You remember that micromanaging bastard father, Sam? Well, his blood is once again set boiling in my micromanaging veins as I suggest:

A complete economic history.

This would possibly take the shape of a small link under the weekly financial reports table, and would simply be a very long list of ALL our expenditures and profits.

If this would be a lot of work, scrap this idea ;) I want it for convenience, not as a life-saver (though it very well could save the life of the Edgerunner's accountant, provided I can find a good explanation for where those 6000 that were missing this morning went).

But I imagine that the database and server keep track of all our purchases, sales and other economical gains and losses, and if it does, it should be as simple as just forwarding that information to a separate page, right? But perhaps I'm imagining all wrong, and it's just the ghost of that bastard father who is once again shouting to me across the years that the world would be a better place if there were functions and options for EVERYTHING... ;)

Actually, the database doesn't keep track of all purchases etc.
It would be quite feasible to store each week's worth of financial summary data when it was being reset to zero on a Friday morning, it's just the database bloat that would concern me. But I guess if it only kept a few week's worth I could live with it.

If this was put in I would recommended a "virtual server" to run it, and have it show past, present, and "future" (predicted) prices of items on a graph.

This is a pretty cool idea. I was thinking about something like this since i've been working on transporting water around from Elms to BL, it'd come in handy.

I Derive ALOT of my idea's from EvE which I will admit because

A ) I play the game

and

B ) It DOES have some points that are good and can be converted

And in the name of truth, I wasn't at all thinking of EvE when I made the before post :thinking:

EDIT: What I meant as a virtual server was a non dedicated server running it...could simply even be a desktop computer that isn't used anymore and can be used for this.

I already happen to have something like that set up that tracks the market prices whenever I go and check the shops, but I'm not going to share the up-to date economic info with everyone else right now :p

EDIT: Maybe the gazette could report on the economy stuff a bit too.
