Is this possible?

...Or better yet did someone beat me to it?

The idea is that you buy a piece of software that gives you direct info on the prices in a sector, not just one your in, but any sector with a trading station. Meaning no more nav sat up keep.
Also race rank plays a major part in how the software works, if you race rank isn't high enough, no info is provided, or the info is moderated to the very basics, with high tech goods, weapons and shields not showing up.
Price? Say as much as it would cost to out fit a 20 sector network of nav sats, plus the cost of up keep every game week. Or a weekly charge depending on the level/coverage thats availible?

btw, i wont be able to reply for a couple of days due to study commitments...

the only problem i think ur find is a way to actaully display the prices

with the trading extension installed you could temporaryly spawn a satalite in the sector you want to view the prices of so they display in the standard trading station screen

or just sending a message to the player listing all the current prices
