#Add the option to set shipment relay level in planet screen

Basically, allow a "default" shipment level to be applied to each planet (or sector)

When you select a sector to relay, it will automatically be set to that level, but you can do manually adjust.

It's a small quality of life feature, because the relay is set to the level you last used on the device you are using. Also, you also can't change the setting when there are no planets left with shipments, meaning that if the last sector you scan isn't representative for some reason, when you come back it won't be on the setting you expect.

Putting this in would allow players to set, for example, their starter planets to a low bonus and their high income planets to a high bonus, and the scanner will automatically be on the intended setting.

It wouldn't add any game play or mechanics advantages

In a similar line it would be nice to relay 200 shipments evenly across the star...

Let's say you have a 24h shipping cycle you could skim of 1 or 2 hours worth of shipments from the yellow star, if you can't play your ideal schedule

# rustic sentinel Would just be very very Hydro expensive

A) it's what I do at the moment, just manually, as I have enough hydro.

B) but that's because I am at a point where my hydro generation is very high

C) that's why I'm asking to be able to select the relay level planet by planet (or sector by sector), so high income planets can be set to a high boost level and low income planets to a low boost level

D) then I can press "relay all" and it will relay all the planets at each planets default level. Eg:

If I set the 120% - 140% planets and trade stations to max boost, and the sub 100% planets to no boost in their planet screen, pressing the "relay all" button would relay arts at the respective level

#

It was functionally be the same as relaying then individually and manually adjusting the boost level one by one. Just a lot less labour intensive

hmmm interesting i don't use my l11 relay at all i drone everything (the legal way....) 20m a day and is the same or even better (hydro ) way to do my stuf even if it taes about 15m longer then relay

Once planets go above level 45 and the value of shipments starts to freefall, relay is a very suboptimal solution

yes lvl 56 atm for me 2200+ shipments is too expensive for me using relay @somber vapor

before that Gen14 en Hydro 14 it was a good balance now i just have 40k to much and gen15 comming in soon too...

#

But I have the same problem, the other day I couldn't do bls until the last 2 hours of the cycle because I didn't have space for the hydro

The balance for a lot of things just weird gen 14 shouldn be availible before lvl 50 planets imo (same goes for HR15 before lvl 59 planets)

but if you start to re-balance this the whole flow should be re-balanced and i don't see this happening before a great minority is at DRS12
