*very* nice ! added to the search filter wiki page:

i am okay with the number of colours. i can do what i want within the 5 (see listing below). there are some planets however, that i am unable to flag due to the flag popup appearing too far down the planet actions tab, moving the 'add flag' button beneath the scrollable view of the tab. if THAT was fixed somehow, that would be fab.

my current usage:

d1: blue flagged - purgeable enemy planets ... flagged gas planets already considered for Xathe legion mission

d2: red flagged - crappy enemy planets used for legion missions

d3: green flagged - enemy planets on my to.be.conquered list

d4: purple flagged - unoccupied and enemy planets to be alerted to my legion mates

d5: gold flagged - owned project planets and unoccupied potential project planets

what other situations do other people need more flags for ?

You beat me to it, I just tried the d1, d2, etc

Just a question about the "flagged gas planets already considered for Xathe legion mission", why??? I thought they had to be used on ones scanned in last 5 minutes?? Do you know a trick you'd like to share??

d# isn't enough, still get a bunch of other planets, ged# is the smallest text to get only flags.

I use:

Green = Project planet
Blue = Planet awaiting extract/abandonment
Purple = Planet that I would cry if I lost (aka, flux probe daily)
Red = Invasion candidate (if enemy owned), Bricked awaiting flux orb (if I own)
Gold = Planet that is defended/cloaked (flux probe every so often if I'm bored)

filter on recently scanned ... gas
- as you scan planets ... you flag the ones you already used the xathe arti on to get them out of the recently scanned list ... any new blue gas planets that show up can be used for another Xathe arti ... rinse ... repeat

so since most gas planets are gonna get purged anyway .. i use the blue flag for any planets that will be purged and keep the filter as clear as possible so i make the best of my scan artis. i had previously blue.flagged EVERY planet that i would be purging ... but now it is just easier to blue.flag the enemy ones. any blue.flagged gas planets just fit right in to the purge routine.

only picks up additional irradiateds for me ... and i only have 1 so far so it is not too distracting.

My usages is completely different

Blue Flag: Project planet

Reg Flag: Enemy planet worth taking

Green Flag: Completed project IE a planet i want to keep.

Purple Flag: Needs temp fluxing

Gold flag: Alert to legion

Personally this system works for me and while I could probably find a use for more by no means do I need them.

I usually just purge them right when I use the Xathe artifact.

I suggest Mauve so I could use it on my Mauvelous planets...

don't judge me.

if we're going for variety, why not try something a little different?

Instead of flags, add some icons in:

skulls, keys, letters whatever someone can think of that would have a rational connection to the planets (i'm feeling fried at the moment but felt like weighing in, sorry).

icons could be more useful if the connection was obvious so you don't have to think re your color coding...

e.g. a monetary sign of some sort - connection >hi production planet or warehouse planet

hell make it a mission while you're at it if you want though i'd say a low to mid level one.

As opposed to more colors...
can we have flags of different shape? I'm color weak.... I'd guess there are other color weak or even color blinds floating around somewhere.... w/o considering search functions(which is quite awkward), it's rather difficult to distinguish some flags...

+1 to that.

also, any chance of being able to flag enemy ships ? i would LOVE to be able to flag the un.halc'd 4.hit disable targets
