1.) seeing the entire map of Sirius as interconnected logistical webs and Venn Diagrams, to pinpoint exactly where the SOURCE bases for different commodities are, so that we can then pinpoint exactly where the OUTPUT bases should be, rather than having to meticulously calculate price/profit-to-time/distance routes
2.) having the commodities be check-boxable to pinpoint which commodities are where, the implications for such, and to simplify which trade-webs we want to see
3.) creating simulations that allow quick re-balancing of commodity price/profit-to-time/distance
4.) color-coding of entire systems via House-ownership (in addition to FLComp's base-ownership via factions limitations)
I entirely agree that a tool like that would be helpful. However:
It will never come to exist.
Speaking from experience, putting together a tool such as that is the type of product that software development companies assign entire teams of employees to work on. The hours required to get that product working would be ridiculous beyond even the amount of time that the devs already generously commit to the mod.
