That's nice - BUT - I want to know this cost BEFORE I transport materials to a particular station. I.e. the cost amount need to be reflected in the information about that station. And, of course, it is dynamic.
This is necessary. Trial and error trying to find cheap manufacturing while carrying materials is stupid. If the rate is dynamic, it needs to be on the equivalent of a market, so players have the intel to decide how far/how much. Doing this while carrying good is idiotic. Flying to 50 stations to determine a value that may change before I get back is wrong. Let me view the local 'market' for manufacturing just like a can examine the market for ore. Then I will make market decisions

Then I will make market decisions You will be able to request a quote from a station before a) going there b) moving materials and even c) purchasing the blueprint.
Singular quote system will be very slow. Can we not have a region-wide response to the same query? These values should be calculated (daily?) and stored for recall. This could be similar to the contract market. Give me a table of choices ! Just like shopping for mission agents.

You will also get a list of locations you can install the job in the region with a way to compare their relative pricing.[/quote]
So basically, we can get a relative cost comparison in a region, but for accurate information a singular quote is needed. Well, its not ideal, but at least there is some comparative information.
