Silly fix

Not a major problem but something I noticed while helping a n00b out - we were going over how to group weapons together and how to fire different sets of weapons when I noticed. Groupings are called 'Primary' 'Secondary' and 'Tertiary'. If you hit escape while inflight and try to change your key bindings you'll find they are keys to fire 'Primaries' 'Missiles' and 'Mines' to save a little confusion wouldn't it be a good idea (and probably minor thing) to change the bindings in the key config to the same as what the groupings are called?

I concur. This was very confusing when I was a noob.

Oh wait, I still am a noob! heh :P

This was mostly likely over looked because in 3.1 we didn't have weapon groupings, primary was laser, secondary was missiles, and tertiary was mines, it should be changed to primary\secondary\tertiary

I think the amount of triggers is excessive. In 3.1.x we had to use the number keys to switch between lasers/ions/heat seekers/rockets/swarms/l-mines/p-mines. But now you can get away with simply having one primary, one secondary, and one tertiary. Do players still switch triggers anymore now that they have full control of what ports fire? I know I don't.

Arolte I think you're right... but with larger ships it might become useful again so I'd say the feature shouldn't be removed.
