Would anyone else find it beneficial to have a 5th customizable power setting for space combat? I like being able to have an offensive, defensive, escape/maneuver, and auxiliary (healing/special ability) setting.
For my escort it's nice to have a full weapons, full shields, full engines, and full auxiliary setup. Each one of those settings has definite advantages. Problem is, when flying pvp I like to have a even power distribution so that I can quickly choose between fight and flight. It's roughly a 70/35/70/25 setup. The same is true with my sci vessel except I like having it as a 30/30/65/75 for cloak detection runs.
I forget where its at, but if you expand the Power Panel to the 3rd option, you can tweak the individual power levels yourself (only in increments of 5, though) for each setting, and save the setting.
You seem to have misunderstood what he was referring to. Right now there are settings for Attack, Defense, Engines, Aux and Balanced. All can be modified of course. However, what he's asking for are more setting tabs than those, for more custom settings.
theres also an optin under keybinds for space i think where you can setup hot keys so you can flip between the different modes of full weaps shields engine etc
I'f I'm correct, you can create as much pre-set values as you like with some extensive use of the GenSliderSetValue or genslidersetnotch commands.
Here we go,
/genslidersetnotch Powerlevel_Auxiliary_Slider 0$$genslidersetnotch Powerlevel_Engine_Slider 0$$genslidersetnotch Powerlevel_Shield_Slider 0.4$$genslidersetnotch Powerlevel_Weapon_Slider 1
That command send all the power to the weapons and some to the shields.
Play around with the values and add a keybind and you can switch between variious power settings more easily.

I would be fine with 5, but I think you should be able to have as many as you want.
agree that we should be able to pick the number of pre-sets we want.
Here we go,
/genslidersetnotch Powerlevel_Auxiliary_Slider 0$$genslidersetnotch Powerlevel_Engine_Slider 0$$genslidersetnotch Powerlevel_Shield_Slider 0.4$$genslidersetnotch Powerlevel_Weapon_Slider 1
