is there anyway i can get the autopilot to warp to 0 meters of the gate instead of the 10.000meter? my ship is slow and its really booring to fly 30 jumps manual.
thx

lol, why is that?
everything is so flexible in EVE, and its in the future, but nothing in the autopilot can be changed, that sucks.

Its the trade off for using auto-pilot.

Actually its more like 15.000 meters, not 10.000, so your off on your distance just by a few seconds in a really slow ship. Besides if you could warp to 0 with autopilot, then how are all the nice gatecampers gonna catch your overstuffed slow ship to get that nice phat lewt

Back in the day the default 'warp to' distance was always 15km, autopilot or no. However to ease server load CCP introduced Warp to Zero, to encourage people to delete their thousands of wtz bookmarks.. The trade off being that if you were afk you default to 15km on auto, but if you sit there and play you can manually wtz.

Nope. Use your overview when warping to gates and forget Autopilot, unless you like being Autopodded.

I regularly autopilot my orca 20-30 jumps at a time.
Only takes about 2 hours, find something to do if you dont feel like wathcing.

Must not be traveling anywhere near low sec. then? Reading the Wallstreet Journal while doing this could get one warp scrambled and "homeless" rather quickly.

Autopilot is only useful if your going AFK (which is always dangerous, even in high sec) If you have to do it and carrying little then use a shuttle.

Originally by: Taedrin
Warp-to-0, instas, and you...
There once was a time when there was no warp-to-0. This was a horrible time where people were forced to warp within 15 kilometers of a gate and fly within 2.5km of the gate before jumping and to start the process anew. This was the dark ages of pirates, where pilots were actually vulnerable when traveling. Pilots were unjustly forced to use higher-brain functions by looking at the map and plotting a safe course around potential gate camps. Pilots who lacked such higher-brain functions were left to die miserably to the gate camps.
One day, such a pilot suddenly had a stroke of uncharacteristic genius! In his frequently traveled systems, he could create bookmarks approximately 12-15km from the gate such that when he warped from one gate to the bookmark, he would land directly on top of it! Thus instas, and the great bookmark revolution began. Everyone began creating instas for their favorite systems. It was soon discovered that as the number of gates increased in a system, the number of instas that you need to complete the "set", so to speak, grew exponentially. Soon, an entire market sprang up out of nowhere, based upon the sale of large areas of instas!
This is when the glorious instas showed their dark side. With so many millions upon millions of instas in existence they slowly gave birth to a demon of pure lag. Tales are told of pilots who accidentally opened their people and places window and were forced to wait an eternity as the instas finished loading.
Meanwhile, people continued to use instas, and they became a integral part of EVE. Entire alliances kept sets of bookmarks for the regions of space they occupied. Escrow was filled with advertisements selling thousands upon thousands of bookmarks. Pirates and carebears a like would not be caught anywhere near low sec or 0.0 without a full set of instas.
As the problems continued, TQ slowly grinded to a halt. It was then that CCP decided that something must be done! They asked players for ideas. It was then that 4 mighty factions on the Features and Ideas forum formed. The WTZ faction, the Nuke Instas faction, the Starmaps faction, and the corporate bookmarks faction. Each faction waged bitter forum war against each other, deciding that their solution to the insta problem was correct. In general, the pirates favored the Nuke Instas option, while carebears favored the WTZ option. Those in the middle favored Starmaps or corporate bookmarks. After a long bloody war that left no soul unscathed, CCP decided that instas had become too important to remove. On top of this, Starmaps and corporate bookmarks would require too much code, and/or would not yield enough decrease in lag (though I still of the fervant opinion that Starmaps would've been much cooler, and still to this day disagree with Maya on this point). It was then that Warp To 0km was championed by CCP. A great treaty was signed by all of the forum warriors that Warp To 0km on Autopilot was a pandoras box that if opened, would end all concepts of danger from low sec and 0.0. Thus CCP did not allow Autopilot to utilize WTZ. Thus as CCP introduced WTZ, The Great Bookmark Massacre began, as millions upon millions of instas were mercilessly slaughtered.
And this brings us to today...
Hope you like the story, took forever to find again on eve-search in this very same type of topic, there are just so many of them. Support the DEAD HORSE POS's |

You call that difficult? In MY day we traveled 15 km in a flight suit without oxygen, just holding our breath mind ye, with antimatter globs spread all around us. AND WE LIKED IT!

Have you seen the state of british roads?
On the topic though, this is due to this;
Th auto-pilot is an advanced technology that gives the captain of the ship time to do other activities, like market planning, corporation management and communications. Due to the auto-pilot warping from one point to another with no regards to variables, a safety measure was put in place to prevent any other accidents.
I say other, due to the 23341 July incident, where an Amarr Industrial was fitted with the first prototype auto-pilots. Things went fine at first, with the distance set at 2.5km, nicely in jump range.
This was until a passing by pilot, unknowing that he'd stumbled into a testing route, bumped the industrial. This offset the warp, by most ironic way, 2.4km. The ship initiated warp and with the offset, landed only a 100 meters from the gate, unable to jump in time and unable to stop. The gate was destroyed and the event rippled through the universe, disrupting travel routes, blocking ships and causing massive economical damage.
So now the auto-pilots are, by default, fitted with the range set at an optimal accident free range.
And that's it, in a nutshell.

Well that's a poor example. In WoW you have to do a lot more work and wait longer to get to a longer destination
Not to mention you have to pay for it and you can't get everywhere on day 1!
