Please allow users to move more then 5 bookmarks at a time from the bookmark list to the players items bay/ cargo hold.

I find myself moving 5 bookmarks at a time and trading them a hassle not only because of the 5 bookmark limit but because they move slowly "considerable trade lag" between bins and hands.

Please "o/" if you agree


Thank You

Who needs to trade more than 5 bookmarks constantly? xD I have a bookmark to the center of the sun in one system but like, it never bothered me waiting an extra few seconds or so moving it around and trading it. Sure, one thing that would be nice is stacking multiple of the same bookmark and when you shift drag it to cargo, have the option to place a certain amount of it down instead of one at a time.

Yes it is a small fix but I think its needed.

For example I make a new scouting alt on a second account every few months so it limits the associativity with my main. I trade all of my bookmarks from the old noob alt to the new noob alt. This takes 4 to 5 minutes because of the 5 bookmark move mechanic.

I guess they can also implement account wide bookmarks???

There is a very real reason why there is now a 5 bookmark limit when it used to be unlimited, and you mentioned it yourself. You nitice that lag spike? Yeah. Now multiply that by 20 when you're copying 100 of them at once. Now multiply that by 500 or so people doing it at once.

You get the picture, I'm sure. tl;dr They make it 5 max for a reason. No reason to change it and add to the lag again.

EDIT: They did add in corporate bookmarks, and that was pure awesome. Maybe use those?

If bookmarks were still stored on people's machines, this would be instant switching but that priviledge got abused by the players. People editing a bookmark to type in manual XYZs and warping outside the system and such.
