Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Okay here are some ease of life UI changes you could make to PI to make it less awful.

Save Layout:
This would not save any ISK since you will have to pay for structures if you choose to deploy a layout, but you should be able to save a building configuration. So if i set up an 13 structures and link them all I should be able to save so i can redeploy it (for the cost of structures) or copy it for other planets.

Drag Link
If i click and hold the mouse on structure A and drag it to Structure B it should just make a connection.

Multi-link.
if I SHIFT + Clickhold and drag over multiple buildings it should link them all in succession.

Multiple Select
I should be able to area select factories and configure them all at once. Shift select as well.

Default Settings
Factories and extractors should be defaulted to "Draw/Deposit materials to/from nearest available connected container" It could still easily pre-calculate connections and lt you know if there is a default overload. You can manually override this if needed.

"Planetary Colonies window"
Right click should have "Abandon Colony" option

Shift Click should open poco window instantly

W + click should warp you to the poco at default range.

Finally you should give me a 20% bonus to Extraction for all the awesome recommendation :D no? well it was worth a try.

+1

Taxes, planetary infrastructure, risk in collecting resources (in most of the game where its worth doing PI) pocos. . . its not free isk, and the isk it makes is from other players so its not introducing new isk into the economy.

Besides none of this changes the function of PI in the market, it only effects the so called "clickfest" which is not an intentional "feature" intended to slow people down I can assure you.

Been asked for a trillion times before.

Mine are free ISK. Why can't other people share in that?

Buffing Reaver Glitterstim is nerfing everyone else. Let's becareful to avoid this sort of unwanted power creep. I support PI templates because it prevents people like Reaver Glitterstim from getting an easy advantage in PI.
