Six Weapon Groups: Why is it Maximum?

[Connor]

maybe because there's no need for more? i mean most players uses 1-3 weapons groups depending on ship type..

could you atleast give an example of why you need a 7th group for weapons,or..more??

Primaries
Primaries + Cerbs
Cerbs
Primaries + 1 Secondary
Secondaries
Blank Group
Forward Gun
Missiles
Pulse

For a Valor with 1 FG, 3 Flaks, 3 Cerbs, 1 Missile, All secondaries and 1/2 Pulse(s). That's 9 groups you could ave and you would get around to using all groups in a single fight on a heavy Battleship like the Valor or something like the Hessian BS. Minus the FG and you have 8 groups and then you could easily have a group for Flaks if your "Fire Missile" button isn't mapped which brings it back up to 9. You could even have one for CMs for when you're in cruise.

And then if you don't have Cerbs you can put Razors, Missiles and Mortars on which would need even more groups. Also you could have another group to chainfire weapons.

I would love to see more weapon groups implemented. 8 would be perfect.
