disable certain modules when SR is enabled. The issue is it has to be modified for each ship.

Maybe they could add hotkeys for premade ship configurations (by the player, similarly to how firegroups are made).

Would be great for multiroles. One could, at the press of a button, go between a mining setup with refinery, drones, and lasers all powered on to a defensive getaway setup with cells, chaff, and pdt active instead of the mining gear.
Could just be an extra tab on the power management screen to add/delete your own configurations.
