[Feature Request] Plz bring back "Trade Deals" from X:R

Please bring back "Trade Deals" from X:R to X4. So that i could buy Trading Computer Mk2 for like 5 millions and then filter known trade deals by estimate profits and ability to order both buy and sell with 1 command, like in X:R. Preferrably not in map screen, cause map gets huge FPS drop. I dont want to see map, if there would be filter by profits in trades.

Yes, and I’ve been told they are considering this, so please keep up the advocacy! Here’s how I proposed it a while ago:
Port XR's fantastic trade window to X4 as an alternative to the map. Is this feasible without too much work? This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eLxA6cV-m4
I've seen many people agree that this would really help X4 (viewtopic.php?f=146&t=423361&sid=5b584c ... 0#p4945261).
I love your map, which clearly took tons of work and is great for many things, including many trades, but it currently takes a lot of clicks and moving of mouse (which is especially tough for gamepad users). Perhaps the toughest part is related to another idea: You need to ensure the map is zoomed exactly where it must be to avoid massive trade distances (this is especially hard with ultra-wide setups like mine, where it's really hard to "box in" a non-rectangular area of space, but I think it's rather tricky even with 16:9).
Care to see what I've been creating? https://www.youtube.com/user/ytubrute

I‘ve asked for the return of X Rebirths Trade interface, minus the ship selection part of it, on several occasions. The map trading is nice and fancy but pretty useless.

And please not only the trade deals but also the trade computer interface (except it’s ship selection). That was a godsend.

I didn't vote b/c I honestly am not sure how I feel about this. I like that I can see the trades using the filters, which gives a better visual than the X:R Trade Deals did. But I wish I could click on a sector to add/remove the stations there to have a better way to control which "deals" I can see.

I'm not asking to remove or replace map trade. But since Devs added Transaction Log it means Devs are not against adding UI elements. So in my opinion adding Trade Deals from X:R is much better than adding useless Transaction Log. And Trade Deals doesn't hide trade offers, it simply pairs best possible sell offer and buy offer for each particular ware. So u can easily see how much money u must invest into deal, and how much profit u can get.

If Trade Deals could inherit Global Orders about activities in enemy sectors and not show Deals from behind enemy lines, then Trade Deals would be awesome alternative to map trades. My map drops my FPS from 40-50 to 20-15, its hard for me to trade through map, not to mention i cant choose best profitable deals right now.
