 ==Overview==
 === Changes to Docked F4 interface ===
 [[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
 * [[Stations for Extra Planets]] stations (as secondary GalCop stations)
 * [[WildShips OXP]] Kiotas
@@ Line 9: / Line 11: @@
 Interface screens are always available when docked to one of the selected stations and if [[ASC]] is installed, then in every station.
-=== Changes to in-flight viewscreen ===
+=== MFD ===
 The markets of the aforementioned stations can also be viewed in-flight by using the purchasable, primable MFD (Multi-Function Display) equipment. Different commodities can be browsed in an [[MFD]] by priming the equipment and then pressing n or b.
 You will need to have the [[ASC]] already installed to be able to buy this. The MFD is available at TL7 or greater. A mere snip at just 1,050₢.
