This is the second version of BlOomberg Markets, and features integration with the Snoopers OXP news service along with use of the new mission screen handling features introduced in Oolite v1.74.  Further tweaks have been made for compatibility with javascript updates in Oolite v1.75. Changes to the market handling introduced in 1.82 raise the requirement to Oolite 1.82.}

BlOomberg Markets creates random events that affect the commodity prices in specific systems.  Prices can go up or down, and it's up to the player to decide whether to take advantage of an event to maximise their profit.  }

If you have Snoopers installed, you'll receive any relevant financial information from time to time through the BlOomberg Markets news channel.  Events can last for up to around 20 days; while this is usually enough time to cross much of the galaxy, there's no guarantee that a player will be able to reach any given event.  While an event is ongoing, a note is added to the Ship's Manifest (F5) screen.  Events tend to occur every 30-40 days, so if an event doesn't look that attractive a player can hold out for another one later.  }

Though the OXP has been designed to create fairly extreme price fluctuations, note that prices will still vary by economy type.  So, a reduction in the price of computers, for example, will result in very low prices in a Rich Industrial system (where computers are already fairly cheap) whereas the reduced prices in a Mainly Industrial system might still be quite high in comparison.  When an event occurs, it's therefore worth checking the exact economy type of a system in order to determine whether a potential deal is worth pursuing.  }

    BlOomberg Markets v2.9
An OXP by Ramirez for Oolite v1.82

This is the second version of BlOomberg Markets, and features integration with the Snoopers OXP news service (now GNN) along with use of the new mission screen handling features introduced in Oolite v1.74.  Further tweaks have been made for compatibility with javascript updates in Oolite v1.75. Changes to the market handling introduced in 1.82 raise the requirement to Oolite 1.82.

What it does
============
BlOomberg Markets creates random events that affect the commodity prices in specific systems.  Prices can go up or down, and it's up to the player to decide whether to take advantage of an event to maximise their profit.  

If you have GNN installed, you'll receive any relevant financial information from time to time through the BlOomberg Markets news channel.  Events can last for up to around 20 days; while this is usually enough time to cross much of the galaxy, there's no guarantee that a player will be able to reach any given event.  While an event is ongoing, a note is added to the Ship's Manifest (F5) screen.  Events tend to occur every 30-40 days, so if an event doesn't look that attractive a player can hold out for another one later.  

Though the OXP has been designed to create fairly extreme price fluctuations, note that prices will still vary by economy type.  So, a reduction in the price of computers, for example, will result in very low prices in a Rich Industrial system (where computers are already fairly cheap) whereas the reduced prices in a Mainly Industrial system might still be quite high in comparison.  When an event occurs, it's therefore worth checking the exact economy type of a system in order to determine whether a potential deal is worth pursuing.  
 
Future Developments
===================
I've developed a mechanism to create rarer events that affect more than one system, e.g. all those with a particular government or ecomony type, but I'm still working on the actual events and the corresponding mission text.
