I would like to offer a suggestion to improve the Global Trade HQ. My frustration arises when I am looking for a particular item, don't see it depicted and must resort to visiting random cities in the mostly futile hope that the city might have additional items for sale that include the one I am looking for.
My suggestion involves a change in the display of the GTHQ. Instead of depicting only 1 item, depict up to 6 items for each city. See image below. If the city has more than 6 items, include a + or > to indicate that. This would avoid useless trips to cities that don't have what I am looking for. It would also lessen the load on ea servers. Of course, this leaves no room to show the price of the item, but we know that 99.9% of the time items are selling for full price. We are shopping for items, not price.
If the above suggestion is not feasible, then at least an indication that a city has additional items for sale would be helpful. It would avoid fishing trips to cities that have only one item for sale when I am only going there in the hope they have something else for sale. If there are, for example, 3 additional sale slots posted at the trade depot, then a small +3 in the corner would tell us it might be worth the trip. A +0 or a blank in the corner, would say, "Don't bother, this city does not have the item". Again, this would relieve some frustration and lessen the load on ea servers.
