2020 Mining Overhaul, Phase 1: Price and Sellpoint Adjustments

[Burning]

I don't have the knowledge to analyze the data sheet properly, but I like what I see and the idea behind it. Generally I appreciate the Devs/GMs approach to those overhauls and I'm grateful you guys take care of the game/mod.

As someone who is not in a mining or trading faction currently, I have a hard time keeping an overview of PoBs selling the ore I'd like to transport. Here's my idea how to make things more accessible:

A table gets implemented on the website (accessible through "Player Utilities". The table shows "Ore Type", "Ore availability", "Mining Activity", "Location" and "Last Updated". Ore type shows which ore is being sold, the availability shows how much of it, the status shows whether there's a miner nearby or not, location and last updated is obvious. PoB owners can create an entry for their PoB and appoint their miners/traders as mods who can edit the entry. Miners and traders that were appointed as mods then edit the ore availability whenever they stop by the PoB, so other traders (but also pirates for activity!) can plan where to go next on their routes. Mods can also put "active" in mining activity if they please. It shows traders that they can come by and grab a cargo load, but, again, it also attracts pirates. The "active" sign automatically switches back to "inactive" after an hour or so.
