Hello Devs !
Logical thinking is an obligation in computer science.
Im just wondering what the autopilot function is for ? Looking with reason its there to save time so players can do something afk meanwhile their ship is flying on autopilot. But its also well known that doing this in low or null sec is suicide. In Empire space its also suicide if you transport expensive cargo. So the autopilot is just nothing because it cant be used anywhere for real necessery things. What do you think about forbidding autopilot ganks at least in Empire space or a possibility to insure the cargo ?
PS: Flying time duration is one of the biggest minus point in this game.
Thanks, morli

No.
The point of the autopilot is that it flies you to your destination without any further input. The cost of this is that it's much slower than flown manually (and since you're AFK, you're not there to save yourself if/when you get attacked).
If you want to be safe, you have to be at the controls. If you're at the controls, you also get rewarded with faster travel.
What you're suggesting is that, not only should the AP be convenient, it should also be completely safe. That's bad in two different ways at once. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

So you can't even notice what you actually asking for ? Full immunity everywhere ? Really ?

No just in Empire and only if you are on autoplitot.
If you have at least two ounces of brain to rub together you should see what the autopilot is for - save time. If not its just a case of known or unknown scam by game itself because many noobs think - oh great a autopilot function -> suicide gank - they loose their hard earned cargo and can leave the game because of frustration. If you peple want that EvE should be played only by hardcore "true" players, well than I take everything back and agree with you. If any of CCP members read this thread - its also a financial question - more players - more money for your firm : ) .

the only time i ever use autopilot is when i'm in a shuttle, moving thru hisec, with an empty cargo. i'm pretty sure that was the intended function of the autopilot, to move pilots from point a to point b when the two points are fifty jumps apart and the guy does not have the time to babysit his ship all the way there.
feature is working as intended.

No. It's for saving effort at the cost of time.
àand making people safe just because they are lazy doesn't make much sense. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

OK, let me rephrase. Absolute immunity for everyone in empire, except when wardecced. Yeah.
"More players" is laughable strawman argument. I heard Farmville has way way more players. WoW too. Guess what, these games already exust, you don't need to reinvent them.
