First: Love your program, using it for quite some months/years now.

But one heavy drawback (IMHO) remains. I'm a discovery player and many trade goods there have different cargo space requirements. E.g. military vehicles or gate/lane parts require 5 slots per unit. Now, obviously this is reflected in the profit they generate, but this also leads to them being totally overrated by FL Companion, rating them far above "regular" one slot-goods, as they e.g. generate 1000$ on a good route while a general good only generates 200$ . I can't earn the 1000$ per unit because my vessel only takes 440 units in. so it doesn't matter if I fly 440x1000 or 2200x200. And as in 98% of cases one flies with full cargo to generate maximum profit, it would be really cool if the cargo space required would be integrated into calculation, being read out for each specific cargo unit. IIRC some personnel cargo only has 2 or 3 slots occupied etc., would be nice if all that would be crunched to "equal" numbers.

As far as I can check, FL Companion already takes "volume" of goods in account in all calculations.
Maybe you were mislead by the fact that the cargo space you should indicate in Settings dialog is the number of (what you call) slots, not a number of goods items.
In your case, you should put 2200 here.

You will then see than if you click on a route for Military Vehicles, it will suggest you to buy 440 units,
and if you click on a route for Oxygen, it will suggest you to buy 2200 units.

Profit is calculated adequately.

You can check the volume of goods in the "Base info" dialog.
