Stupid thing in game dunno if it is bug or whatever

Second time tried to follow what station says when you click on some commodities to see from where is imported. Than you go there where it is said it should be, land on all station in that system , none have wanted commodities . Than for testing tried few more and all the time it says imported from bla bla, I go to bla bla, there is no such commodities for selling. It is all about combat stabilizers which are quite rare , I know where to buy them but many stations just giving wrong information about from where it is imported. At early beginning of my play found same problem with slaves in federation space.
 
I ran into this today. Says a Commodities is Exported from the station I'm on to the station I want to go to. It matches, ie this item is used in Refineries - So I load up head to the station only to discover a loss of 25credits per tone. What's the point of these imports to and exports too, most are always wrong.
 
For some systems it will be at another station/outpost within that system. But take all the trade info with a pinch of salt, it can be wrong.
 
After this long with such sketchy and sparse ingame tools, I just use a 3rd-party log-type app for my own personally collected data, down in my sig there. It's the only datasource I actually trust.

Props to Slopey's remarkable work; it's been great for many many players, but I didn't want to piggyback on others' data as I like to put in the trade work myself. Conversely I didn't want to be suckered in by someone feeding it a bunch of misleading data, I can get that ingame already. :D

This was in the patch notes for the latest Beta build of 1.2:

- Improved import/export data shown on System Map

Haven't had time to check it out yet though.
