Doesn't work for me anymore... Can't make a station the target of autopilot, only the system.
Am I doing it wrong or has CCP scrapped it like 2 days after it was introduced?!?!
Weird... |

So why did it work yesterday? I have a station bookmarked and and click "Set Destination", should work, right? Yet doesn't...
EDIT: Works from market browser for example... That's extremely stupid though... WTH do I have stations bookmarked for, if I have to manually search them to be able to autopilot to them?
Sounds to me like you guys are doing stuff wrong, not me... |

Not sure it works on bookmarks. Try searching for the station in your "people and places" window or asset window and setting destination from there. |

So really it's more like the implementation is half-arsed then me doing it wrong?  Fair enough... |

more to the point, why wouldn't it work on bookmar... er "Locations" ? (lets use the proper derpy syntax here)
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

Yes for some reason it doesn't work for the bookmarks or locations.
It does work though Assets and Market.
It would be nice to nip this particular paper cut early rather then let it linger for a few years.

I Think Zulu it's right here, been using Autopilot and works perfect so far, but a bookmark it's not a station per se but a *localization* in space, so maybe the issue comes from there.

I came expecting a proper dev response on what could be wrong.
Saw CCP Zulu trolling.

It is really difficult to be perfect. :)
If this issue is fixed fairly quickly now that it has been pointed out then that will be more evidence that CCP has started 'doing it right'.
If, however, this inconsistency / annoyance is left to fester for months/years, *that* would be ... sub-optimal. |

To clarify, I think it's unfair to say it's "half-arsed" but adding the same functionality to locations is something we should add to the backlog. Seeing as how the feature is well received it's prudent to expand on it, don't you think? :) |

You found this / brought this to public attention, so you should get the glory. :)
How about making a bug report on it to get the issue officially in their system as needing a fix? |

The thing is: The bookmark glows yellow if you chose the station via other means anyway, so it's already connected in some way...
@ Zulu: Rather than "half-arsed" would you prefer me calling it "business as usual"? ;-D - Now I'm trolling... ^^ |

I'm going to quibble with you a bit on this one, Zulu.
I don't think it at all unfair to call it "half-arsed".
Regardless of where in the UI the command "Set Destination" is invoked it must cause the same behavior.
Allowing commands which have different results depending on where in the UI they are invoked is the path to chaos.
Your response here reflects a code-based perspective rather than a User Experience / use-case view. The later must have a higher priority for quality software development results. |

What if you expanded it to AP to locations in general? not just station locations, like what if it could warp you to a SS? :P

So once again an issue is raised, CCP trolls, is non-committal about fixing it, goes away hoping people will forget about it. |

There was no issue. The guy didnt set up his ap to the station properly. rather than doing it from assets or the market he did it via book marks, which will get you to the system location not the station itself. So everything is working as intended.
And yes autopiloting to bookmarks has not been implemented. |

Might also be a good time to clean up the autopilot management code so that future changes to legal autopilot targets etc hit all possible paths instead of just the 85% the developer was aware of 
This reeks like a bad case of copy/paste code duplication. |

So if you go back and refoundation book marks are you going to make it possible so that when you start making planets start orbiting they'd travel with the grid?

Bookmarks differentiate between type solar system and type station.
If you bookmark a station, it gets a bookmark of type station.
That's the reason you can dock via bookmarks. |

That's total bullshit... So why can you dock to a station via bookmarks? It's a clear oversight, not me being an idiot... You, on the other hand... |

Also need a Set Waypoint / Set Destination choice in the right-click menu of the Star Map when showing station info for a system.
