So whenever I want to outfit my ship I'm limited when it comes to different weapons. Now, you basically can only fit two different types of weapons effectively which limits the great variety of weapons.
for instance:
I like missiles but can't find a good fitting for those on Cobra/Viper. First two slots are always fixed beam lasers. We're talking about the two remaining slots:
If you mount 2x missile rack with dumbfires one rocket misses to the left side and one misses on the right side (they don't come from the center, but slightly left/right depending on ship). So fitting a single rack and correcting the lead indicator works very well. But what do with the other slot? As soon as you hit the button, the missile fires too. So this doesn't work at all. Same with Mine Launcher.
With a third fire button I can assign the missile launcher to button 3 and get a gimballed Multicannon on the other mount at Button 2.
Oh..yes you can cycle to next fire group, but when you do this, you can only fire with 3 weapon because you have to cycle.
At present, E
only supports two types of weapons simultaneously regardless how much hardpoints you have. This may work well for Eagle or Sidewinder, but gets a problem at ships that have >2 hardpoints. I'm greatly impressed by all weapons that are available right now and the endless different configurations, but in practical terms the configurations are pretty limited on the weapons side.
Give us players the opportunity for more variety!
