Looking for a trading mod for X4

Post by IgoBa »

I'm looking for a mod that allows me to restrict trading at a specific station—at least to prevent it from selling—while still allowing its subordinate ships to sell goods from the station’s storage.
I know it's possible to set up a separate fleet for this, but I'm hoping there's a simpler solution. Just pick an option and done—no extra suffering. I'm not the smartest, but I've searched for a long time and haven't found anything like this.
Why am I looking for this? Because trading with a station doesn’t seem to increase reputation. And when I have a lot of fleets (for me, more than ten), I start getting confused. Like I said, I'm not the smartest. The game is great, but managing fleets at that scale and all the settings is just intimidating.
Thanks in advance!

Ironically, I am looking for the opposite:

I want a station to sell it's goods to everyone, but the traders I have assigned to it only trade with my own stations. This way, AI traders could pick up / buy goods from my station, but my own ships are supplying my empire.

I currently have to use a ship with repeat orders to achieve this, which is a bit messy...

Did you tried to assign the rules? I.e. forbid to sell goods to own stations? On ships?

Other way around - I want my ships to sell to my own stations, but still want the station the ship is assigned to, to sell to everyone.

I did try with individual rules, but it seems the ship ignores them and goes with the commander (station) rules instead?

Ships subordinate to a station implement station settings. If a station allows trade, ships trade. If a station prohibits trade, ships don't trade. More flexible management for each product in logistics or whatever it's called in English, I don't remember. Where the workers/drones are. But I repeat: attached ships are the arms of the station. Where the station goes, the ships go. I would like more flexible settings. It would be possible, if desired, to set your own policy for the ships from the station. So you're wrong in that you want the diametrically opposite.
