Not sure if this has been covered earlier, but the install cost popup is not really helpful.
The original dev post gave a mockup that was nice and clear and easy to read

But the current tool-tip
- Doesn't give you the baseline job cost
- Presents the system cost index as a sliding scale and does not show the value numerically so it's really quite hard to discern what it actually is
- Doesn't show, or isn't applying, the discount for multiple stations providing that service in the same system
- Tax in a station is not taking standings into account and/or is not displaying the standings discount.

Thanks for the reply!

I don't think doing it this way helps to compare costs between systems, and doesn't show to a new player that systems with more stations of a given type discounts the install cost.
If you gave the base install cost as just the unmodified starting number for the job then showed the discount given for having multiple facilities of that type in the system I think it would make it much more intuitive and informative when deciding where to install the job.

Player owner outposts are the only place that standings will effect the tax rate, as configured by the station owner. All NPC stations have a flat 10% tax and standings do not change it.
I meant in NPC stations, not applying a standings discount doesn't seem consistent with the way the market fees work or the lore, and I think further devalues mission running. |

Not sure if it just me, but it also appears as if the wheel interface to select the number of runs is no longer working. |
