Features for everyone (not just alliance planets)

Any chance of giving useful features which individual planets could find useful to planets instead of only allowing them if you've got an alliance? Two features instantly come to mind:

Galaxy scans - any real need to restrict them? I doubt they'd be used that often due to the cost, but if I wanted to pick a nice target in a galaxy I hate then I'd have to individually scan them all without an alliance.

Intelligence - I know this currently integrates into alliances, but something similar should be added for players if they want to add their own notes regarding a specific planet. Not just picking an alliance, but something I could tag for myself such as "dist whore - avoid" for my own future reference.

As far as individual player intelligence goes, there is no real need for it. If you need to make notes on certain planets i.e. planets you want to attack, dist whores, scanners, friends.. You could just write them into a journal entry.

I like that suggestion, user friendly (not like the gay journal) and already existing for alliances, so... easy to implement.

Re: Features for everyone (not just alliance planets)

As Makhil says, journal entries just don't cut it.

What I'd personally like to see is some planet page which I can see if I enter in the coords. It could come up with some overview of the planets stats, various buttons to perform scans and private messages. Along with this it could have a list of any previous scans which you've got access to, who performed them (yourself, galaxy (needs adding), seen from 3rd party (when you enter the url of a scan from someone else it gets added to your own), and alliance), as well as intelligence added by yourself, galaxy and alliance in seperate fields.

Obviously this would all be several steps beyond the suggestions in the thread, but it would be far far more useful than the current interface.

Re: Features for everyone (not just alliance planets)

its an all good and wonderful suggestion, but could you imagine how much storage that would require if everyone utilized it? (which would probably happen at least once cause people like to push the servers etc) if it wouldn't be a severe resource hog, i'd be for something with the note adding especially. it shouldn't be too hard to implement a limited character comment field.
