Probably posted somewhere before, but I'm too lazy to read all 350 pages...
*) Could the autopilot be adjusted so that it can fly to a specific station instead of just a system?
*) Could you make it so that you can enter the same system/station twice or more? I usually plan my route far in advance and it usually involves jumping back and forth between a few systems.
*) Autopilot 'when 5km from station'. Could you make it so that the autopilot CAN be activated before fully clearing a station, but then just flying your ship straight ahead until it is far enough from the station to actually warp to its destination? A seasick ship that keeps trying to dodge a spacestation just because you clicked autopilot 5 seconds too soon is annoying.
*) Premade routes: The option to select a pre-made route with waypoints, halfway stops, stations, etc. You could make this so you can save your current route (like waypoints) and load it up again.

** Yes, has been asked many, many, times before.
1. This would be really bad, mkay? What it all comes down to is that people would take their 50 BMs and set autopilot to them. I kow I'd do it, and I've got hundreds of bookmarks.
2. I think this has to do with the autopilots path-finding or something.
More likely it has to do with the fact that CCP would like players not to be away from their computers too much when playing the game. It's extremely annoying for your mates, to be sure.
3. The autopilot is rather dumb, you are not. It's you flying the ship, right? Not the onboard computer?
Oh, and in 0.0 space we get stuck on stations when exiting them however we try to do things. Battleships just don't turn fast enough before we fly into some space junk just in front of the stations exit.
4. Most likely to be implemented, but keep in mind that you are supposed to play the game, not some computer AI.

How is the autopiolet dumb? That just dont make scense! were about a million years more advanced than the present day (where we have autopiolets that can navigate a ship from port to port without crew). Oh and we have little drones that perform manouvers much more complicated than warping and docking.
Rise of Valhalla is now recruiting. We are looking for players of any level of experience. Please contact me or SSJ2VEGETA |

Why?
Because CCP has not created an "AFK" (Away from Keyboard) flag.
Something you could set and when someone see your picture or tries to open communication it will show if you are AFK.
If it's a matter of hard to code.. then make it so people will have to look at info and see the flag setting there.
In my view, as a new player, travelling 15 to 30 jumps and ask the user to be sitting infront of the keyboard just makes the game less enjoyable. If it didn't take so long to travel people would not be asking for this. If they are intent in keeping traveling the way it is then this will keep coming up.

I don't intend to be away from my PC, but when I'm doing 6 missions at the same time I like to plan my route ahead and that sometimes means starting at A, picking stuff up from B, making a delivery at C, picking stuff up at C, dropping stuff off at B again, picking more stuff up at B and then heading home to A.
Now if I left from A and only wanted to go to B and C, I could tell my ship to do that. Why would it be wrong to be able to plan actually coming back?
Maybe CCP doesn't want me to return home to where my ships are docked and all my stuff is?
