Weapons output logic signal when firing

[Mariux]

Just a small quick suggestion. Weapon modules could output logic signal when firing. Sorry for it being so short, there's not much else to say.

Although often suggested, I always +1 these in hope :D

It would be nice, but would have the same effect as letting you put activation modules on the hotbar. Without some changes to mechanics (specifically removal of the energy consumption multiplier: (1 + number of groups * 0.1) ) that would be OP.

Only problem: If you want to link 2 weapon computers together so one fires the other thanks to the logic, how does one add the slave system?

That's a bit of a problem, but I'm sure there's a way to overcome it. Maybe make weapon computers that are slaves of other weapon computers unlinkable with logic?
@Commodore It might require some changes to weapon energy consumption formula.

And how does one determine if a computer is a slave or linked to logic? (Workaround: put an activation module between the 2)

You got a point. I'm sure there is a way around though.
