awesome. love it. fantastic idea. just one question. what if i dont need to go to the station listed, but the station i need to go to is 1c cheaper? perhaps we could see all the stations? you already tell us the best one :)

This would probably overload the jettison list and make it less readable. Plus, if you need to go to a different station, you need to go there anyway, and thus showing you the price there would only let you anticipate something you would have found out one way or another.

I don't think this is necessary.

erm, i suck at relaying my thoughts. if stationa=30c stationb=20c and stationc=10c. stationa is where i want to go, stationc is where my voy is going and i know the voy will hit a storm before they get there; i can see that for me to go to stationa would have to plot 2 points (to avoid a storm), so i will go to stationb to do my trade. then hurry to stationc to meet my voy. im just trying to maximize credits per hour. maybe im crazy and i dont mean to be fussy, but other games do this.

I don't think it should be on the jettison tab.

I do, however, think that possibly have it in the PDA under a heading of "System info" or somesuch

The Jettison tab data is intended to be minimal awareness information to help people make simple trading decisions. It's not intended to be an all-encompassing trade interface.. ever. There is merit to having that sort of thing, somewhere, but probably not in Jettison.

Few quick things here.

a) you could do a drop down combo box and put the station prices for everywhere in it, since it's a listbox it will take up next to little room.

b) the current setup is only available for the active ship. that's why it's in the jet menu and not in the pda, besides pda would imply there is no link to the active ship.

plugins like TA is more encompassing for 'total trade' but this new addition does certainly help people out greatly.
