Saftey-Catch for the Lasers...

Before, I go any further, I did do a advanced search for this topic and found not much...

I would be surprised if it hasn't been mentioned and been cleverly disguised. I did notice the Mod (OXP) that is a safety-catch for the Q-Bomb or something similar and after accidently shooting my forward laser while trying to dock a few times. I think this needs to be in the game. It so easy to brush my fingers against the "A" button...

Unless it's already a mod or OXP... Am I right?

It's already in the game and you don't even need OXPs for that. Just press "_" (underscore) and all weapons go to safety mode. Press again to unlock.

When I started Oolite, I printed out the OoliteRS.pdf (included in every vanilla game download) and worked my way through it. Jolly useful! And updated for each game download (v1.6, v1.77, v.1.91 etc).

It includes all the key-bindings.

Well there it is. I wouldn't want to forget that one in a fight though.

It would be kind of hard to forget it in offline mode during a fight. The text telling you it's offline stays in the middle of the screen until weapons are armed again.
