Hey everyone, for a few days now, i being wondering why its so hard to find the planets i flagged.
Their either ones i know are not safe, protected, Scanned or possibly even ones i really want.


On the page with the flags, i did try to get the flags in particular i wanted out.
I Flag the planets i want purple, so in the filter i wrote "Purple Enemy", then nothing shows up.
If i get rid of "Purple" Then every enemy planet shows up!

Image

Top Image Represents the filter i typed in 'Purple'

Bottom Image shows all the planets without the filter purple.

Anyone who thinks this will help to find the planets your looking for, adding a filter for flag color then please do support.

try using "flagged4" as your filter to bring up purple flagged planets. also:
flagged1 = blue
flagged2 = red
flagged3 =green and
flagged5 = gold

*EDIT* you can also shorten it to 'ged1-5' for the same effect.

You can even take it a bit further: d4 enemy will give you nothing but purple flagged enemy planets.

will also give you image4 irradiateds, but that usually is not a huge issue.

I'm pretty sure I've asked this before of someone... Why dahail do people flag planets to be purged? Everything on your list that isn't yours or worth taking should be purged anyway...

Idk about other people, but I used to do it because legion-alerted planets aren't flagged/flaggable. If someone alerted a bad Zane planet, I might've wasted purgers if I kept all enemy/unoccupied planets unflagged.

(this makes a larger difference for players who scan with less than 200 purgers)

The purge-flag-folly predates the quick box.

Hmm. I never even knew this information existed till now!

Most players would not consider this because their used to more advanced games with loads of filter options.

Only thing I don't flag are unoccs, other than that, I think you lack flag creativity. And no, I don't flag "to purge" planets, I just purge them.


Mostly I just wanted to say Darth Flag lacks flag creativity :v

this. i had been blue.flagging blue gas planets to get them out of the recently scanned screen for the xathe runs ... so the blue flag became my default for purgeable planets and i just flagged all of them as i scanned them so that the recent scan filter only included planets worth investigating further.

later, when i restocked purgers, i just go to all planets ... d1 .. sort by richness and purge away, as the planets were already evaluated when i flagged them. if i am bored i will go back into the planet screen to see if any nice structures got built since i scanned them, but that does not happen often.
