As the title suggests the hope is to try and automate the process.
At least somewhat but ideally so that its just an automated series of rolls without much juggling.
Is that even possible ? :)

To start the rules on page 241 of the updated corebook
Find a Supplier
Determine Goods available
Determine Purchase price
Selling goods
you know the routine

Put the work flow into a jpg or png
Then put into a note and story heading for the campaign for easy access

Converting the trade on page 244 of the New Corebook to excel then importing into FGU

This is so analog...
anyway am I missing something ?

The above process gets the details into FGU in an image file and the trade table dynamics into FGU as well
It at least saves time paging through a book or PDF

any advice or suggestions are most welcome

No is not possible as the rulesset is now. it just half built stuff for cargo/trade that doesn't really work.

I made a few suggestion on changes to make it work
