View all market data in current system at Nav Beacon

[Eminor]

Currently the Nav Beacon is of limited use. Scanning it:
* Allows the pilot to see all celestial objects and stations in that system
* Allows some mission specific updates to be given to the pilot
That's fine as far as it goes, but if it could allow the pilot to see all the market prices for the stations in the system, that could be quite useful - It would allow traders to see where the best prices were for their goods (or where to buy goods at the best price). And would give more of a valid reason as to why so many ships loiter around the Nav Beacon...

I quite like this. It might be a little ungainly but it would certainly work from a gameplay pov.

A little ungainly?

There are 15 stations in Sol with Commodities Markets. There's a massive UI challenge right there

It's a fair cop

Well, it wouldn't necessarily have to show all data for all stations on screen at 1 time... .
But agree, it would need some thought as to how to do the UI for it.
Although, I guess you could do something with vertical and horizontal scroll-bars to potentially show data from all stations.
And if it could highlight the highest/lowest prices that would also be good, as well.
