Post [Interface] see inbuilt item stats before buying
For example, you cannot see what the inbuilt OL does on the outlaws volcom before you buy it, making it seem like a very bad idea to purchase it. You should be able to see what items do before you buy them.

I dont. Information, at least in this regard, should be readily given. There are many reasons not to release information, but nothing is gained from leaving it out in this situation.

Other things to sort out first. Currently the actual description text is cut off past a certain length. Descriptions are a ridiculous length as it is.

Also, I like it this way too. Don't feel the need to be spoon fed all the stats in the game. Makes it fun, you know?

some descriptions can still be cut off ? O_o, pretty sure a scrollbar should appear for the very few cases where it wont fit in the window

No I mean...it says Inbuilt: Volcom's Weapon Mods. But you don't know what it is until you buy it.

Damn you and your bugging patching skills =P
You have to admit those descriptions can get huge though.

Exactly. As a player, I'd like to know what is attached to the ship before buying, building, or obtaining it, if the stats were readily available. Like if the ship was an AI base ship.

As a new player, I would not have much money or experience. Thats the whole point of being new. I don't want to spend half or more of my only cash for something that might actually not be useful to me.

I'm finding it has the scroll bar but the side of each line of text still gets cut off.
Also I'm all for this idea for common ships in ai stations. But until something gets fixed about being able to make any item appear in trade bay, keep this suggestion out. No fun to be able to not only add new ships into your trade bay to find stats but you also learn what the inbuilts do.
