Market Inquirer
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
- Stations for Extra Planets stations (as secondary GalCop stations)
- WildShips OXP Kiotas
- Sothises
- ConStores from Your Ad Here!
- Superhub stations
- HoOpy Casinos
- Rescue stations from RRS Group
- GRS-Stations from BuoyRepair oxp
- S.I.R.F. stations
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, if ASC is installed. Select the station with ASC and it's market is shown in the market screen (f8).
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 distances in system when pressing b.
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 Updating TSC 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.
