Two little trade ideas...

1. When you press j to get your destination for the best price you get NA if you are carrying weapons. Weapons are a cargo, some people sell them, let us get the best price by pressing j.

2. Oh wow...easy job! The stations low on AAPs! They say I'll be well paid if I bring 'em some. *flies to Axia and buys AAPs and flies back* WHAT THE HELL DO YA MEAN YOU'LL PAY ME 40,000 LESS THAN I PAID?!?! *sits in stations brig for forcibly placing multiple AAPs in station quarter masters every orifice*

Seriously, well paid means at least 20,000 MORE than you paid for the items.

Fixing the first one is no biggie.

The second is a little more umm.. perspective-driven. The trade reports are based simply on what happens to have a high demand at a given time when they're generated. Plus, they are only updated daily. So.. a given item's demand can drop once the report has been issued. A report is advisory information, it's not like an actual mission. If you're running into that problem with missions, then.. that's something we need to address.

Then there should be a way to contact the station to find out if their demand is still there. Maybe when you get your trade level high enough, you get an extra tab in the menu that lets you contact various stations to find out inventory or item demand.

I've run into this a couple of times, not with missions, just running goods. Given that our present day society can offer minute-by-minute updates on commodity prices around the world, it would seem reasonable that this wouldn't be an issue "in the future". Is it a big job to make them updated hourly, or even on the quarter hour?
