Hi,

Would be pretty cool if the autopilot/destination-waypoint system didn't give me 3 different yellow gates when i set multiple waypoints, as if each was set as destination.

Would be much better if it would only show the next gate in the sequence as yellow rather than for each destination/waypoint

kkthxbye

I second that idea.

umm it give you those 3 gates because those are your 3 routes to your waypoints.

If its confusing you during manual jump (as autopilot goes in its natural progression) you can look at the route screen in the top left to see what the next system in route is supposed to be.


It's really not that complicated...

What i mean is that it seems to show you the shortest route to each individual waypoint you set, which isn't very helpful when you want to travel a specific route to avoid certain systems

Agreed, I picked a route via way points for a reason, I want go to those stops in order. Having 3 yellow gates is not needed as only one is what I picked.

Amen. Make the next waypoint visible in overview blue, and all other waypoints visible in overview can stay yellow.

I like the idea of more intelligent UI presentation in routes, but I think they should remove the "auto-pilot".
Keep the route plotting that is there, just remove the ability to automatically fly you from one location to another.

I completely agree. Having several yellow icons doesn't make sense.

dnt even need to use the overview when u have a set destination. just right click the system/station counters in the top left and 'jump' or 'dock'. no yellow counters, no confusions and its always in the order u set

I think that it should become yellow only one gate, the one that I have chosen. I support that idea.
