Getting rid of shield bash

[DarkShogun417]

I already asked this question in the questions thread, but it never got answered. So here it goes.

I really, really, really don't like the shield bash. It annoys me that whenever I feint with a shield it goes to a "HAA!!!" and my guy pressing his shield forward.

Is there any way to turn it off?

I found this in the Floris forum since they have Freelancer incorporated in their mod. I don't know if this tweak is applicable to the standalone Freelancer but it's worth a look:

It worked! Thank you so much Larca, that shield bash was really annoying.

Good! Larca?, lol.

Larca did good.

Yes, this should generally work as Freelancer is getting shield bash from the same location that Floris is.  From Pre-Battle Orders & Deployment.  The current version of that code moved the "triggering method" to hold down your defense button + push a configurable "attack key" that isn't your other mouse button (the current way).  This should prevent the undesired shield bash attempts once the mod gets this updated input.
