There are times when you need your ship to move in a specific direction but there is nothing to approach and you don't want to re-adjust your camera and click the background. So here is a nifty feature that I've often dreamed about having in Eve. You may have used a similar mechanism in other RPG space games.
Instructions:
1. Open your Tactical Overview. A yellow azimuth appears, extending from the center of your ship to your mouse cursor and confined to the horizontal plane of the tactical overview.
2. Move your mouse cursor to any point on the plane of the tactical overview.
3. Tap your Shift* key. The azimuth disappears and a yellow dot appears at that point, confined to the vertical axis.
4. Move the dot up or down to a point where you want your ship to go and tap your Shift* key again. Your ship immediately moves to that location. The yellow azimuth reappears in the plane of your tactical overview.
* Or whichever key you chose to bind this command to.
I also imagine this feature giving FCs the ability to select and re-position the ships in his fleet, but only after his pilots have given him flight control over their ships. |

No to FCs getting command of the fleet's ships, ever. But the rest of it, telling your ship to head off in a specific direction, I could understand. So long as it's simply implementing an extra degree of precision, rather than replacing or dumbing down anything. |

It could also work with drones. Order them to orbit a point in space. |

What differentiates this from double-clicking a point in space?
As to the warping at 150+km, that would invalidate a lot of gameplay, namely probing and the already-kicked-in-the-pants sniper fleets. |

its one click less, and more precise/tactical + tells the ship when to stop when destination reached

it doesn't have to work with warp. warp needs a friendly or neutral object or a location... you don't have to change that.
