Net profits in all my experience are the result of subtracting expenses from income. That is, total chip market value minus the cost of the ESI (and technically the implanter decay, which i did not include of course).
The tools purpose is basically to estimate your skill worth at present market values. If you buy an ESI above market values, you can set the ESI markup to reflect your cost: the tool will tell you what your profits will be. Just because someone pays some %
x more for an ESI than market doesn't mean that the market price for the chip made from it is also
x% higher: just that their net profit in selling it will be lower.
In other words, you don't set market price; It's a function of the sales history.
What you are proposing is instead of an independent market price for skill chips and ESIs, having a markup over ESI price on skill chips. I can see that might be useful for a calculator function but makes no sense for a market valuation tool. To do it in this tool, you can achieve the same affect by adding that
x% to the market price by hand in each column.
I could make a checkbox ooption that would automatically increase/decrease markup values from the PEauction defaults by the same amount that the ESI markup is set above or below PEauction. I want to fix the estimation function from 7-8k using the new data first, though. It will be awhile.
