I don't like really like the t buffer thing, personally. It's not fedsafe. Think about if you try that in fed and zyrain is sitting there. You'll get the "Are you nutzo!?" prompt, then enter will clear that, then you'll be sitting at the powerup Y/N prompt. While you sit there, they laugh and power up at you. In that "oh crap!" moment you hammer the macro again and again... you might get unstuck if you hit it again, enough, but by then you're probably dead.

Actually I've never (so far at least) had that leave me at the y/n prompt when zyrain is in fed, and more than a few people can attest that they were on the wrong end there. If zyrain is in the sector, then he is the first one on the firing line and the mac aborts - doesn't even hang on a ship below him - no one is attacked - also not good tho. I seldom use a mac for fed attacks since my response to activate it is slower than a script would be. Seldom though is the key word as there are situations where I will mac it. I may be missing a situation where it could hang up, but so far I've been lucky.
