Simple (I hope) but useful POB improvement.

[Crazyr0m]

1st, I hope I am posting in the right place. If not, sorry and please tell me where to post, also if possible, move the thread there.

So.
Situation 1:
There is a POB i visit (actually multiple ones). I want to help it, bring FOW and RA. But I don't know which is the most needed item. Multiple times I brought, say, oxygen, and the damn base was full, and I had to jettison it, because I needed my ship empty to buy ore from the POB and continue my trade journey.

Situation 2:
My friend owns a POB. He is having troubles in RL, his POB started to degrade. I brought some FOW, RA, and even had to replenish crew. I brought more. I want to fill it, but have no idea if it will fit more, or already almost full.

Situation 3:
POB buys 2 types of ore. I mine one, then POB says its full. F9 menu says it has 50k free space. Now either I jettison remaining unsold ore (and waste my time) then go mine another type of ore, or I stop mining hoping that soon someone buys that ore so I can empty my miner.

What do I want?
That POBs show their current stock AND allowed capacity for every item, their internal rules - how much of every item is allowed and how much there are, so people can plan themselves and dont go mining, say, copper when the POB have like 5 free spaces for copper.

Some of the owners might not want all the players to know internal POB status, that's why to see those stats a password may be set by the POB owner. So foreigners may not know about that, but the POB Owner can give the password to certain people (friends, faction, etc).

Would be even better if we could request POB commodity status at distance, without being docked at it.


Situation 4:
many people who are new to the game have no idea POBs use resources. They also don't know that ANYONE can bring those resources and even profit with that. Many of them come to the POBs empty, buy some ore and fly away, without knowing they could have brought some FOW or RA and even get some cash for that.

What do I want?
Upon docking, a message should pop (either pop-up, or green text like when you undock in /conn), saying: bring stuff to the POB, FOW, RA, buy on planet X for 250$ and sell on this POB for 1000$. This message should be configured by the POB owner. Many people would like to help (they just don't know their help is needed), and even more would like to profit, they just don't know its possible!
