    I'm pretty sure this has been suggested before but with all the new rail features we need this even more. One of my smaller ships already uses up all 10 slots available, 4 weapons, radar jammer, ion defense, one rail docker, one inner ship remote, jump drive, scanner. With more logic and potentially lots of dockers (USD) 10 slots will not be enough for ships moving forward so we will need some way to assign actions to different hot-bars and a method to switch between them.

    An expandable or seperate hotbar would aid greatly with my newer ships. At the moment I have to try and restrict the systems in my ships to fit in the hotbar, this would fix it. +1.

    We need a user-friendly way to switch between them easily as well.

    Maybe we can split it up by category, have 1 bar for weapon and effect computers (for defensive), another bar for utilities such as scan/cloak/jd and support tools like salvage, and a third for logic remotes and rail dockers.

    It would definitely help with the issue I had this morning, trying to rail dock to a spot on my planet's runway and I accidentally hit my missile computer and macross missile massacre'd half my base into oblivion.

    If they leave it generic, you can use your bars for whatever you like, I can use mine as I like, and everyone else can use theirs as they like. Why are there so many people around here who like to overcomplicate things?

    i think just having more all general purpose hotbars (that way it can be what you want) is brilliant!! :)
