How to set ship to auto fire at everything...

[Mannskas]

I know some of us don't like that but I got annoying in mission to click auto fire all weapons... Is there a way that when you reach attack range ship attack automatically

[Wisecasper]

You just hit the spacebar when anything is in range and it will shoot it. Except if you have a ship selected that goes out of range. In that case you just it the tab button. (Set enable tab to offscreen targets and it will do those behind you too).

I tried to do maintain auto attack but it didn't work... I am not understanding how it works? And I don't want to hit anything I just want to get 9km distance and the ship opens fire without me lifting a finger

Once you start firing with that mode active, the ship will continue untill there are no targets left, that's the laziest you're gonna get, lol

You only need to press the spacebar once, then watch it go, still have to manually activate all your abilities though, can't automate those.

Clicking the RMB on the weapon icons on your board will switch them between single burst and auto-fire. You'll see a green outline on the icon when it's on auto and the outline wil "pulse" when your weapons are active.
For firing at everything in range you'll need the Fire At Will ability.

Yeah best one can get is semi automated for those you always want to have up:

While this would require you to press a button for each ability they would be cast in a certain order when not on CD... imho the most layed back way to play STO while still not loosing too much DPS if the important abilities are used manually.

There was also a neat tool to support one building up a binding macro but i always forget the name..

Just FYI your not supposed to do that lol. Thats considered using "macros".


As a note to the OP in the options menu under controls there should be an option called Auto-Attacl Set this to "Toggle, Non-Combat Cancels" and it will keep shooting until all in-range targets are defeated. Other options also help it continue to select targets.
