From time to time I like to take down market orders but to do so takes a long time when you dealing with 240+... would it be possible to get a click-move mouse-shift click function inserted to make the selection of multiple orders possible for cancellation.

Not needed. Just because you can put market orders up for 90 days doesn't mean you have to. Use the next longest length of time from the frequency of you updating orders, ie. 3 day duration if you update once a day, and you can let them expire rather than cancelling all of them.

I beg to differ. Just because you do not see a use in the function does not mean others are not wanting it. Yes you can modify the orders when you set them up, but for some of us who are using high volume market orders across 10 or so stations do not want to travel around every week just because we set up short term orders.

Oh, right, I forgot the whole :effort: thing. It's too much effort to plan and organize when you can just dump so many 90 day buy orders on the market that you need CCP to implement a way for you to wipe them all so you can keep track of what you're doing. Bob forbid you have to actually undock and spend 5 minutes in an interceptor a couple times a month to renew trade orders.

While I do appreciate your input, this is a ideas and features forum. I am just inputting on what I think would be effective. While you may think its pointless you can spend your time trolling elsewhere.

Correction, this is a features and ideas discussion forum. Post an idea I think is bad, I'm going to call you on it. Try to justify said bad idea with what amounts to "but, but, but... :EFFORT:," I'm going to call you on that, too.

And that's your right, not going to stop me from pushing the idea forward regardless of your suggestion and trolling, but thank you for the input.

In addition I would like to be able to save a route for future use, setting up a 80+ route each week is time consuming.

Can already be done using existing tools. You can create links in the in-game notepad for systems, then you just right click -> add waypoint on them. Just takes a few minutes to setup.

in total With all my trading alts, well above 5000 orders, ive given up on getting CCP to make my trading days easier. So dont stay up all night waiting, cuz i doubt stronghly that CCP will help you there....

Edit: i actually told i lie there... sort of... its not 5000 orders... its little over 4000.. my bad
