Like the title says, is there an oppurtunity to give us a hand brake for our ships? Not one that freezes your ship where it is, but one that sets the ship's nav-system to *Stopping Ship*. Double-clicking to move is a nice idea but very often counterproductive if you just try to drag a window around and find yourself 15km further by the time you notice your own unintended movement.

To name the basic uses
- Don't move if you don't intend to.
--- Like when you're anchoring POS mods.
--- Like when you're in a pve site and try to drag and drop drones
--- Like when you want to go afk in a POS and don't want to check every minute if something somehow eventually might have caused a doubleclick (literally see so many people floating out of their POS (hue 3bil navy raven, a naglfar, a freighter to name a few...), and I don't think anyone actually had the plan of leaving the POS.

This is an amazing idea. +1 for FULLSTOP button.

Or you could do the truly radical thing and actually pay attention to what you and your ship are doing.

You guys know about Cntrl+Space?

It is the hotkey for [Set speed to 0]

Am I missing something or isn't this what you're asking for?

No, he's looking for "ship speed stays 0 no matter how much I double-click in space", because he interacts with various windows and sometimes he mis-clicks.

Hand-brake in a car: you can put the car in gear and try to go, but the hand brake keeps the wheels locked so you can't go even if you push the gas pedal.

Ah I see.

Sure why not, no reason not to have a "Lock speed to 0" toggle option. Doesn't change anything in game, hurts no one, and gives us more control over our ship.
