This is a point that consume lots of time, probing lets say 100 or
more planets.
How about an option on the galaxy viwer where one would select with a
window command ( like on Autocad, by picking 2 oposite corners of a
rectangle) and all the planets on that window would be selected as
destinations for a group of probes. It would be possible to use
multiple windows to select parts of the galaxy. I just don't know if
this is possible to implement on GalaxyTV or on another viwer though.
