You guys are roleplaying space trading but don't like the actual trading gameplay? What's next, an immediate "I WIN" button that just spams you with credits?
There will be a separate Bulk Trading Computer introduced in the next update, for "trading challenged" new players who honestly should get rid of such a crutch at first opportunity. Therefore, this computer will consume a size 1 module slot but on the other hand, one extra slot will be added to every ship. This is a Quality of Life improvement after all! Except for those who will use that slot for hitpoints, you know, with the drag frags being the latest craze and all.
And now I'm off to stare at the ETA clock because that's how we fly our spaceships in this spaceship flying game.
Sincerely sorry for the hijack but I just couldn't resist. I guess I'm still a bit salty because my mats grinding AspEx now has cruise control but my Chieftain doesn't, because it's not frickin' default functionality of each and every space ship in the 34th century. For the record, I support all sorts of convenience features in ED so yes, you guys should have your buy/sell all button, and implemented in a straight forward way, too. Personally I trade a handful of void opals or painite every now and then, so I don't really care one way or the other. But I can see how the current system can be a nuisance.
