Multiple Trades at one Station

[mcstalker]

First, i do not have a problem with the fact that Trade takes longer then in earlier versions of the game. But I do have a problem when I ask a ship to buy/sale more then one ware form/to a station and the ship does one trade. Then flies around for five minutes and comes back to the same docking port to do the second trade and so on. I would be OK if the ship needed to move to a different docking port because some wares where only at this port or that port. Really, if a station has ten different wares for sale at one docking port you should be able to select all ten and have that be one trade run.

Yes, this is an annoying bug, as it un-necessarily lengthens the trade. However, if you do the De-squad/En-squad shuffle immediately right after the ship starts its lateral movement away from the port, (but before it completes such lateral movement) it will immediately do the lateral movement towards the port to start the 2nd trade, without going to its parking spot.

It requires manual intervention/babysitting the trade, but its beats the 5 min wait between trades to the same station.

NB: It does not matter which port the ship takes to do the trade. I have verified that, even for mission trades, the port selected by the ship does not matter.
