Hotkey''ing Weapon groups - How?

Nomie guns are free. You just have to forcibly pry them from the cold dead hands of their previous owners. Actually, this applies to pretty much most guns.

As for hotkeying weapon groups, this is actually tricky: Anytime you undock from a base, the previous weapon group remains selected. However, all cannons will be active.

This means that if you assign group "2" to be your EMP weapons, and dock at a base, when you undock, group 2 will now be mangled and include all of your weapons. Enjoy.

Why use anti shield configs? shields go down very fast. After the shields are down the enemies start to become cautious. It takes much longer for me to destroy the hull. So I would use a 6-hull-setup

Not sure I see the point either. At first I thought distance might play a factor, fire off longer ranged weapons first... but the average difference in ranges between my weapons have always been maybe about 50 points maybe. In a split second they're within that so a full barrage works best. I agree with the point someone made about shields dropping so fast -- it really doesn't make sense to bother with shields-only weapons.
