Player Features and Ideas Discussion

One of the thing I find annoying in eve, is how little control I have over my ship, where it is going and how it gets there,

I was thinking if it would be a good idea to adopt a way point system on moving you ship, where you set a single or series of waypoint that you ships will try to follow (given of course ship agility/speed) giving you loot more options and fun in combat,
The approach, orbit, keep at range and desperately clicking in some direction to get you ship go there!

a god system for would be the used in the old, but good game of Homeworld, simple and effective way to move one ship!
