sometimes i forget what my alerts were and wish to check on them to see how my legion is doing with it
for instance, i have 450 planets scanned
i shared a random decent planet to my lower ranked legion
later i realized i should have written the name down
i wanted to help beat it up so they could take it
but i couldn't remember the name of said planet
i thought it would be cool of the game kept track of the planets and ships and npc ships i have alerted on during the time the alert is in effect...... at least see it in my news feed
any feedback on this ?

I think the reason this hasn't been allowed is because then you can alert a player to yourself so you can see them longer; this would also allow you to alert a planet to yourself if you think someone might Flux it. However, I don't think those reasons are adequate because, while you may see them longer, it's not as though you can keep alerting them to see them forever. EXCEPT: Now that I think about it, you may be able to keep alerting it, because you could have the player or planet open and then, when the timer goes off and you lose the alert, you can still see the planet to alert it. If they can make it so that you can't keep alerting something forever then I agree with you, but otherwise I do not.

how about if you alert too many times, you run the risk of having it deleted from your databank ?

this is simple, just don't have it post the link for you to click. Merely writes the name out of what you alerted, similar to the messages you get when "one of your scanned planets is no longer visible..."
