I typically get a few of each trap type per week. It's annoying to have to wait for the old trap to expire before you can add a new trap. I propose that if you already have a trap set on your ship/planet, then you can still use that type of trap, which will reset the timer to 1 week.

So your saying just to extend the timer, right? To put the trap on and have the timer alone increase not the amount of traps. If your traps make it for a whole week then why do you even use them? If your not getting attacked for such a long time I wouldn't use them.
