It would be good if you could buy a module for the fleet carriers, so that it carried a small fleet of cargo ships (maybe a couple of pythons), that you could pay to transfer stock to local stations. When you pay for 10,000T to be transferred, it locks the carrier and that stock, and gives you an estimated time and cost before the ship can do anything else. It could be a few thousand T in space to account for a couple of pythons, and have a similar upkeep to the shipyard maybe. At the moment not much of the trading works for human truckers, because there just isn't enough profit in it, so this would make the carrier easier to trade with, and if it was a cheaper cost than a human trucker would expect (so maybe 5k per ton instead of 10-15k per ton) it would enable trading of a wider range of commodities.
Would also be nice if you could specify the actual sale quantity total, like you can when you set a buy order. So you can save a bit back for yourself, instead of leaving the entire carrier stock open to be stripped
Oh and what about a couple of FC buying options - so the usual 5bn cost plus 5m a week upkeep, but also one for 2.5bn cost plus 25m a week upkeep, with the option of paying the 2.5bn and switching to 5m per week upkeep at any time. Its not easy to save for a carrier initially, but once you have one it can make a truly insane amount of money and pay for itself in a matter of weeks
