Would be cool if you could add an option to only create a trade route for a specific station. Basically a buy x for y. And maybe Buy x from y for z.

I am currently trying to supply some wharfs with engine parts in v1.32, but you can do it only manually in an efficient way.
"Import wares" looks at all stations and their shortages in that sector, and distribute wares ("Waren verteilen" in german) will also trade with other stations in the whole universe, that need the selected ware, because it has no gate limit.

yes sure you can, once you set the import wares on right clicking, go in to the ship behavior and at the bottom of the wares list you can set the max sell and buy range, make sure the trade ship is in the right sector first, it works fine for me until the station no longer needs the wares, then just change what you sell, works the same for exporting too.

having more than one med hauler doing this per sector will eventually cause the ware you are trading to no longer be required by the station you sell to.

• have an empty freighter ready
• look at the map and find a profitable deal from factory A to factory B (these can be NPC or player factories)
• open the Behaviours menu of the freighter
• change Default Behaviour to SnTR Trade (Alpha 0)
• set the ware you want to trade
• max amount is fine for now, you might need to reduce min amount
• you can adjust buying and selling price, but give it some margin for price variations
• set Vendor 1 to the factory you want to buy from (click on blue button next to Vendor 1, zoom to the factory and right click -> Select on it)
• set Customer 1 to the factory you want to sell to (click on blue button next to Customer 1, zoom to the factory and right click -> Select on it)
• set Enable vendors to 1
• set Enable customers to 1
• click Confirm

So, I tried you alpha mod.
For the UI, I have to say that it remember well what we'd got in X3. I like it !
But, the trader ship I assigned to do its job never gone to do its job. It just stay stucked at his place and never executed the orders.
I can't say why.
I followed the instruction.
I used a Mercury that I bought just for the test and it was never worked.

Anyway, I can't wait to see it working because I'll be able to see it at work and I'll be able to sending you a proper feedback. At this time, I can't ^^

Let's see the next version

Thanks for trying. I'll double check my uploaded files and see if they still work for me.

I just tested it, and for me it works. When testing I usually buy a couple of freighters and do not touch them before changing their default behaviour to SnTR Trade. After clicking confirm they undock and move around for a while. Target them and you should read something like "Command: Free Trading - Searching for trades" in the target info display. If there is an acceptable deal it should not take more than a couple of minutes before they head off to execute the trade.

For one freighter I tried something different. I ordered it to Fly to somewhere nearby and waited until it reached that position. Only then I did set up the trade route. In this case the freighter stayed in its waiting mode and never started the trade route. I had to manually cancel his wait order from the behaviour menu. Did you order your Mercury out of the wharf?

On the vendor, I select a station I buit on Memorial of Antigone and ask the ship to pick the engine device I crafted and ask the ship to sell them to all the local stations that are supposed to needed it.

• set max buy price as high as possible (it is your station, you will not lose money)
• set max amount as high as possible
• set min amount to 1
• make sure Enable Vendors is set to 1
• check again that Vendor 1 is set to your station and Ware is Engine Parts

Yes.
I waited the end of the undock procedure to be completed before sending my orders.
