For the love of all thats holy, please:

Let me resize the POCO window like any other window in the game.
Let me drag-select items in the POCO list like I can in every other inventory window in the game.
Let me multi-select Processors and set them up all at once the way one can multi-fit ships (I know its a different UI and game module)
In the Routing list, tell me to/from information for my Pn

I'll add more after downtime.

Should be posted in ideal thread, but I've never felt any issues with the current PI POCO set up, reason behind not setting up multiple processors at once will be because people would inadvertently destroy products or mess up some how then you would get tickets asking for a fix, etc.

Pandemic horde huh, enjoying your new homes I see, setting up industry and such.

No templates please.
With the last citadels and the new citadels eating PI you can make 10bil a month on P2s on 2 accounts. Don't make this too easy and take away the income for nerds that click planets

1: A 'Decommission Everything Except The Command Center' button would be nice.
2: Being able to Multi-Select industry facilities to install schematics & make routes.
3: Allow import/export to POCOs from anywhere. It makes no sense that I can sit in Jita and completely tear down and rebuild the facilities on a planet 2,000 odd light years away in Anoikis, but I can't put in an Import/Export order to the facility that's specifically there to import/export to.
4: An account wide PI window would also be very useful for re-setting ECU programs.
5: A new skill, Advanced Interplanetary Consolidation, to increase planetary colonies to a total of 11. Should have a pre-req of IPC V.

I started a similar thread on the Player Ideas forum a while back - might be worth bumping that thread with your ideas.

I said:

This isn't a "PI needs a complete rework" thread. It probably does, but complete reworks take a long time, so this post is suggestions for quick and easy things that would make PI better within the current fundamental mechanic.


  1. Make "Access Customs Office" an option from a bookmark of a Customs Office
  2. Add an option to save Extractor Head layouts (similar to how Scan Probe Layouts can be saved)
  3. Shift-Drag should move all the Extractor Heads, retaining their current layout
  4. Attempting to place a Planetary Facility too close to another one just puts it as close as possible in that direction
  5. Remove the "Expand List > Select Only Item in the drop-down list" annoyance in planet view
  6. Once selected, the build tool retains the selected build type - no more clicking for every link I want to install
  7. Power Grid and CPU appear in the status box at the top left all the time, and selecting or mouse-over on a build item gives a projection of increased grid use (same as for Ships, Citadels, etc)
  8. Add a "Filter by available inputs" option when selecting a Schematic to install
  9. Make Ice Planets less bright.

Ability to rename launchpads
Ability to rename launchpads
Ability to upgrade launchpad size so I have 1 launchpad on each planet instead of the current 3 launchpads I have on every. single. planet.
Ability to rename launchpads.
Did I mention ability to rename launchpads? The biggest headache in my Eve life is importing 12 P1s into my p4 factory planets, and having to make sure silicon goes in launchpad 3451 and not launchpad 5673 or launchpad 5883, on 12 different factory planets.
