Suggestion for the new trading post

I like the fact that you have to know what you're looking for to order it. Keeps you from browsing for goodies you haven't discovered yet. I would also like to have a list on the same screen of items that you have ordered before so you don't have to type it in each time. Since the normal inventory list is not used on that menu, that could become a section for "previously ordered items"

I also think that you should'nt be able to order unidentified barrles except by markings.

I like this idea. It's too easy to get any field crystal, barrel or ROM you want.
Or perhaps merely a (largish) chance that it will bring you the wrong item.
So you order twenty barrels of monopole dust and get a listing for barrels labeled "CAUTION". You order them and apply them to your hull to find out it's realy degenerate nanos.

Something of an exploit with the trading post: I ordered a bunch of crystalline uranium through them and used it to convert credits to rin. I think I requested 500 or something, spent about 500000 credits on it.

Maybe you shouldn't be able to do this?

I thing this need few tweks
1. limit of items who can be ordered in one order (e.q. 20 barells and only 5 crystals (based on rarity?) )
2.somtimes you get wrong number of ordered items (e.q. 1 or 2 missing or added by mistake), sometimes one type of ordered item missing
3. rarery you get compelty different goods (mismatch in order system) (very realistic ).

"WTF? I ordered ion resistant barrels, but I got monkeys. ARGH. THEY ATE ALL MY FOOD!"

Be happy, you can sell monkeys to terratons for experiments.
