Why no auto-shut off of weapons not in use?

[Kondensat]

Hi all,

i would like to have an auto-shut off of weapons, that are not active in a firegroup. This would make energy management MUCH easier and prevents the need to toggle things on and off manually. Specially in the power limited ships this would be a huge help imho.

And pls......keep all weapon hardpoints deployed when i said "deploy them" and stop retracting some hardpoint sizes when shutting a weapon off.....like the huge hardpoint of the FDL. it takes ages to deploy and retract....time, that is lost for a good shot often.

This Idea has merit and I think is worth at least looking into it. It could be a way to buff the ships with more hard points just a bit and debuff those with less, im looking at the vulture here.

Not sure if it would be balanced for everything in practice, but I like it.
