First the background. A little while ago, in a game I'm playing, I tried the tool GameToTestBed to test a battle. I noticed that the following year the mt gave me a certain part. I thought it was just randomly assigned by GameToTestBed. When the game then commenced I noticed that I got the exact same part. So I searched, and found out that what the MT gives is indeed included in the m-files. This means that now that the decryption is known, it is easy for everyone to get to know what the MT gives out as soon as it appears!
This is something of a player exploit, as you may know at once you see a trader what it gives out, so you may decide to leave it alone if it gives out something you don't want, or you may bring additional minerals if you know it is a tech-trader.
What differs from this exploit compared to the others, is that it is only information, so it is 100% impossible for a host to know if a person has checked what a trader gives out or not.
I therefore propose to add this exploit to the "Player Exploitable bugs / Features"-thread with the default setting "allowed". And then we make a tool so that it is easy for everyone to check out what the trader brings. in fact, I am working to include this in my GalaxyViewer-tool right now.
