about the autofire autobrake lock mechanism.... i'm not satisfied with it for couple reasons. have some ez suggestions but ill explain why i feel the need to ask for a change.

-should include autothrust and autoturn.

autothrust.... for ie cyclops in olympus, i can auto thrust and switch clients and not worry about tractors from ai etc for one, also another situation is tractoring. i can put a ul on a drone and autothrust to move it 3k one way or the other.

autoturn... people may laugh but it's awesome for one damn good reason- If i auto brake and ALSO auto turn, if it's turning, i can be that much more assured the brake is locked. an alternative that would satisfy is maybe an icon for autobrake that lights up. it can be the difference at times of coming back 20k out or of dying in oly to ares if you mess this simple thing up. In the old system you had to press 't' and chat client would open as an indicator which was actually very convenient. atm there is no indicator to guarantee you locked orders correctly all the time.

-alt sucks for a button for locking the orders in. at least for me it involves taking my hand off the mouse and holding alt for a couple seconds or doing a really uncomfortable movement with my left hand since i AWSD control my ship. EZ fix.. make it togglable in settings>keys so i could even make it the old 't' button etc.

autofire autobrake is crucial for mcing to exist. if it goes mcing is pointless imo. this is an important feature for many who get much joy from mcing.

You don't have an Alt directly below the WASD keys?? Just thumb the alt+finger the s

Agreed, the chat should not automatically jump to new PMs. It would also be nice to save what you've written if you need to take some action in game before finishing.

That^ i hate typing a long message just to have a PM interrupt me and delete it.
