Aaah, imagine a flight system where you can warp wherever you want, abort the warp whenever you want, alter course during warp whenever you want.
Warping to 0 on to fixed location is ancient stuff. Being locked completely during warp is equally ancient. Whilst it makes perfectly sense as to how and why the current system is the way it is, I think EVE today should be more than capable of removing those restrictions.
Unfortunately, once again, it would require modifying a few other parts of the game alongside the travel system - like the way you detect ships and possibly capture them as well as possible changes in the way you jump out of a system (I still want to see a fully free entry to a system rather than a fixed entry)
Upside however would be that the space in any system would become a lot more relevant, and more importantly, size of a system would actually matter a lot more. Not to mention that warp-speed related rigs would actually run the risk of being useful depending on the resourcefulness of players.

This is obviously a nerf to high sec freighter ganking. Anyone can see it.
The entire reason a freighter can get ganked is by autopiloting through space, getting caught off the gate, and then bumped in the opposite direction.
This is a CCP again making highsec safer, and thus the dumbing down of EVE continues. All you have to do now is train the "i'm too lazy to sit at my screen an pay attention while traveling" skill

I think WTZ should be gotten rid of all together.
I'm sure I remember a time when it didnt exist....
Plus remove stargates. And concord. Travelling through systems should take thousands of years and be completely unsafe. Your arrival should be heralded by your own radio bubble and nothing else. Local should be removed and replaced with a submarine type "Ping" system. Ships on the other side of the galexy should be damaged by stray rounds fired from other systems. And surely by now at least 2 stars should have gone supernova! And where is the planet of the Apes???

So, I take it here isn't the right place to bring up making everyone land at least 15km from every gate?

I, too, want to spend all my time making bookmarks 15km behind the gate, just like we did in the old days.
It was so much fun.

Their does come a point where a game becomes so dumbed down and "convenient" that any sort of challenge related adrenaline rush ceases, leaving nothing to do but tedious farming for tedious pvp, and when a game reaches that stage it's membership numbers usually sink like the Titanic. Please don't step over that ledge CCP, challenge is what makes an MMO worth playing.
I am compelled to fully agree with Paul Oliver on this.
What next ? Train POD-piloting so you cannot be podded - ever ?
No CCP, that ledge is treacherous. Gold Ammo will follow and then "I Win" buttons too.

Also I'm sure CCP loved it whenever players copied all of these bookmarks to sell to other players.
As did the SQL server.
So much fun, let's do this.

More Easy Button AFKing!! Yay!!!! Oooh, oooh--- let's see it implemented ONLY in high sec, and ONLY in the high-traffic sectors where ganking is more common! Ooooh, and let's set a new rule where the bigger a ship is the faster it aligns and warps!!
YES!! Freighters now align and warp in one second!
OH, and all attempts to target freighters and industrials in high sec FAIL!!! SUH-WEET!!!!
Yeah, let's do that ASAP!!!

Oh, I was there for that. I was thinking more of a warp bubble type effect that you can warp out of but not into. Trust me, I had as much fun copying those fraking things as you did.

Really don't see the point in making a skill like this. It'll just be another learning skill event. Forget the skill and just make autopilot warp to 6km, seeing as it'll be a skill that everyone will train anyways.
No, you wouldn't need it just like you didn't need the learning skills, but everyone will train it just like they did with learning skills.
Wouldn't a skill like this be counter to the whole idea of the removal of "must have" skills that CCP doesn't want in the game? |

If you consider manually flying 30 jumps fun then that's fine by me, however I don't see why you should have to punish everyone else for not wanting to waste their time navigating high-sec gates. |

Nobody's stopping you from not wasting your time navigating hisec gates, it just won't be very effective.

This is not a must train skill, 0.0 and low-seccers rarely use autopilot |

You already have an autopilot which'll automatically dock you in a station, so you don't have to spend any time at all in-game when travelling from point A to point B. What is problem?

Travelling in eve can become one of the most time consuming activities and there is only warp to 0 which makes it faster the rest is watching pretty warp tunnels. I wonder if it's a big if CCP would increase warp speed of all ship by a factor of 5 or even 10. Just spend less useful time in a useless state.

And travelling in eve is one of the key ingredients of eve. Hauling things around takes time, some people want to spend less time hauling things around, so when they're down south they go to amarr instead of jita. Reducing travel time would reduce the incentive to go to Amarr. This is bad.
If anything, travel time should be increased.

Why does the autopilot suck so much anyway. Its 23000 AD, there are all kinds of technologies, but the autopilot lands you a lousy 15km from every object, and there is no way to improve this for some reason |

It is a freaking SPACE game...SPACE...sure it takes time to travel...
by 10??
That would be (scribble scribble...) 30.000 times the speed of light...are you insane?? |
