Assume we have a set of 5 supply platforms in deep space, and want to unload 1000 resource units on each of them. A transport ship with 5000 resource units is sent there, but is unable to send the resources to multiple targets.
My suggestion is, there should be an option for sending resources to the selected target in an amount which can be specified by the user through a dialog box, similar to the dialog used for sending credits to other players (send 2000 resources to this supply platform, 4000 resources to the nearby engineer and 1000 resources to the weapons platforms).
It should be hopefully easy to implement, and I would appreciate if this was implemented in the near future. It would make the life of engineers and extractors so much easier.

This is a great idea to fix a problem that I also get annoyed with.

Nice addition to the suggestion list.
Ya want something so that you can send a custom amount of resources to another Player, Platform or Planet (ppp) as you have available inside your cargo-bays.
Thinking aloud
- We could do something like the send credits button. allowing custom resource selection.
- Or create a additional transfer option. so you can unload a fattie or just a part of it. (for example 500 resources)
- Worse we could just change the default right click to unloading a part amount of resources (for example 500 resources) and leaving "U" keybind to be able to unload everything.

Lets say I have 10 platforms and 10k res in my cargo hold.
Are you proposing I mine another 8-40k more?

how much does a platform hold (for 100%)
maybe make the "default right click" drop 25% of the max value
this way you dont have to type the amount ( quite anoying while under fire) and you dont have to click that often to fill it (max 4 clicks)

Yes. +1 to Bumshot's idea.
I would like to distribute my res to the plats evenly.

or what about a distribution-platform ?
you can either load the platforms like today or put the ressources into this new one
while the distribution-plat have ressources the others wont touch their own
or these distri-plats work like a power gen: once its dead, the others wont work anymore (and you only have to fuel the distri-plat)

1500 resources.
So my suggested 500 resources would be 33%.
But when constructed the platform gets 10% resources (150), so it won't vanish instantly after you have finished constructing it.
p.s. 1 resource equals 1 minute. so a fully loaded platform can survive 25 hours before vanishing.

500 sounds reasonable. It divides happily for an entire fattie and for a platform's total resources without any remainder.

btw, is the keyboard combination "shift + u" free ?
if so, why not add the "smaler ressource-drop" to it
