7 years ago So a lot of people are aware of fire control / support macros and there are some diverging opinions on their legitimacy but most people who have not used them do not know that it can also be used to easily configure a toggle function for a weapon group that doesn't have one.
Given that TAG has 0 heat, 0 damage, and you want it on most of the time, can we have a way to turn it on/off without having to fire a weapon group.
For instance, in a missile boat I bind 1 to XRMs + TAG, 2 to everything else, and 3 to TAG alone. 1 I often set to chain fire to manage heat, rendering the TAG there mostly useless 2 generates significant heat usually, or chain fires, so again you can't really use it for TAG 3 I cannot bind to my 2 button mouse, like many people, so I have to press 3 instead. Which then interferes with my walking/turning ability
Proposal: Add a hotkey that toggles activation of TAG lasers, i.e. without the need to hold down anything. Similar in behavior to the hotkey that opens/closes missile doors or extends/retracts Kodiak claws.
