Too many "where-can-I-buy/find" threads
I'm generally not a complainer, but there is just an enormous amount of threads discussing locations about purchasing rare vehicles and equipment. Not that this is really too annoying (I could easily choose to stop browsing), but seeing how easy it was for people to make interactive starmaps (even though they're not complete, this is a great start), I can't help but think of the success a database would bring. Does anyone work with MySQL or something similar? I can't imagine that this would be terribly difficult. Have a list of systems, a list of planets/stations within the system, the faction(s) they represent, the commodities/equipment/ships sold at the planet/station, the price of the commodities/equipment/ships, and information on each commodity, each upgrade, and each ship (such as armor, mounting details, a maneuverability rating?). All of these elements would be interlinked (the very nature of SQL), and browsing would be simple and defeat the need to post on the "spoiler" forum about where to buy certain very heavy fighters, or where to find class-10 shields. If someone would take the time to do this, I, and I'm sure I speak universally, would greatly appreciate it (even though I've found everything ), and perhaps the spoiler forum could do it's real job, which to me is not answering simple questions like that. I always thought the purpose of the "spoiler" would be to either reveal twists in the single player plotline, or to reveal locations about hidden jump holes or disaster sites, like the Flint, Patrol 27, the Viking, etc. I get pretty irritated when I see 7 different threads asking. "OMG I watn 2 buy teh SABRE where is omircn alfpha plz???// thxu"
Well, I said I'm generally not a complainer, but I do have my limits
