Howdy

my quick slot is starting to get a little crowded and was wondering, if I select a weapon say a dual heavy cannon for auto fire then remove it from the quick slot but still have another of the same type autofiring still on my quick slot will the removed one still keep firing aswell.

Reason I ask is my bottom bar is my weapons bar and current have 3 Dual Heavy Cannons, 2 Phaser Turrets and 2 Torpedo Launchers

3 DHC's up front/ 1 QTL up front and 2 PT's and 1 Torpedo Mine Launcher in the rear
I have them set up on my N52 TE so I easily know which ones are front and back. I have 2 of the DHC's on auto fire as well as both Turrets.

    What I do is put them on autofire and use the space bar to start shooting automatically. I only leave torpedoes in my quick slots.

    there's not really much point in having any of your weapons taking up space in your power bar, Weapon powers have a dedicated window, which will display all of your weapons.

    All weapons that are set to autofire will autofire, regardless of if they're visible or not. This is also true for powers that are set to one of the row with hotkeys. For me, row 4 is hotkeyed to Shift+#, so even if I hide it, the power still activates if I put something in there. This also means you can keep your tray invisible, if you've memorized where all your powers are.

    I keep my two torpedoes visible on my hotbar so I can see when they're loaded. All other weapons are set to autofire upon installation and removed from the hotbar.

    Since you are running out of bridge officer slots, if you are in a fleet, you can ask one of your fleet mates to hold the extra bridge officer for you if they have room.

    Also, you can have friends train your officers in some of the higher rank skills by trading them and having the friend trade them back.

    I put my phaser beam arrays on autofire, and keep my quick slots for powers only - I don't seem to mind firing torpedoes with Alt-Space or the mouse myself.

    Of course, I do have to be very careful with auto-fire and Beam Fire at Will (especially in ISE), so that I don't accidentally pop a generator with my death blossom :P
