Snac

[deaxy]

Sorry, I have been gone for a while, and I have forgotten a couple of things!
How do you bind the SNAC to a key? Because when I choose E as launch torpedos [snac is kind of a torpedo right?] nothing happens!
Please help!

The SNAC isn't a torpedo, it's a gun.

You have to assign it it's own weapon group.

SNACs count as guns. Use weapon-grouping, and then bind that group to a specific key.

There's two ways, weapons grouping or pressing the corresponding number (0-9) provided you still have your number keys set to fire your weapons.

Weapon groups are the more effective way of doing things since the SNAC is usually located on 7 or 8.

I used a game profile editor for my gaming mouse and I use the wheel button as my SNAC trigger. Works magnificiantly.

Oooh. DO WANT.

Which line should I be adding to which file, if you know?

Well basicly I tied the number pad 3 to my mouse wheel for FL game profile (my mouse software can hold many pre-made profiles).
I actually have 8 buttons on my mouse but for the sake of bombers I also attach the numberpad 2 to a thumbutton.
Then with the in-game options I use numberpad Ctrl+3 as an assign weapon group for numberpad 3 and I have numberpad Ctrl+2 to assign a weapon group to numberpad 2.
I then set fire weapon group numberpad 3 and numberpad 2. Now this makes it so that I can use Ctrl+Num3 to set a weapon group to my wheelbutton(Num3) and my thumbutton(Num2).
When I go in-game I then assign the SNAC with Ctrl+3 and my CDs with Ctrl+2.
Now from that point one I only keep my standard guns active and the rest "off".
My standard guns will pound away while holdinh right-click, each tim I click whell it fires SNAC and each time I click my thumb I fire a CD all without changing any weapon groups in the middle of the fight or having to press anything but mouse buttons.

It's a Logitech gaming mouse I bought sometime back before I even began with others in creating GMG|. It's been the key to my ability to manage weapon groups and apply them with minimal effort.

edit add: edited the buttons used, as you can imagine I have series of setups depending on ship

I've recently bought a Sidewinder X3. Beautiful mouse, two side buttons and DPI toggles. I can go from being the dodgy liberator-of-doom to SNAC-sniper of the year at one click.

I normally assign mousewheel click to SNAC also, side buttons get CD/Nova.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

Nooooooo.

Razer Mamba. I have one, and it kicks Micro$haft Sidewinder ass.

It gets real interesting with the Rh BS I use and the necessity of chain firing mixed with weapon groups. I've actually got all mouse buttons used up and had to include the ~/` key at the top left corner of keyboard just above the thrustering Tab key.
