Trading idea for best buy sell software in x4 foundation.
Trading idea for best buy sell software in x4 foundation I hope they put in this feature would be awesome.

best buy software
Go in pick the best item to buy at best price. Lock in that price. not buy it simply right out.
checks no best sell software.
opens the slide bar.
end

Have Best Selling software and best buying software.
Go through the items find the most profitable item. the item most wanted.
Click it to lock it in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
flips to sellers page
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
checks for that item. finds the best price in the universe of the factories you know it.
Locks in.

(the software detects a best sell and best buy lock in)
Brings up a new screen
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
top item Factory that you chose to buy from
what you can buy the item at with the price and slide bar
bottom item
Factory needing resources.
Slide bar below it
-------------------------------------
go to slide it all the way to the right
as you are doing this the top factory item is sliding to the left.
You choose to fill the factory demanding to 80-90% of full capacity. to take into account free traders as well as factory use. depending on distance between you and said factory.
Settle on an amount of product you wish to buy
below it the amount the price and a confirm trade button.

Is a feature that never been in an x game before.
Would make it so could more easily to trades without needing to run sector and universal traders
(yes still want those in too)

And would make people have 3 different levels and ways to make profit from the freighter level.
1 do everything yourself.
2 use the best buy/sell software combo. to create the complete loops for a trade yourself without having to look the numbers up.
sorry not all of us like that part.
and 3
run the full ai trading software to not do trading at all and focus on other parts of the game.

I think this would make the new game. really really shine in the trade department.

Ideas to increase the ease at which we can find and make financial transactions is fine. I hate the whole buying software part from X3 though. Call it something else.

I agree with the having to buy it for each ship aspect. wish they just made it part of the basic engine itself. easy of use and all that. Still with the trading part of the engine from x rebirth and connecting them with a toggle button on both the buying and selling page to a third window / tab to make it so you dont over buy things on your transports. i think is an awesome idea.
well thats a given since i suggested it.
Still want sector and universal trader options for your ships as well but with both options would make it so you can make your trading as simple or as detailed as a person wishs. would make it easier for all player skill levels when it comes to internal trading.

at least thats my thought
