Small PI idea

Its not a drastic thing, but it would make PI a little less messy for some of us.

I would like to be able to label or name planets in the Science and Industry tab. At least be able to make notes in a new column that show up.

When you have a lot of characters who do PI, the ability to label a planet "Toxic Metal" or even 'Mechanical parts production' would go a long way. At the moment, I find myself alt-tabbing between accounts trying to remember which planet is the one im looking for.

just a small thing like this would help out a lot. I know there are alot of things that need changing in regards to PI, but this one should be relatively small.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I use a google spreasheet and/or the in-game notepad, but a note right on the planet would be good. Or if we could set columns that list the raw material being extracted and/or the highest level product being manufactured there.

+1 very much agree. I once had 6 planets spread over. 3 systems producing a variety of goods, i bad an ingame note with what every planet did, but was still confusing as hell

I have five planets across three systems and I've got no trouble at all remembering which one does what. I'm not sure how it's confusing.

If you have three alt accounts with three characters per account managing six planets each in addition to the three characters managing six planets each on your main account, then I could see that it might be a bit difficult to keep track of.

I use three characters with 5 planets each in the same system, and some of them are the same planets doing different things on different characters. I know I have this that and the other on P7, but don't always remember who's doing what where off the top of my head.
