Feature request: Set standard price list

[Jarclan]

Hello!

I've been setting up a ring of trade stations, attempting to cover most sectors within a few gates of each other.

To do this, I've been manually setting each station's buy and sell offers to be 10% from the standard (20% profit margin overall).

However, since there isn't a built-in way to bulk edit margins or prices, I've had to manually set the prices for each ware for each station.

I'm wondering whether it would be useful and feasible to allow a new category of global orders: "Price List". I could manually set the prices once, and then tell each trade station to use this price list.

Thoughts?

I just made a post asking similar, well, to be able to copy settings from one station to another.

Google tells me people have been asking since the game launched lol.

Yea it's been a constant chore on any new save. Kuertee has a mod trade analytics that adds some generic default profiles, but that's all. One of those quality-of-life gameplay things that is likely difficult despite feeling like an obvious thing.

I think I may have requested something similar before. I.e.:

* Would be good to set prices in percent.
* Would be good to have price presets.

Like where you define itemcategories, and then add goods to categories and price rules would apply per category.

I like that idea and it's probably easier to implement than mine.

My attempt to solve the same issue with via mods have been administrative groups, but the results are wonky at best. The basic idea behind it:
Remove clutter on the map the same way fleets do. Changing certain settings in the group window should apply those changes to all stations within that group (if applicable).
