Building defense platforms has always been a pain, much like how building fleets used to be a pain before we had the Fleet Manager. It wasn't too terrible when it was just outposts and starbases, but now we have deep space citadels too. If you go heavy on defense focus, your T3 Citadels can have 63 platforms each. That is 189 platforms across three citadels (252 if you have the Starlit origin). This is on top of the platforms for the starbase. Last night, I had to manually build over 100 platforms per system. Sure, this is an extreme example, but defense builds are totally viable and the deep space citadels are absolutely meant for that sort of thing. Even so, this is not good.
Eternal Vigilance helps to some extent, but it can't bring platforms above 50% and it only helps those who actually take the perk. We really need to be able to build multiple platforms at a time. The option already exists for ships, armies, trading resources, and probably some other things I am not remembering off the top of my head. Why can't we have this for platforms? Even the ability to build them 5 at a time would be a big help.
