[req] firemode tweak

[darkconsole]

autotarget mode - like autofire but instead of shooting it just tracks, and only fires when you click.  im thinking of cinematic fly by pew pew. plus avoid the turrets wasting energy when they should not be because lol.

 

i like that the lasers go everywhere but we need better control over their power and heat

[darkconsole]

if i recall i think that is how firing worked in star trek legacy.

yes I like!

 

It be nice if there was multiple hotkeys to fire different groups as well and it be even more sweet if they were toggle-able.

track target would be the best name I think, tell all your weapons to always try to target your currently selected target

and you control firing with the mouse.

This is what I thought the situational mode was going to be. I still haven't figured out how that is supposed to work... how about "autotracking" ?

so far as far as i can tell situation mode works like this

 

1) are you physically capable of hitting the target? (range, etc)

yes: aim it yourself asshole

no: AUTO FIRIN MY LAZORS

 

2) are you physically incapable of hitting the target?

yes: AUTO FIRIN MY LAZORS

no: goto yes

Oh man, I needed that laugh today. Thank you.

 

But you might be on to something. I think it might be closely related to the autofire loop of:

 

Is there a target behind me?

If yes, point to the left and stop firing.

If no, point to the right and stop firing.
