Well here goes:

Most high ranks purge their planets weekly.. and some of them purge 300-600 planets or more.. ( always low on EM )

Would be nice to purge planets in volume lets say 50 at a time and since we can flag our scanned planets there should not be an accident where u purged a good planet from ur scan.

Dan could you consider this add on to the game please..

I don't see this as very effective in saving time or effort. Unless you want the RNG to decide which planets get purged, and I think we can all agree how bed THAT would be, you would still have to manually differentiate between purge and keep planets.

In addition, we must be cautious with any mass anything buttons. As long as we're online, even just doing tedious tasks like purging planets, we're ACTIVE and might take part in other activities.

I knew u say that...

Like i said as long as u have flagged ur planets that u want to keep the rest can be mass purged.. whats wrong with that..

Well isn't that manually differentiating? Whether you spend the time doing it 3 days before you purge or do it right before you purge, you're still doing it (spending time and effort). And unless you have enough purgers to do the whole lot at once (which isn't your suggestion anyway) how does the system know where to start? By Name? By Type? By Size? By Resource? Random?

I tend to purge my planets daily so the task doesn't build up very much. But I have been known to save purgers for a few days and do one big purge. I can do 200 planets per minute easily with the quick box. I honestly don't see any way (or reason for that matter) to reduce the purge time any further.

Also, think about this. When you purge a planet now, you send a command to the server to do one little thing. With a mass-purge button, you'd be sending a command to do one big thing (or a LOT of little things, however you want to look at it) which will inevitably throw you into limbo while your action is processed. I thought we all hated lag? Nope, let's add some more.

Fair enough.. we all hate lag.. I see ur point...

This was a bad idea over all since u pointed in that direction..

I just thought why not do a mass purge of planets since we can flag our planets that we want to keep, if u have a lot purgers in hand .. except for our flagged planets the system can not auto purged them cause they are flagged..

Anyways..
