This is a good idea, possibly.

My only concern is, we seem to be 'dumbing down' the game so much.  Essentially reducing the skill cap.  I mean, anyone can be called a good attacker these days, it's a bit silly.  Before, it meant a lot to be able to 'handle figs', or be competent with fleet.

Imo, everyone should be enabled to do things in IC to a certain extent fairly easily.  However, there should still be room for exceptional (both skill and experience wise) ppl to excel as well.

Not sure what others' take on this is.

Also, I comment as a player - not as a dev.

i think you make a good point there Torqez

THe thing is its only bombers figs trans sold droids - 5 things. so why do you need a toggle button for each.

What I would like is to be able to enter mass co-ords and choose a pre defined number of units to be sent.

For example - I have 55 fleets I need to take off my attacker - I put those co-ords in an entry. Following the entry I have the normal select fleets. I do it once it goes to 55 planets.

same thing for raiding. Spending 2 hours sending raid fleets is pointless, I don't even help retake or take planets in wars because It takes to much time to do.

Than you're a bad, lazy player

rarely do people "send all" of 1 specific unit unless its figs or bombers. this doesn't reduce the attackers ability in any way.

this idea is good no matter what you say about suposed skills in losing 1 hour of your life sending raid fleets ...

but if you want to make things right definatly, it requires a lot of job

it requires buttons in any unit type, buttons for:  1 unit, 10 units, 100 units, 1k units, 10k units, 100k units

and you would click this buttons to add units to your attaking fleet, and you always keep the option to input the numbers (like we do now).  Even with this 'improved' way to select your attaking fleet, you gotta need a "send all" button of each type, appart from the "send everything".

So the idea is good, tho not complete.  The complete idea is what the amazing Render is telling you all.

A.E -> to send basic fleets (1 transport 2 droisd) you need only 2 tics in the droids' button (because transports should be settled at 1 by default, learn that!).  In this case of typical fleet type, there should be enabled a button called "basic fleet" and then a popup bozz to input coords, so banker's life can be easy when they're taking a lot of planets from an infra jump. Also these basic fleets would be allowed only for soldiers, if you wanted to send droids you'd have to do it manually.

A.E -> the number of transports goes authomathically attached to the number of ground you added, so if you click the button of 100k droids, then the number of transports is authomatically set at 1000, you can modify it by typing in the bozz or add more transports using their belonging buttons for transports. The stupid message "you need more transports to send that amount of ground!"  will never ever again be of any need (I hate it"!) so the game can finally act like a game's suposed and not laugh at your intelligence anymore

A.E -> for a fig run now you just have to click the "send all" button belonging to figs unit type (1 click instead of selecting everything and then deleting the others)

I only see good things using the buttons system, now bow at me, all of you!!
