Why No Autofire ?

On the PS4, when you fire your ship's phasers, they keep firing. You don't have to keep spamming the button. Is there anything on pc that lets you do this ? It's incredibly annoying to have to constantly press the button.

    You can right click on ship weapons to set them on autofire, I keep my weapons on autofire so I don't have worry about them. Your weapons will have a green border on them if you've set them on Autofire, oh and you can do that for Hangar pets too.

    Okay. I managed to do that. But when I'm on the ground, that doesn't work. Well, it kind of works. I like to use the firing mode that gives you the little aiming sight on the screen. But when you do that, you're not able to right click anything. Oh, well.

    Yeah shooter mode doesn't really work well for that, they expect you to be using the more precise control of the weapon. Works okay in RPG mode though, except for my biggest autofire on ground issue: that you can really only set your Primary or Secondary shot, never both, or it'll just never do anything.

    That said, lately I've been turning autofire back off on ground. Mostly during Melee for ease of combat and control, but also for more precise timing of Kit activation. Fortunately it's easy enough to turn on and off.
