B-Day Profitable Haul Tracker Thing

This comes from a marriage of your new POS Tracker and Romulus' ingame stuff, with a dash of GG's constant push for helping miners thrown in.

It would be pretty slick if I could fire up a Tool and click on, say, Boron. This would return to me the TRI station price for reference, and then every POS that sells Boron for LESS than the tri station price. That way, as a hauler, I could find where to acquire the commod from. As a miner, I could sleep in blissful slumber knowing that the haulers out there had a reliable way to find my bargain-priced stocks and would thereby be inlcined to move them.

But wait, there's more! I could also, perhaps, using this Tool, select a particular POS. Doing so would bring up a list of all the commods at that POS that were priced under TRI station prices. mmmm. Maybe even having little "Total" fields on the bottom, so I can see how much mass and value is sitting, desperatly waiting for my freighter to come along and gather it up.

Finally, these two would be brought slamming together by a third searchable/sortable colum, which would be Sector. I could click on a sector, and it would display all the POS's that contained in them any amount of anything that is priced under TRI standard prices. The next colum after the POS name would be the number of total units that are priced as such. So if I see that a given POS has 469 units priced under TRI prices, I can click on that POS name and find out just what is there to be moved, and what I can profit from it.

mmmm.. I think that would be a swell tool. But i also think it is different enough from your current POS Lister (as a result of the sorting/profit/pricing issues) that it warrants it's own project.

Just a thought
