Easier raiding

#1
I have thought of a way to make raiding easier. When you select the ships u want to send lets say its 1 EC and 50BC's and then you press continue next page ask the coor but what if the Game developers can make something that you can tick from that shortcut list where you want to send ships and all the planets you ticked thees an attack to it with 1 EC and 50BC's.
I'm sure most of you would like this so lets vote for it maybe its a success :P ;)

It's an interesting idea...
However depending on existing implementation it may not be that easy...
Also I'm unsure what the users perspective would look like, additional targets should be manually enterable rather than force us to shortcut them, additional targets coudl be removable wherever we can see them, deut cost can be summed, but what travel time do you want to see? I see a large amount of clutter for a fully functioning system.
I would try it if there was something like this, but i already have a reasonably efficient system for raiding quickly...

Personally I'd prefer to see some kind of shortcut that means i don't have to go through the target&speed, mission-type&resources-carried page, since I can't remember ever changing these values for a raid. (i.e. select ships and then show a confirm page, or just a mission-sent-info page)

However in all fairness I cautiously vote yes, but I'd like to see much more specific details about the user side before i'd fully support this, I'd hate for a good idea to go ahead and turn out to be too hard to use for it to be worth it...

I will vote yes

I think it'd be cleaner and easier to use if it's a system such as the espionage link from the galaxy view, you already set how many probes to send in the options... why not set a default raid fleet in the options and then you can just click the icon from the galaxy view there as well

I am for this.

We can set a default number of espies under options, so I don't see the issue with setting a default raiding fleet in the same way. This could be auto-selected, but you could then just type in to add/change numbers of ships in the current way. It would speed it up and make it easier especially if playing from phone or on a poor net connection.

I agree with Impachtk. ( :P though be careful, as different WSA and different targets have different defenses...)
