Shortcut button for repairing MS

im not sure if someone has requested this before, but i think it would be a huge time saver if instead of having to sit there and do the math, you could click a button that would replenish your Nano Volley, Matter-Phasic Shields, and even Fleets back to full capacity, so long as the required Naq was on hand. I suppose it would be comparable to the way repairing your attack/def weapons are now.
It could be three separate buttons, right next to each quantity box.
Think of all the head math that would be saved!

I support this idea.
That, or make it so we can just enter in like "10000000" and it repair all the weapons.

agreed it would be very nice convenience to have and would make the game play more interesting because if you are massing or being massed this would both save time and make it more entertaining for both parties to atk each other especially if they are on at the same time, wow now i really want it

what's wrong with doing a bit of math? Having to do the MS calc quickly in your head is good for you!
Besides you need to know your math and especially your exponents for working with the levels in ascended. Like the charisma levels:
600 = fleets x343
700: x512
800: x729
It's no use buying charisma levels if you get more from fleets and it's no use buying fleets when you get more from charisma
So when you try and allocate that 150 trillion dmu you just farmed of a 15 quadrillion defence, you'll be thankful for the math skills gained by working out how many thousand MS shields you had to repair back when you just started.
I don't want this game to be more convenient. It's already too convenient as many have pointed out. If you can do the math of repairs quicker than your opponent then use it to your advantage. Don't knock it.

Has been suggested before, and relatively recently. Please search for existing posts before creating new ones. I'll lock this if and when I find an old one.
At the day, use a calculator if it's that difficult. Why does everything need to be as easy as it can possibly be?

No thank you. I would not want my fleets replaced

They are empty for reason

The question is... why not?
Sounds good, would help when inconvenienced by the +1/-1 MS bug.. unless that's been fixed

Slim offers up a good point.

Why not?
Because it ISN'T NEEDED except to appease laziness, and would ADD NOTHING to the game except to add meaningless code to appease that laziness.
The real question is, other than to appease laziness, why should it be implemented?
Case closed me thinks!

This would be convinient and not too much to code.
Dont see why not
EDIT: LOL @ good ol' classic wolf359 post above. Love seeing it in the suggestions section

To be honest its not really needed. Its not dificult math. Think about it this way, if your having a live MS battle the longer your adversary takes to 'do the math' to repair, the better, right?

maybe there could be the option on whether to restore all or enter the number you want restored

It would not be for convenience it would be for laziness and to make game play easy.
Adding and Subtracting in Maths is not really that hard.

I think its a good idea. It's not MathGateWars, its StarGateWars.
And for all you people that want to calculate it manually, then do so! It does not stop you from it.

lol
then also make repairing defence and offense weapons like are the MS volleys, shields etc ...
its not that ppl are lazy, but because it saves time.
no, adding and substracting math is not that hard, but if you have lets say 2342\9000 shields and you are being massed in the process, its kinda different matter and you need to be extra quick.
