I have a simple suggestion to allow player searching markets for specific items (weapons, LPC, hullmods, etc.) and actual hulls. Maybe similar to how it's done in SR2: you enter search terminal and just type your query along with filters - in return you get a list of results for a small fee.
Will it break balance? Well it'll reduce "shopping-roaming" by a huge margin.
It is imba? Should not be.
Is it realistic/immersive? 100%
I know that hull searching is already implemented in ConsoleCommands via FindShip but it would be nice to have it as official in-game feature.
