You can exit the grouping mode at any time by clicking the arrow menu again. Modules that cannot be grouped disappear when entering this mode or appear grayed out if they are not of the same type as the selected weapon. There are certain restrictions to this which are covered in more detail later in this blog. Grouping weapons is done through a new option available in the small white arrow menu located below the ship management panel.ĭragging and dropping modules on top of each other will create a weapon group. Currently, each gun is displayed and controlled individually. This is how the current weapon management panel works. Please note this is still a work in progress and as such they may not entirely reflect what is going to reach TQ. Setting up the group will be done through a single right-click menu and activation will be toggled by a shortcut or button.īelow are some in-game pictures to illustrate the above. With this shiny new system you will be able to group your ship’s guns/launchers together into one entity. However since we all know how sloppy Minmatar engineering habits can be, let us explain the core concept in more details. So what does this feature consist of? A Minmatar engineer would probably sum it up this way: grab some duct tape, apply it to your ship’s weapons, tie them all straight together, add a big funnel at the extremity and you are good to go. So instead I was assigned to take care of weapon management and grouping, which was enough work to keep me away from medical tools for a while. However not everybody seems to agree with that since I was told to “optimize” something else and never touch a syringe again (I am a misunderstood genius). That would be a good optimization of the workflow, since we could skip lunch break and gain overall efficiency in the process. Technically applied to a Dev breakfast, it would imply filling a mixer with bread, meat, salad, coffee plus various other possibly out of date consumables and directly inject the output to our veins through a syringe. ![]() Technically it means “the procedure or procedures used to make a system or design as effective or functional as possible”. Optimization is such a wonderful concept.
