So with the new search function for artifacts on NPCs, Planets, etc. I came up with a new Idea to make life a little bit easier. I call them artifact lists. It would simply work like this. In the artifact search bar you would type in the name of the list. So say on a planet you wanted all your buffs and traps to show up without the billion and a half other planet artifacts. Simply type "Planet Buffs" or whatever you want to name the list into the search bar and all those artifacts will show up.
To create a list simply go to trade > artifacts then next to where it says Filter Artifacts by Name there would be a button that says "Manage my Lists." Here you would get the option to manage current lists (add/delete artifacts) or create a new list.

+1 I have to saw this would be a great idea.

A definite +1, and I doubt it would be overly challenging to code either.

Unneeded. you can type in keywords it just what you are looking for already.

True but this would save time and would be something you could use with planets, NPC's, and PVP. Just think next time you are attacking a high ranking player or a player who is online. You could just type PVP in and have your nulls, nanos, shield restorers, and debuffs right there. Then you wouldn't need to keep retyping in the things you want to use. Or if your NPCing you can have your buff ups there (if you NPC for a long time) your restoring artifacts, and what ever else you may use during the NPC blitz. And with planets well you could have your warp's, your restoring devises, and flux there so you are all ready when you finally do get the final invade. Just some of the things you could have made up that could be the diff between getting that disable, that planet and not.

you can find key combinations to do that. for example "ves" brings nulls and tms up to the top. for most any artis you can find a key word or multiple keywords that will give you the combination of artis you want

+1
but there needs to be a limit to # of list per player or the additional info load might be bad for the game

If you click action on the "Other Artifacts" tab then it brings up nanos and nulls to the top.

On yours maybe Epic. lol Not mine. Granted I have 258 different arti's in my cargo right now.

What do you want? Give me a list and ill see what I can come up with.

I can understand why some ppl wont want this, as it might increase data load and stuff.
so here is a simpler alternative:
a quick-use bar with null, repair and cage. Just like the planet flux probe+purger one.

This would require minimal coding (as a very similar one already exist) as well as almost no additional server load.
I think those are the only artifacts that players need to use regularly (well, then there is the KVT spam but most ppl do that from the cargo XD)

You can't come up with what I want since the list I want uses both enemy arti's and other arti's. That is why I think this would be nice. to have them both in one spot.

Having set lists for certain actions would be a great idea. I could see this being a very handy tool for buffing up for npc's/pvp/planets and also for debuffing/guarding/trapping. Having an easy to use list implemented into the game would make alot of players happy.
