Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Game Menu
What were you doing when the bug occurred? Step by Step detail is helpful. Can't assign the same buttons to control "Shields" and "Emergency Power Convert". - Ships without shields have Emergency Power Convert instead, so it would be expected that the same buttons can be assigned for both ship types. Now we need to assign separate buttons (if there are any left). * In detail: When trying to assign a button to: "Convert Power (Engines)", "Convert Power (Weapons)" or "Convert Power (Balanced)" this button will be unassigned from "Shields Forward/Backward/Balanced". - Buttons should not be unassigned if there is no conflict.

What do you expect to see? It should be able to assign the same buttons to different functions if there is no conflict.

  • As a workaround we can reassign buttons each time when changing between ships with/without shields, but that's far from ideal (especially when you have the HOTAS button recognition bug and need to unplug other controllers to reassign buttons).

  • I currently have them on separate buttons, but you're right, they should be able to co-exist since they will never cross.

    Because there are no shields on Imperial ships, any Republic shield button should be able to be used for the power conversion functions.
