So I dont know why, I didnt add any kind of strange things, but my ship when I fire my weapons keeps ejecting warp plasma too.
I have the skill for the officer, its not highlighted or anything to be used yet after it cools down I eject plasma again.
how can I stop this?

Console with auto-triggered powers?
My other characters dont have this problem
When using fire all weapons button on the hud, my eng officer will use his eject warp plasma skill.
Using space bar does not activate this ability.
I also tried to switch out the officers then back, it had no effect.
when it is on cool down, using fire all weapons, the EWP grays out like a normal weapon would on cool down.
CD is also not consistent, when used the ability has the normal 30s but I have noticed when using a torpedo skill, its CD is about 10s, could this be some kind of connection?
AFAIK there is no way to bind abilities to the fire all weapons button, correct me if I am wrong.
I did not see any key binding to the ability in general to anything thing, I never use keybinding.
This is only effecting one character as others also use EWP, he is a Temporal operative and it is the Telerite officer that this is happening to.
Use the command that Sea posted, it should disable the bind

You are correct.
The only thing that would do this is a keybind. Please try clearing all your keybinds on that character, somewhere you got that ability bound with 'Fire All Weapons.'
If you're using one of the old school binds, those space binds typically fire everything in Tray #7. On that character. rotate your bars until you can see Tray #7 and make sure that tray is empty. My guess is that your Warp Plasma ability is sitting in Tray #7, that would cause it to activate with a space bind for 'fire all weapons.'

There are console versions of it. There is also the one set that when the shield facing is down will use a cone attack that is radiation. Is it the puffy clouds or a different kind. There are several variations. (nvm, it is confirmed to be the end boff ability.)
Are there other space binds beyond the first 3-4 rows. I need more desperately. Can I still set it to fire an entire row off? I would love to fire all of tray 7 at once.
Edit: Could it be a cross bind? I think fire all weapons can be set to a bind independently in the keybinds. Maybe it has a same or similar bind in the actually tray or something. I think the mouse can be weird with key press/click/drag. Maybe something is legitimately clicking both.
Fire all weapons keybind is above the rows with the shielding facing keybinds. It's right next to fire all phasers, fire all mines, fire all torpedoes and mines, etc.
I did the unbind all keys, re set all keys to default.
made neuromas threats and .... its still doing it, and its still only with this ship @_@
I guess I would say Dismiss the ship, reclaim it and set it back up from scratch. There is absolutely nothing I can think of outside of a key bound ability that would cause this behavior.
The other obvious solution is, stop using that Bridge Officer Power. Swap it out for something else and see if that new ability fires without your input.
Outside of those ideas, I got nothing.. sorry.
Does the ship have the full console set or just the Incremental Phase Cloaking Device, the one of the set that came with the ship? If so I wonder if something is triggering the Riker maneuver and ejecting metreon gas instead of warp plasma.
I did at one point change ships then change back, same problem so I finally just said Fk it and dismissed the officer and replaced him with a new one.
New officer has EWP in the same spot, not auto firing it with fire all weapons.
So this somehow may have something to do with the officer then?
When that happens it can cause some odd quirks to show up.
Something similar happened back before Vanity overrides came out, you'd double-click a shield with a visual effect and it'd just disappear with only using the Equip from that spot bringing it back and usable since it went to a spot you couldn't access yet.
there was nothing different in the icon for the ability at all, I tried a few times to right click on it and see if it would stop, but there was no change.
Because many of us know how to mitigate poor turn rate and use cannons on large ships with great success.
There is nothing lost by giving players the option, if it doesn't appeal to someone, they just don't use it.
This, actually i find it fun to make them turn and behave good enough
Enter ker'rat, and i gurantee you, you are unlikely to get a single target lock
PvP is such an incredibly small part of this game that it's hardly ever discussed. When someone makes reference to the capability of a ship it's always assumed that comment is directed at PvE unless specifically stated otherwise.
Either way, the topic was why Cryptic allows cannons on these ships and it's because there is no real reason not to. Offering it as an option makes it available for those that want it, and for those that don't they can simply ignore it, there is no down side.
As to how well this combination would work in PvP content, I am in the 99% of the player base that simply doesn't care.
Generally true, but there are a number of enemies in the game that snare with a proc or have active effects like tractor beams, intel powers, or like the H'urq are too fast to reliably engage with cannons. Most players don't know how to deal with them and it ends up something of a trap in that regard. And even if you do, you can be caught during a CD for the counters which hamstrings the ability to use those cannons.
And for myself, I absolutely hate the competitive engines and won't use them which limits my options to make a sluggish cannon ship work.
