I have traders in a few Hubs. I have vans from a few cities in each. This gives me the most freedom for deploying and recalling vans as needed.

However, when sending resources using Hub Orders, two improvements to the UI could save a lot of time:

Merge the vans having equal speed, so you use 40 vans in one go, rather than 5, 5, 10, 10, 10. I'm fairly sure that represents >95% of usage.
Remember the destination - rather than having the player (slowly) re-select the same item again in the drop-down list.

The merging could be presented as an additional tick option, "merge vans (from different towns)", enabled by default. The "Required Caravans" then uses the total, and "Send Trade Mission" generates as many missions as required to fulfil the order, starting with the fastest vans.

Any option like this would be a great relief. Transferring basic resources between hubs is unbelievably repetitive. Also:

3. Take us to the Hub Movements screen, not the Trade Movements trader's city. Usually that screen isn't even involved in the transaction, because the vans were supplied from another city, and they are going somewhere else.

Also nice would be a "go to hub X and pick Y amount of Z and return"-order. Or something like pick all crafted equipments or all herbs.

This is def a +1.

Also would there be a way to have a list of hubs your traders are at when choosing where to send. Or prioritize those hubs over the others in the current list?

+1

And the ability to type in a hub name on the Town > Market > Orders page, instead of having to go to the map every single time you want to send items to a hub.
