| Post subject: | More flag colors for planets |
I could use at least 3 more flag colors for my planets. In an ideal world I'd have at least 12 total. New color suggestions:

Thumbs down until we can either sort by them or search them (IE, in box type yellow for yellow flags, etc) |

Well, apparently, we CAN search by flag color. Given the revelation that filenames (and apparently div CSS classes) are part of the search (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40017): Blue = "pflagged1" Red = "pflagged2" Green = "pflagged3" Purple = "pflagged4" Gold = "pflagged5" |

Exploiting poor coding has gotten people banned. Now I can't imagine anyone getting banned for this, just saying. |

Yea, it's not "exploiting" anything. Just typing characters into the text box. But, I would like to +1 the original idea. We do need more flags, and the filter should work by flag color. Would be nice to have the ability to tag planets (and search by tags), but let's not get too hasty. |

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) |

Do you know a trick you'd like to share?? 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. |

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... |
