Subject says it all.
Why not have the autopilot engage any Afterburner's or Micro Warp Drives when set to do so?
I leave my ship on auto when I go to get a coffee or anything like that.
And no, I do not moan if it's not there when I get back. Plus, if a ship on auto-pilot automatically fires it's burners when approaching a stargate then the risk is minimised and also stop the petitions.

Fully agreed :) It would be great if autorepeating afterburners/mwds are automatically turned on after jump.

Very good idea. CCP, please consider implementing it!

I'd actually use my Afterburner if they would implement this great idea.

This would certainly make my life a lot easier, but I don't think it should be implemented. Having the autopilot not disengage when being targetted was enough, going further than that would really make the whole travelling this a real AFK affair. Especially in the safer zones of space such as the SE Minmatar regions where I generally hang out.
Leave it as it is, you can still travel AFK (assuming you don't get caught at the gates and stay there until manually jumping) but you go faster if you pay attention - which is as it should be IMO.
Have fun

I would use this without batting an eyelid if it were available, but I have to disagree with this idea.
For one, Eve is a hands-on game, and being able to automate a 60 hop trip with afterburners would take a lot of the challenge out of the trip.
If I pre-heat my burners, I can come out of warp at full speed. If I wait until dropping out of warp and hit them, I speed up normally.
The trouble is, if I pre-heat my MWD, it will drop me out of warp at 2.5km/s, and unless I am pointing at the gate, I will overshoot it by about 20km.
so doing it manually will get you there quicker anyway. :)

True..in the current state it should be called semi auto repeat or burst since it fires automatically only after you manual activate it after every jump.
