Market prices

[florek]

Pls, make us able to see prices on local market while still being in space. There was this ability in frontier if I recall correctly. if I bought trade data I should be able to see current prices, right? easy implementation could be to show prices on system map, which already show us import/export items of each station. just put current prices in there. pls. downloading sheet with prices data should not be impossible in year 3000+. heck, we can do it today

or at least show current price on last column in commodity market view. right now it shows only "exported to" or "imported from" when I select specific station from top dropdown menu.



what I really like would be to be able to open up "interstellar market" tab while floating in space and be able to see prices in every system I bought trade data from.

Mouse over sell and buy prices will give you a hovering text box next to your mouse of the actual difference from the galactic average, or from the trade-data for the system you just purchased.
(I have a calculator on standby these days)

I¨'ve been following some trade-data only to see that I despite having a really good buy price with regards to the galactic average, all the stations that where being exported too, were even CHEAPER and I made a major loss.

The imported from/exported to data that you see on the commodity map and the galaxy map are routes that are serviced by an army of simulated traders. Avoid them like the plague because those opportunities are already tapped dry. That data is useful for telling you where shouldn't move your goods, not where you should.
