Some things i think could change a little.

1: Basic production units should only display products it can make on the planet it is installed on ( this to do away with having to scroll down or up, just to find the product you wish to make ).

2: We need a hotkey ( something like shift or alt or something ) that we can press and hold, while you are putting down units.
For example, if you want to build 5 factories or more, you click the factory you want, hold shift and place it and you can immediately place the next one, without having to select the factory again.

3: Level 5 command center upgrades, should give a higher bonus to cpu and power, right now, training the skill to 5 is just not worth it.

4: Launchpads should have the same size as storage units ( 12000 m3 ), it is quite an annoyance to have to wait 6 ish hours, before you can do the next 2000 m3 expedited transport, just because you can't do it all at once.

5. I would like a programmed expedited transport, some way to setup expedited transport at a set time for a set amount.
( move x amount of product y to storage unit z at HH:MM time ).

Feel free to add to or comment, but i think these aren't really to much to ask for.

With the exception of 4, i do not see why not really.
Even 4 is not that much to ask for, but surely the other ones are not that hard to code for and would provide more ease of use.

And improvement to the ui is good in my book.

Really, nothing but 1 response.....
These ideas aren't that far fetched are they?
You guys don't do PI or anything?

I would like programmed guns on my ship that fire at all ships from any distance killing them instantly. Win butans are not allowed in EVE, look elsewhere.

You sir..... have no f'ing clue how PI works do you?

Also, just because one of the points made isn't considered valid by someone, doesn't mean they all are.
How bout some input on the rest?

1) I really like this improvement to the UI.

2) This one is a nice feature, too.

4) When PI started it was like this - same capacity - and no one used silos, we just used more LP's.

5) This was to provide the possibilities for more chances for PvP, by forcing us to spend more time in space.

5a) I am going to add - Allow the pickup and drop off of courier contracts at the POCO's.

for the most part yes to all. 4 is meh to me, i think its working as intended. i personally use multiple launch pads still for convenience.

Gdamn, yes, that is actually a good addition you made there.

Also,More PvP chances not so much, since you can do things like expedited transfer from station, as in, you don't have to be in space and at the poco for it.

Folks do sometimes want to use planets as pure factories, processing ores from other planet types (though personally, I would always refine to the P1 before moving it off world)

That's a true statement, perhaps a checkbox that says ""Only show available productions" or something.
