I think we NEED a button, that let's you choose to upgrade all the attack modules on your planets to a certain level, and it presents the cost of it, so we can upgrade are defenses easier without forgetting about one and loosing it. |

How would it figure how much you want on the planet? How would it upgrade if there is no more room? What modules does it switch around or get rid of? What if you only have enough for half or a third or a quarter of your planets? What types will it use, will it always upgrade to the absolute best? What if you have a planet you don't have production on, will it just completely fill it up? Will it show you what planets are getting what (that would be a huge list)? Sorry, -1 ... it's really not that hard to go through and click on your planets and make sure they're all in order, this is just a laziness option |

how about a button next to each structure to upgrade it as well as destroy it ? |

So as long as there is a way to find all sub-par ones, it can multiply that number by the cost of one module and upon accepting, deduct cost and replace all sub-par with the chosen one.... If insuficcent, it will just say not enough on a warning thing as if u r building one, and u will have to manual it. I don't really need this myself so I'm neutral, but ur counter argument isn't all that swell |

upgrading from 2nd best to best is a very large chunk of minerals and credits... ....i would not want an "upgrade everything on all my planets" button ....i might be interested in a set of "upgrade all ______ on this one specific planet" buttons ....an upgrade button next to demolish for each individual structure would be good too, as long as it considers whether we have storage space for all the minerals required and tells us what's going to happen |

I don't really need this myself so I'm neutral, but ur counter argument isn't all that swell In terms of researched, yes all the same size. However, all planets have different room available. You really want a massive amount of coding that goes through literally a couple hundred planets and individually scans and detects how many researched attack and defense structures there are, how many of each, how many minerals and how many credits it takes to build ... for each and every single one? That would lag your computer as well as the server ... definitely not a good thing for anybody. And what if you want all defense structures now? Or a different proportion of attack and defense planets? There's more coding. I'm not sure why you think the counter argument isn't all that swell when my counter argument is calling this suggestion a "play my game for me" mechanic ... |

it would be a simple SQL query... not sure exactly how Dan has his tables structured, but to select all the buildings of a certain type on all of an owner's planets... it'd be something like this SELECT buildings.buildingID, buildings.buildingtype, planets.ownerID FROM planets INNER JOIN buildings ON planets.planetID = buildings.planetID WHERE (((buildings.buildingtype)=buildingtype1 Or (buildings.buildingtype)=buildingtype2) AND ((planets.ownerID)=playerID)); (note: chances extremely good that those table and field names aren't correct.... i just typed up something for a general example) while it could be easily done... i'd still rather have it per individual planet.... i don't want to waste much money on the lower end planets.... and when you get to the top level strucutres... you're talking about many many billions of credits and lots of aidonium..... it'd probably have to be done one or two at a time anyway.... maybe one or two planets at a time, tops and as for swapping between atk and def structures... good point... but i'd doubt an upgrade from one level's atk structures to another level's def structures would be possible anyway.... there's lots more atk strucutres than def structures for one... and on a logical note, different function should mean a complete rebuild.... yet another reason the upgrade button should be on an individual basis or a planet-wide basis,... not an owner-wide basis |

So maybe each planet you go into, it could let you click Upgrade all defenses to "name of level", and a separate button for attack just like that. and/or just a simple "Upgrade" button by the demolish part of attack and defense structures. |

This part wouldn't be bad. You still have to click on your planets, it doesn't do it for you, but it takes 3 clicks (demolish, build, specific building) down to 1 click (but still costing the exact same amount of materials). +1, also makes sense, when you upgrade structures, you upgrade them, you wouldn't blow the snot out of them and then say "Alrighty, get 'yer two by fours! We're pullin' an all nighter!" Edit: Could even be added for the production structures, same concept ... 3 clicks -> 1 click, same amount of materials |

Perhaps, when I went to hit Submit on the post saying it was 3 clicks, if Dan had put in an "Are you sure?" Button, this would have never happened!! Thanks Darth ![]() |

+1 EDIT guess i should clarify... +1 in the modified version discussed up to this point |
