Select all ftw

i know its not really the time for a complaint like this as there are loads of other maybe more relevant topics like XP and WW and my missing wooden gazebo but there is still this one little thing inreally want for chrismas this year and thats the long missing "select all" button for doff donation.

Most fleets should already be done or very far into the lvls so whatever the reason was for forgetting it/leaving it out it should be mute by now.

All it takes is an UI progger and like 5 minutes. Come on Cryptic you can do it. It hurts noone no balancing nothing just plain simple quality of life improvement.

And while you guys are at it could you pls make sure that when i have stims slottet as device on my char and i donate stims that those i have on my char are taken last or not at all instead of being the first thing that goes?
I'd love that too.

Thats all - these are my humble xmas wishes for this year from you cryptic santas to be nice and give me what I want:)

    But clicking 200 times to invest duty officers to a project keeps you longer in game and this is good for the metrics. ;)

    I really hate it too. :) First clicking 400 time to buy these duty officers on the fleet base, than open the boxes with the duty officers (200 times) and then invest them... This hurts. I mean this hurts really in your mouse arm. ;)

    This issue has been there long before R&D doffs.
    They COULD add a select all.
    They COULD make R&D doffs hidden.
    They WON'T because as stated, butts in seats help inflate numbers.

    You could go a step further with the consumables.
    They cost a fixed amount at DS9, Dyson Ground, etc.
    But we have to buy them first, in sliders of 100, then contribute them.
    Why not skip that step and allow contribution of Straight up EC instead?
    Contribute a Hypo or 320 EC.

    Just as they could allow Fleet Marks to be pooled into a holding tank for the fleet, and the projects would auto pull from that pool on start, allowing everyone to contribute their FM without having to wait for a project to put them in, but it ain't gonna happen.

    Basically the Starbase mechanics are set in stone, only a resource change (like the new matts.) will cause any modifications to the system.

    It could be exploited to finish going through menu's faster therefore reducing time ingame. In fact I estimate it would reduce time ingame by close to 17x as people would only then need to wait for the totally unnecessary delays in the R&D and Reputation systems...

    Considering the free R&D doffs are commons, I fail to see why I should give a flying phekk.
