I don't auto shutdown very often but when I do it almost always powers back up when I hit P then immediately shuts down again before I can do anything else... why the hell would you put such a system in place in the first place?

Yeah, I'd rather p power up only while shut down, no queuing. It's hard to tell if your mech is actually powering up, especially with lag, so I spam the p key until I'm sure it has registered. Then I end up shutting down again... If we can't make p power the mech down when active and power the mech up when shut down then at least have some indication of what the mech is doing. A voice notification or HUD indicator.

If you powered down by heat, you should not press P at all. Because your Mech will power up again automatically as soon as the hear is low enough to just not power down again immediately.
Which means, if you shutdown by heat, and power up too early, you will shutdown again immediately because of still too much heat and not because of having P pressed a second time. It is not queueing's fault.

Agreed.... the mech should'nt respond to a powerup/down command again until the preveious one completes... no complex timeouts, no queuing that leave you powering up and down 6 times....

Dont overthing probems Devs... I have enough of that in my own company with the engineers here ;-)
