Market Inquirer OXP ver 1.14.2 (06.06.2025)

Author: spara with additions by phkb

_Overview_

Market Inquirer adds an interface screen (f4) that shows the distances in system and an interface screen that shows the markets (prices and quantities) of the main station and selected stations closest to the player. Stations selected (if present) are

* Sfep stations (as secondary GalCop stations)

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

This oxp also enhances the ASC equipment by adding a free primable equipment Inquirer (prime with shift-n) that shows aforementioned market screen when pressing n and b using MFD. Inquirer MFD costs 1050.

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

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

* Planetary Compass by Thargoid (for planet/moon names)
