I have searched with no success... Pardon the dumb question but is there supposed to be a key that controls simply powering all the thrusters on a vessel on or off? (As with for the lights.) The panel view shows a 'lights' tab and a 'thrusters' tab.. Is this a feature that is simply not ready yet or am I really missing something here? Selecting and changing each one seems a tad tedious. OR, How can I Power down a ship/base, then only turn on a fridge?
This just came up the other day as well. Press P. To find a specific light. Point your cursor at it then press P.
No sorry I believe you misunderstood. As you can press 'f'' and only the lights turn off, is there a key to press to turn off all thrusters. I'm not trying to trace which light corresponds to its own slot in the panel. Addendum: actually, being able to simply select and create groups in the panel would eliminate the need. I'm hoping that is maybe on the agenda? The user could then have custom power management modes, combat vs cruising and whatnot. It would be kinda cool to be able to hit p, then click a preset and for example all the normal lights turn off and 'red alert' ones activate. Additionally, perhaps power management could be more important with such things as shields.
Great request. Yes a total power management system would be nice. Something like a hologram screen you could select items from. It could be used for all kinds of in game Intel. Power, ammo, everthing that's displayed now in the screen corners. Everything.
