I can see at a glance which weapons are off but I can't see which of my many weapons are "hold fire". Adding a big red icon might be a simple and handy thing to do.
This will stop me going up against a base with my nukes on HOLD FIRE the whole time. 😦

yes, i do agree that it would be useful for the ui to have more color

this would be good as an optional setting, as quite a few pvp ships have things on hold fire deliberately
might get in the way

sacred niche

Pretty good idea, though I'd worry about the occasional person thinking it's annoying and wishing there were a way to turn the indication off (which could be problematic). Playing devil's advocate here, forgetting that hold fire is enabled is typically the player's fault, and anyone experienced enough to use firing modes on the regular will typically realise what's going on pretty quickly.

Do ppl think the red power symbol is annoying and want to turn it off? (Is that a game option now? )

I don't think people power parts off frequently enough for it to be annoying. In fact I'd say that the vast majority of the time people would power something off, setting it to hold fire fulfils the same purpose, with the added bonus of not dismissing crew.

I see. If it helps, my use case is to have my nuke crew on stand by (see screenie) but hold fire until I ID the target and decide I need the nukes to win the battle. Perhaps an edge case but I thought the power symbols is already there so might be easy to add a pause symbol. Cheers.
