Hello,

Just a simple idea i pondered up after warping to jita 16 jumps away. So basically what caught my eye is the options how to set destination. Either open map, or just go to people and places and enter system name, well there is always the way of linking the system inside an chat window, but currently i found people and places the fastest way to do this. But somewhy i think there should be an easier way, that's why i thought that it would be nice if possible to add a optional "command box", where you could for example write an command such as "/setdestination jita" or any other system, or some kind of other useful command which would be nice in my opinion. Of course i might be wrong and there is such a similar or maybe even easier function, but feel free to fill me up on this idea :)

actually, just adding this slash functionality to a chat window would be great...

would need to be able to accept short things though ... eg /dest Jita. In the case of not giving a full name where more than one system would work (e.g. Dodixie, Dodenvale), have it pop up the dialogue box like when using the autolink -> (stuff) options.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Exactly, I mean the dev's should just think of some useful commands and that's it , because i usually use people and places for other things, and it's annoying to change when i need, and it takes time to open the map, so those commands would be awesome :p And Maybe some other ones that i can't think of currently, but like /viewchar or maybe something else ;)

As a command line junkie who never has less than two command line interfaces open at any given time, I like the sound of this (if implemented right). I'm cautious about it since it could make botting easier, and we do already have buttons to do everything, but a part of me likes the idea.

Maybe lets not get this lost in forums, and get a CCP respond on this :) I'd like to hear the opinion if that's possible and will it be considered :?
