Can we have an option to hide the safety button and permanently leave it "red"? I thought this was EVE... |

I completely agree. I can see the safety causing some real problems with the low-sec crowd. Just one more thing to pay attention to when you log-in. 
Can we maybe set the state before we undock? That would probably solve a lot of problems. |

No, firing on a ship in low-sec still gains you a Suspect flag. You would need at least a Yellow light, if I'm reading this correct.
Just to expand on this for the FW folk: If you forget to at least go Yellow, you might end up trying to change your safety in the middle of a fight because it won't let you activate your modules.
In short, it's a very bad design decision. |

That's a good point, but when I'm out roaming I like to shoot first as much as possible and with targets (unwilling or not) as rare as they are in some places, well... maybe you can see what I'm getting at.  |

Eh... Don't you have to "confirm" changing safety state?
I know it's not the end of the world, it's just... stupid. |

Easy kills will still be easy even if someone has to turn off their safety, it's the hard kills that are a problem.
The real rage here is that this is EVE and why the **** do I have a safety! |

I read that as "professional asshats". 
And Andy Moo's post stands (hopefully EVE doesn't act like my old K98 and lock up the whole assembly if you try to rack a round with the safety at half!) |

I read it as they planned to do it later anyway.

Kind of reminds me of persistent window states in the UI which, IMO, was the most odious oversight of that whole fiasco. I mean, this is totally minor in comparison but look how long it took them to get the UI to save states. Hopefully we'll get this in the next point release. |
