Feature:
Allow the user to save and restore auto-pilot routes.
Motivation:
I tend to do lots of trips through the same systems, in the same order. I usually set this up in batches of 13 with the route optimiser in the game, copying and pasting each system one at a time from my spreadsheet (yea, exciting!). There are various reasons you might want to do this including trading, PI, and so on. As a player I can work out the optimal route, so don't really need the autopilot Djikstra (or whatever it is) to do it for me. What I'd really like is to be able to automatically fill in the systems to visit by saving the current set and hitting a few buttons or menu items to restore one I've used before.
I never auto-pilot btw, I manually jump  .
Status:
From googling I think this has been requested before. Who knows it may already exist somewhere in the UI I don't know about. |

I know I'd kinda like a change like this too, but at the same time it is a bit unnecessary. After all, I can just make a list of links to systems, and copy them into a note right ingame. Then when I need to run that route, I just open up the notepad, right click, and start adding waypoints.

Confirming there are already third-party tools that allow you to do this exact thing - and can even set your autopilot route for you when you want to use it.
Personally, I use EveEye.
It's IGB-compatible. |

Well here's the thing: I want it to integrate in-game. I don't want to leave it to some 3rd party tool where I've got to spend three months pouring over the code to make sure it isn't sending my route to Mittani HQ. |

Why does The Mittani care where you're going? |

Not sure but I think you missed the point. Online tools are also intelligence gathering tools. |

I think he's going for gankers in general and he's just using the mittani as a figurehead, because if there is someone watching your route, and that person happens to be a ganker, you just gave that person free intel.
Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012. |

Not gankers, no, just intel in general. Fleet movements, individual movements, cyno alt movements, whatever. It doesn't matter. If you're using an out-of -game tool you have no idea where all that's going to get aggregated and end up. If you don't think this is important in some areas you're severely underestimating the kind of BS people get up to out of game. That's why I don't use out of game websites like jump planners and so on.
Anyway it's totally off topic. I don't want an out of game tool, I want an in-game tool I can use to simplify setting up my routes. |

Personally I set a private channel and the make the motd the routes, open channel left click go
If you have preset places you ping pong between this would work. Another channel has the stations for all the trade hubs set, just in case, I can click each and see what is closest because . . . maps is hard.

I like this idea. When exploring I'll typically make a route that's as long as possible with waypoints that don't cross through the same systems. Having the ability to load up these 100+ system routes instead of redoing them every time would be great. |

That's actually a good idea. I guess that's why guy above means by "notepad". Never occurred to me before  . |
