Overview

Markets screen
Distances screen

Market Inquirer adds two interface screens (f4): one that shows the distances in system and another interface screen that shows the markets (prices and quantities) of the main station and selected stations closest to the player. Markets selected (if present) are

Interface screens are always available when docked to one of the selected stations and if ASC is installed, then in every station.

The markets of the aforementioned stations can also be viewed in-flight by using the purchaseable, primable MFD (Multi-Function Display) equipment. Different commodities can be browsed in an MFD by priming the equipment and pressing n or b. You will need to have the ASC already installed to be able to buy this.

If there are more than six such markets, the inquirer uses multiple pages for the information. Pages can be switched by choosing "swap".

If the Navigation MFD OXP is installed, distances are shown in the same unit it uses. Otherwise kilometers are used.

If you want to add a station to the list of selected stations, you can add one of it's roles to the this.$inquirerStations list of this oxp or you can add the role "inquirer_station" to the station's roles.

While not all markets are shown (eg Rock Hermits & Deep Space Dredgers), others such as Liners are! This OXP enables one to make much more money in trading when combined with other OXPs such as Stations for Extra Planets, Liners etc.
