Like most of it, but why the market updates in fam news?

well what I say is to make it a separate fam news (not within the other news) just by adding an option "sort by market moves" to the ones we have right now ("sort by empire", "sort by type of event", etc..)

This would be a lot of help for those players who play market to earn cash & ressies for the fam. The market news would show the item sold/bought, the amount of it and the price. It also should be displayed by empire as default, so its easier for a market player to locate his movements.
I can assure, after this tool is designed, some market player will design an ezternal tool that gathers all that info as input and show the economic market balance as output.

Thank you Sol for your support   now we only need a volunteer dev to put his hands on it  (its a damn challenge!)

Some of these msgs are already been showed (in different forms). I just wanted to do it all because I'm not playing right now and can't remember what ops/spell are being already showed in fam news.
The format of coords is the common zz,yy:pp so we make it a link to easily go to that planet.
