A few notes about the server status

[cshake]

Cannon: from what I can tell of this change, it seems like every time you connect to the server any hooked prices need to be found by docking the affected bases. This means that if you go sell ore one day and have it properly updated to show that is sells for $$$$$ at base XXX, you log in again the next day at another base and it shows the unchanged price on your "trade routes" list again.
If I'm reading this incorrectly, please correct me.

If I'm not reading it incorrectly, it seems that even though it helps the server load, it will piss off a lot of players. Is there any chance of updating when you land (as you're doing now), and in addition updating any hooked prices for a given commodity if you click on the "Trade Routes" button in your inventory, so there isn't a time when you can see the 'incorrect' sell price? I don't remember if there is a hook for that button (and I suspect that there isn't), so if not, maybe something like pushing the changes when someone mines, buys, sells, or otherwise makes a specific commodity change hands, and only if it hadn't already been updated?

Not really trying to make more work for you, just proposing something that could quiet some complaints.
