As a QM main I can't see any suggestions I disagree with, but I particularly like:
On trader buy/sell prices:
As long as haggling would lock in the price and inventory for a particular item I would be fine with it. It would be no fun to spend 5 minutes haggling cargo hold prices to 5k just for a refresh to reset the price back poverty levels or have the trader decide to not buy cargo holds anymore. An obvious meta way around refreshes would then be to just haggle for everything you want to keep from a specific trader which I'm not sure would be a good or bad thing.
I'd also like to add a suggestion that higher value crates be added to the list of things to buy. It's not hard to get millions of credits doing QM if you know what you're doing. Even easier if you have an experienced miner who grabs 3 starstones 5 minutes in. Last time I checked the most expensive thing you can buy is a singularity core which is 160k.
It would be nice to see a few crates worth up to a million or more worth of credits so there's something for productive QM's to aspire to buy. Stuff like gold plated furniture, rare items that can only be bought by buying that crate, joke items and more. Would help to ease the boredom of some shifts where you're insanely rich and nobody is ordering anything, and you've already neon lighted cargo for the 100th time

6) Allow us to order additional base resources (wood, cotton, maybe alternative tile designs?) from the order list and perhaps rarer materials from traders occasionally. It's fun to use the cargo budget to build and decorate, but without a construction worker around, the design potential feels really narrow.
11) Trash/junk mystery crates from traders. It could be anything, even another junk crate! The possibilities!
14) More fast food crates. Pizza and chinese is cool, but sometimes a guy wants tacos or hamburgers with fries. A chance of getting exceptionally rare sauce packets would be funny, but it's really not necessary.
16) A security crate with old timey police clothes, mustaches, and wooden sticks to beat unruly hooligans with. It would be wonderful if it wasn't security locked, too. Having security come and unlock the crates you ordered to make a militia in defiance of security would be awkward.
17) A premade suicide vest emag crate. The one and only crate you get from emagging the console is neat, but it would be nice if there were other things. Maybe a dangerous animal crate, too?
18) Bonus Noot suggestion: The ability to minimize/maximize sections of the order list. It's massive and uncomfortable to scroll through.
