I've been at least toying with the idea of getting Voice Attack, though my neighbors would probably think I'm even stranger than they already do (not like this apartment is sound proof), and I realized the only thing I really want it for is power distribution, since I think it's quite impossible to have it run scans on planets while I go about my business in supercruise.
As I'm poking around, it seems like most of the commands that people use to divert power a certain way just send a macro with a serious of arrow button presses. It seems to me that this won't work well if you aren't always starting from the exact same power configuration.
Is there a way to map a button to instantly set 2 pips to SYS and 4 to WEP, or 2 to SYS and 4 to ENG?, rather than cycling through as one would do on the keypad? Or does one just have to add in a ton of extra button presses to force the issue in a macro?
Whether I get voice attack or not, this would be useful, as I have plenty of buttons to map such a function to.
