I was thinking...(yeah it is a miracle)
When you are ratting or running mission everytime you need to fire on a new target you need to press each gun shotcut, one by one.
When you have like...30 rats over you, this is simply boring. Can the devs demi-gods plz create a "fire all weapons" button? Likem you right click on one of your weapons and on the menu apear a button like "fire all weapons on the choosen target".
Simple and effective.

Alright, I'll break it down for you: 1: Buy Logitech G15 ketboard 2: Program hotkeys to activate all weapons 3: Marvel at the fact that the usual blank spot in such a list is not left blank 4: Profit

Edited by: Kadrush on 30/09/2007 12:36:19 Is it expensive?
By the way...why everyone has to buy a new keyboard when ccp could simply add a new button to right click menu?

Not as expensive as it used to be, but depending on where you live, it may be more than you're used to spending on a keyboard. It is really handy, though. For example, the beta of Ventrilo supports the lcd display so you can see who's talking without installing overlays and such.
As for making a new button, sure but where would you put it. The interface is already cluttered as hell as soon as you try to do anything.

Costs a bunch but the logitech G15 can easily do this and is very flexible,
I have 5 "G" keys set up for the following (There are 56 available)
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 and the last one for a F1-F8 broadside.
others are assigned increase, decrease velocity, AP toggle, AB toggle etc etc.
it is possible to set delays between keystrokes, so F1-F8 can have a 2 second delay if using missiles, or you dont want all guns to run out of ammo together.
more complex sequences are possible, like the align for warp, engage MWD, cloak, uncloak warp to 0. but these need a lot of practise and some manual mouse input.

you can also buy a razer copperhead mouse and you can program in hotkeys which is a nice touch.

Why do you press each shortcut one-by-one?
You have 8 fingers, press them all at once.

I hate that controlling a ship, diplomatic relations etc in this game is basically..."warp in f1-f8 let's see"

The word basically means just that.
Yes, there are tactics etc etc etc etc....*goes on for about half an hour about tactics, mods, ship thingies, doodaas and bubble stabilizers*...but STILL, i wish firing weapons and warfare in general would require more work then..."umm....press that button."

well what it takes to fire a weapon from, say, tank? load, aim, fire.. it's same in everything that can fire a bullet, more or less.. the heck you want? all those nice little things computer calculates for you? imagine how long would a fight take.. 'warps in, sees a target, calculates the distance, target velocity, direction it moves, loads ammo in guns, 1 to 5, calculates the guns tracking speed/target velocity, signature radius. fires gun 1. repeat all above. fire gun 2... get my drift?

I think your going the wrong direction, I am sure in the 333 century or whatever, the Captain/pilot would just "think" shoot that rat with guns 2 thro 4 and it would be done by the ships Ai. And failing that, I believe that the backstory has thousands of crew at your beck and call to push the buttons. Your finger would be overloaded if you had to actually fly the ship manually, solo. Think a present day carrier captain doing everything solo

Exactly.
And I wouldn't recommend mashing F1-F10 in the middle of a fight anyway.

I meant battle(and diplomacy, etc) as a whole, not just the "fire weapons" bit.
It's so...game'ish(yeah yeah, it's a game) that it has really little immersion.
Really hard to explain what i mean by "i want a more complicated system in place", but basically i think it's about...well...it doesn't require much "thought" to fly a ship
Yes yes, you can rabble all you want about "Well you haven't pvp'd" or "you noob know nothing of real battle!" etc etc...but the fact is, piloting a ship in EVE is, the largest part, yet the most simple part.
And i KNOW it's not possible 'cause it would cause a whine fest the size of a tirefire in texas, and it would change all this and that, but still...some "brains" would be nice. Or actual piloting skill needs.

I have a G15 keyboard, works great but is pretty costly just to save that little bit of effort. Worth it for all it's features though. I tend to follow threads about this sort of topic, and I have read before that there are ways to map lots of commands to one key with a lesser keyboard, I haven't looked myself as I have no need but I'm sure it can't be that hard to find.
Off-topic: Tortun Nahme, is your first name meant to read as "nutrot" backwards? I noticed this the other day and now I think that every time I see one of your posts. If so: Eww...
