To install, extract to your X3TC directory, or more specifically, open the zip file, files in the scripts folder go in scripts folder, t in the t folder.
If it asks to overwrite any files, do so (will just be an older/same versions or my library files from some of my other scripts).

- Sick of having to go from sector to sector trying to find the best price? Or can't seem to find that last weapon to outfit your ship? Or trying to find a ship or station to buy, but can't seem to find which shipyard it's sold at?
With the Universal Best Buys/Sells Locator, you needn't look any further. Simply use it, select the desired ware, and you'll receive a nicely displayed and sorted list of all the known stations sorted by price, quantity and jumps.

- This is my first "real" script... So here's hoping your computers don't blow up (should be fine, lol).
