Market Inquirer
Contents
Overview
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
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".
Recommended oxps
- Stations for Extra Planets stations (as secondary GalCop stations)
- WildShips OXP Kiotas (more markets)
- Distant Suns by Wildeblood (for sun names)
- Planetary Compass OXP by Thargoid (for planet/moon names)
If the Navigation MFD OXP is installed, distances are shown in the same unit it uses. Otherwise kilometers are used.
