Hey folks,

While doing plexes in null I thought it might be nice to have an option for missiles that you could set how many missiles you want to fire. Lets say you know that rat X needs 10 missiles to explode and you have 10 such rats in plex...so you set it to 10 and then there is no waste or you can check your other toon that is mining and so forth.
There would be lets say 5 possible presets for different rats in anomaly, plex what have you and presets for how many repetitions.

If you click on module by default it would fire non stop, but if you lets say left click, select the preset then it would fire specified amount of missiles.

Sugestions and comments welcome.

take care,
NS

Funny thing is...there IS a way to do this! Either load 10 rounds into the launcher or turn off the launcher after it fires 10 rounds. Cool huh?

You do know that reloading takes 10 sec, right? This wouldn't have any delay.
Turning off is what am doing (we all are) but this mechanic would make things easier, at least sometimes.

Micromanagement isn't always a good thing.

The UI and controls are cluttered and confusing enough without adding more options stuffed into every corner.

So you want more scripts in an already cluttered interface? Lets leave the system the way it is.... and maybe force you to pay attention?

This is not at all about not paying attention. Its more like micro management as Katrina said before.
Some of us just like to do that. But I guess am the only one in the whole EVE universe....What?

If you left-click on the active launcher, it will deactivate it. Do this after ten missiles have been launched.

Hope this helps!

Yes. Most of us are actually paying some attention when our ship is in combat, and paying attention to ammo.

Just switch to lasers. Best weapon in the game :)

Lets just call the wasted ammo an ISK sink and move on with our day. Shall we?

Something like this, I believe. It appears to be an unreliable concept, however.

A bit of an overkill suggestion for something that would require just some simple changes to the way you run your plexes.

Split your launchers, set auto-repeat off and F1-F* to your hearts content if you are that concerned about wasting some missiles.
