Need to simplify planet scanning; I should be able to click on the planet's name I just scanned to see if it's a planet type I'm looking for for a LM or whatever; and then be able to keep scanning; Not having drop out of a crappy pop-up screen to click on the planet scanning button again, And wait for it to reload......seriously
And if that's not feasible, then you need to extend the BS 5 minute timer for 'recently scanned'; If it's not gonna be the same timeframe every time, it needs to be posted in the LM listing, Not just the long winded wiki

For LMs, such as the requirement for either tiny or very tiny planets, then insert the word "tiny" in the filter.
Similar for icies. The only planets that you will see are the ones you need. Easy Peasy.
Slightly more difficult for blue gas, but not really all that hard.

I always look for Recently Scanned and then put the highest productions at the top to sort out if any planets are worth looking at.

Recently scanned planets doesn't have a variable time for how long they appear...they are there for the duration unless you apply a flag to the planet in which case it is no longer in the recently scanned list.

So as mentioned above, just put a filter in that will bring up the type of planet you want, when you see a new one pop up then click back, apply the mission arti to, flag it, and go back to scanning.

+1

OR

Keep 20 purgers on hand, so you can use the LM artifact and then purge the offending planets. :D
