It's all in the title. I would like to have an option to shut down my computer once the autopilot has reached its destination. This kind of feature exists for various utility programms. Why not add it to EvE ?

I could see many freighter pilots very happy with this little feature.

start > run > shutdown /s /f /t "time to travel + some buffer time"
You can use red-frog's site to calculate travel time.
so if your travel time expected to be ~3 hours: shutdown /s /f /t 11000

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.

I guess that works. Thanks.

I would still appreciate the feature in game.

I would rather not want EvE client to fiddle with system. Deleted boot.ini comes to mind...

Only as long as it's a toggle checkbox hidden in some nested options menu, and gives no warning before shutting down. Twisted

Can we have a "fleet shut down"option, like the fleet warp one?
