You can also set up fire groups. That means that you might have one set for your [[Weapons#Thermal weapons|thermal]] (lasers) weapons to take down shields and one set for [[Weapons#Kinetic Weapons|kinetic]] (cannon) weapons to destroy the hull. More common is to have a set for each role such as exploring ([[Discovery Scanner]] / [[Detailed Surface Scanner]]), bounty-hunting / piracy ([[Kill Warrant Scanner]] / [[Cargo Scanner]]) and combat (weapons), etc. This is more important when looking at mining, where you might have a set of combat weapons and mining lasers, each on its own group.
