some thoughts on the new trade goods and the trade UI
overall, a very positive addition to VO. Spent quite a bit of time flying around seing what was availible and hauling samples to my customers to check prices and demand.
however a couple of things would be nice to have.
starting with another price breakdown in the commerce/sell menu.
To go along with unit profit/loss and total profit/loss a per cu profit/loss line would be nice. Especially with the 4,5,6,and 8 cu cargos that make the math a bit more tricky.
Another nice change would be to have the name of the system/station where you purchased an item availible in the sell screen. just for reference.
with the cargos themselves I like the variety, obviously some new pictures for them would be nice but thats not a huge issue. Quite frankly some of the descriptions are hilarious, but a few appear to be wrong.
corvus holo discs have the same description as coolant. I was expecting something like "cheap knockoffs of your favorite movies" inbstead i got "for cooling things" or something like that. :)
I love the escape hatch systems description of "for escaping" but it just screams out for a -DUH! at the end of it. :)
and as a more serious suggestion, would it be possible to have a few easter egg trade goods for those of us from alpha? maybe a TPG station selling earthly summers holo discs... or a station that sells advanced nanites, just for old times sake.
I dont know if it would be possible but maybe regular holo discs and one of the nanites thats allready in the game(dont remember theier exact names at this point) could APPEAR as those items to alpha / beta players. the item itself would be no different, and they would have the prices of the regular named item, just a different name for us old VO fogies out here. :)

I'd like to add a suggestion to Spells:
Could we get some random appearance goods? Unique trade goods or widgets that appear for sale once in a while in certain places that are only available for a limited time. It would be fun to come accross something new and/or unique once in a while. Even better, maybe they could feed into missions later down the road, like the pick upable mission widgets that were on the test server.

Yes, please give us profit/CU. Thanks! :)
