Can this be done with modding?

Hiya, I was wondering if these two things could be done via modding:

A digital readout for pitch and heading, and an 'off' mode for the weapons to disable all firing.

Hi Ragarth, welcome to the game and forum!.....Hope to see you out there some time!.....

I'm not sure that this can be done, I do not think so! But others might have some Idea of how to do it!

Well you can pretty much mod anything you can think of. The question is can you do it client side, and if you can, how exactly.I think the digital readouts could be done fairly easily by a .dat textfile, just like you can get your sector and in-sector coordinates to show up on your HUD. About deactivating the weapons I have no idea. But just a thought: After the last update, the Alt key disables weapons fire for as long as you hold it, so if you could find a way to toggle this for example, and then assign a different key to it, you would basically have what you want.
I don't recall either option being mentioned in the Customizing Kit readme by the way.

I haven't really spend a lot of time modding EM so I'm not too familiar with the game mechanics. Someone who would invest a bit more time into it will probably be able to tell you how it's done. That is, if you can do it client side.
