Let's be honest. For a MMO that puts so much emphasis on economy, it's surprising the in-game calculator is so pathetic. CCP went as far as hiring an economist, and still the calculator is completely unusable. I'm forced to ALT+TAB to the system calculator.

That just disrupts my zen.

So, here's a 1 day project for you people at CCP to throw some junior developer onto and win my ethernal gratitude:

The results are too effing small.
CCP loves tiny fonts. There's no reason for that. Use bigger fonts for the results and make better use of my screen, you already allow to hide the buttons anyway.

Thousands separator.
I want to biomass my clone everytime I deal with ISK without thousands separators.

History
Just show input values, operation and totals in a table.

We have vat clones. We have faster than light travel. This can't be rocket science.
