Summary0014531: Give player ability to create power configuration presets
DescriptionI find myself often changing my ship's power settings repeatedly to a few different settings, and it would be great if I had buttons to easily configure power to predefined settings.

Example:

Weapons 8, Shield 3, Engine 1
Weapons 1, Shield 3, Engine 8
Weapons 3, Shield 8, Engine 1
Weapons 4, Shield 4, Engine 4

I've attached a screenshot mock up of a system whereby the player is given four on screen buttons which they can assign power configurations to (ctrl-click) and switch to by clicking on them.

Preferably these configurations would persist over the entire campaign.

TagsNo tags attached.

Love this, and would love to see this in the game, since it will make combat more efficient.

I see no problem if they were lines on top of each other horizontally either on the left side as a side bar.

Heck, I'd even be fine with a simple "A", "B", "C" button below the normal bars. It's not like I can't recall the power setting then go "oops wrong one" and click the other, since you're doing this in a paused time.

I do REALLY like the lines thing in the mockup though!

I agree with all of this. It would be great to focus on gameplay, and not on resetting those ship configurations incessantly.
