Support for higher function keys

[AgtPA]

F13 through F24 are still keys that are recognized in Windows and can be very useful as extra hotkeys. F13–F16 are bound to buttons on my mouse and I'd like to use them as keybinds in Elite.

However it's done, this game definitely needs some sort of Macro support, there are so many things like jumping through a series of systems, that just require the same handful of key strokes over and over and over again. I don't mind grinding but what does that really add to the game play.

Participants are reminded that automation of the game is not permitted. See below, taken from a thread about botting:

Hello everyone,

This thread was passed onto us from the forum team.

Automation is not permitted in Elite, we class automation as more than one action in game per button press, this includes fleet carrier automation.

If you suspect that automation is being utilised in specific systems, or you think a specific user is using automation, please report that to us here. We can then forward on your report to our anti cheating for them to look into.

Alternatively if you know the commander name of the account you suspect, you can submit an in game report and that will go straight to the anti cheating team.

Being expected to actually play the game… shocking!

Yet somehow voice attack and pip manangement macros get by with a nod and a wink. “I’m shocked, shocked! To see gambling going on in here!”

Yes the advantage of a EULA that basically says that FDev can decide what is or isn’t permissible on a case by case basis and those decisions are not binding on them in future cases.
