Would find it useful to be able use blacklists to control which objects my stations & ships are permitted to trade with.
In particular would like to be able to prevent my stations from sending ships out to trade with NPC auxiliary ships. Such trades are usually for very small amounts (e.g. 6 weapon components) & frequently fail when the auxiliary flies into a sector my ships can't reach (presumably due to distance and/or travel blacklists). This leaves the ship with cargo I need to manually order to unload & a failed order I need to remove. This scenario is by far the biggest cause of failed trade orders in my current game & I'd prefer it if my ships didn't waste their time on such trades, when they could instead be doing something MUCH more useful/profitable.
Would also find it useful to be able to control whether or not my stations will trade with other stations' build storage. Some stations I'd like to focus entirely on this sort of trade, while other stations I may want to specifically exclude from trading with build storage.
Would therefore find it useful to be able to configure trade blacklists something like this:
Allow trade with:
Stations______[ ]
Build storage__[ ]
Auxiliary ships_[ ]
[Request] Additional fields in trade blacklists to control which objects my stations/ships are permitted to trade with

I would like to set what exact stations my traders will trade with or will exclude from the trade search.
When I want to support turret construction at stations my traders will unload every Advanced electronics piece at Shipyard/Wharf leaving other NPC stations in the sector defenseless for end of days. And I can list quite a few more examples when the feature is utterly useful.

I agree, the idea of being able to blacklist for "ONLY trade with build storages" would be amazing. I could have a build shortages taskforce base.
