Alright, so I pretty sure this has been asked a million times, but I'm not even really sure what to call the thing I might be asking for help on, so searches haven't gotten me anywhere. Basically I've too many things, uh, skills (?), to have them all in my main tray in addition to all my weapons. I'd like to have only my other skills in the first row of my main tray without any of the weapons there, seeing as how all the weapons are in the weapon's tray anyways. Now I know how to re-arrange the skills in the tray, but I can't clear out a space in it all together. It'd be nice if I could have the first row be just shield buff stuff, the next be devices, and the third be other operations, and then whatever for the rest. Now maybe the game is programed to fill the spaces consecutively and so I can't have empty spaces like I'd like, and if that's the case, I'm alright with that. My BIGGEST issue though, is that I'd like to set up my skill hotkeys(?) so that the first weapon in my WEAPON'S TRAY is the number 1 key on my keyboard. The second weapon is number 2, and so on. I'm used to controlling my ship's movements with my mouse while controlling it's speed and weapons with my other hand and the number keys. I'd like to be able to push "1" and then fire something, and then just click on the "rotate shield frequency" icon to use that. ...Is any of this making sense?
ok roll back a step or two and what type of bindings would you like to help free up the room also what is your gaming setup?
best advice i can give is:
1. take off all your phasers off the tray for space and set your tray to option 3 so you have 3 rows.
2. leave only the torps on the tray and place them any slot you want to use to fire them so when sheilds on your target are down you can hit the hull for best damage.
3. use the following bind to fire all your phasers and distribute sheild power to all facings whilst in combat with the space bar:
/bind space "GenSendMessage HUD_Root FirePhasers $$ +power_exec Distribute_Shields"
4. personally i have my ship throttle set on my wheel on my mouse and gen turning on my edsf keys when using a standard layout but the bind i use is:
to increase: /bind key "throttleadjust .05"
to decrease: /bind key "throttleadjust -.05"
press P to access all your avaliable powers and drag them to where you like them to be so your most effective in using them on your tray.
*to type in and apply binds type them into your chat box starting with /bind and press enter. key = the key you want to apply the bind to ie. q, e etc.
I want to be able to push the "1" key and have my ship fire my first forward phasers. I want "2" to be me second phasers, 3 to be torpedoes, and 4 to be my other torpedoes. Then on my main tray, I want to have the icons for all my other stuff I use, like rotate shield frequency and distribute shield power, so I can just click them with my cursor.
Please tell me how to do that. Also if anyone has any tips on a more effective way to organize my ship...things, please let me know.
