Many times I have found myself quickly moving to a staging system for a new conflict, and having to find and fit ships from a market that has prices FAR dissimilar to the ones I am familiar with!

Oftentimes I have a minimal fund for such deployments and have to spend carefully; but having to take time to shop the market and take written notes on the best prices for EVERY SINGLE PART of my new ship in order to calculate my total ship cost is VERY time consuming and a frustrating part of buying new ships.

I believe adding a "Shopping Cart" to the market would alleviate this problem.

In the market window, I can locate each individual part of my ship, right click the item i would like the purchase and select "Add To Shopping Cart", from there selecting how many of the units I would like to add to the cart. This way I don't have to take down notes on paper for each item I would like and return again LATER to find them again and purchase them.

Once all the items I need are in the shopping cart I can see the combined cost of the parts for my new ship, including taxes and fees, and decide whether or not to adjust my cart based upon the final cost. For example, if my total cost is too high for my budget, I can quickly select items to remove from the cart, find the new item(s) I need, and adjust the cost of my order fairly quickly WITHOUT having to make purchases along the way and worrying about selling items AFTER you find out your budget can't afford them.

From there you can either select to "cancel" the order or to "purchase" the order. All transactions are made at once. If one or more of the items are no longer on the market at the quantity requested, you are notified and asked first if you would like to continue the purchase, and then asked if you would like to purchase the quantity remaining of the order you requested.
