I don't like how it overrides point defense settings though (sets it to "none". You can give it another setting without unticking autofire and it seems to work... until autofire engages a ship for the first time).

(Well, my approach to combat is somewhat magical here. I assign fire controls some guns, assign ECM to fire controls, assign point defense, click active on, click open fire, click raise shields, check "auto fire", etc, to make very sure things are going to be firing.)
