So, I noticed a while back that in the current api there is the possibility of viewing your watchlist but there is no functionality in seeing if they are online or not. Could you consider adding this small functionality to api as it would make having the watchlist in the api actually useful.

Oh, and if you could let ppl contact npcs through the new api systems mentioned at AT X it would be really cool to have an app on my cell phone where i could "call" my mission agent and request a mission or "call" my locator agent and ask them to locate someone or "call" my research agent and buy datacores from them.

On the subject of npc agents, I think it'd be a great idea if you incorporated Market agents similar to research agents where if you have a good standing with certain economy focused corporations you could contact them from different parts of the universe and they would be able to give you market information for the system/constellation/region they are in depending on their agent level.

ex. I am in minmatar space and want to do a price check on jita I contact a lvl 4 Expert Distributions agent in The Forge and ask him to give me a market overview for the region and a new market window pops up showing me the location of the market I am looking at. I would pay them a fee just like I would a locator agent and get the information I need.

I know there are websites out there that provide this sort of info but it would be really nice in-game and more accurate as well.

TL;DR - Api watchlist (with online status) - Api agent "calling" - New NPC Market Agents (extra-regional market info)
