Question - How hard would it be to add the "Trade Wares" option to the "Repeat Orders" function.

As many of you are aware, trying to transfer your goods from your own player owned stations to another player owned station is a nightmare in this game and requires you to manipulate the buy/sell order system to get it to work. This got me thinking about the "Repeat Order" behavior.

As you probably know you can set up a "Repeat Order" that will create a trade loop. You can set it to buy here, trade there and it will loop over and over. However the "Repeat Order" function doesn't have an option to just "Trade Wares" or "Trade Wares with Build Storage" option which would solve so many issues with setting up supply chains. This got me thinking. Since the function for "Trading Wares" is already in the game and can be set manually, how hard would it be to add the "Trade Wares" to the "Repeat Order" function?

Keep in mind, I have never created a mod in my life and don't know anything about programing or scripting but I want this option so bad I might be willing to give it a try if it isn't too crazy and difficult.

A lot of people looking at the topic but no responses. I am guessing this would be quite hard to do for someone without any of the required skills for modding. If that is the case, I would be happy to use a mod that some modding genius created that does this hehe.
