"Incorrect cockpit mode" .... seriously ?

[SirDuc]

Sorry if i'm being nooby here, but i have returned to this game after 4 years. Is there really REALLY no way at all to bypass or remove this message. Or am i completely lost in the many key bindings this game has to offer ? I feel like a complete idiot, not being able to figure this out.

Yes, that message spam kind of nullifies the advantage of having different firing tools in the same fire group, separated by the cockpit mode. No, it can't be disabled, unfortunately.

[SirDuc]

Thanks man for a quick reply. Unfortunately it's a game breaker to me. So i'll leave yet again. Perhaps i'll be back in 4 years ..... again.

The only way to get rid of this message is to set analysis tools into a different firegroup from normal weapons. It's pretty stupid that they let us put both analysis tools and combat tools into a same fire group and keep spamming us that message whenever we use tools.

Just going to throw this out there, i too get annoyed as when i get that message. But, i enjoy the game enough to simply, switch cockpit mode, and then back again...... not sure i would throw in the towel over something so trivial, just saying :)

[GeorgeKaplan]

Yes agreed. It's a minor thing. And it makes me laugh everytime I forget, especially going into combat.

Can I just get a bit Marvin the paranoid android and add that the FSD "ready to throttle up" message is another one. I mean it's 3037. Brain the size of a planet and they want me to set the throttle for them. They should give Verity a Marvin's voice option.....?

[ZombieHunter]

Don't blame us. We told them in Alpha this was a very bad idea. Yet here it is.

[Mr Robert House]

that really does make the whole cockpit mode thing pointless

I just want more than 2 fire buttons. I guess it was done for game controller use, but for rarely-used stuff you might press twice in a session I'd prefer to shift the command to a button box. (E.g. detailed surface scanner)
