Try asking around the "scanning" channel in-game. Lots of helpful people there.

its not a scanning question, its about auto pilot.

There is, but it is not trivial.

You need to create your own web page and add some JavaScript to it. Then you can use the Ingame Browser Commands (IGB) to create your own paths with the functions:

setDestination
addWaypoint

However, there is no feature in the game to directly save a path like it was a bookmark or a ship fitting.

Edit:
If you want to you can write a comment to a recent devblog and suggest to add it as a feature. Devblog / thread.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Oh, ok. I thought you were asking about WH chains and such. My bad.

This. Name the bookmarks with numbers so you don't confuse yourself and then add them as waypoints whenever you feel like doing your route.

Expanding on this:

Name your folder in a way that helps you remember the specific route contained therein.
In your folder, save a bookmark for each junction system in your route.
Make sure that you number the BMs so that they're in proper sequence.

When you wish to take a route, select each system in order, and 'add waypoint.' When done, your route will be set and ready to use.

Fly smart.


Edit:
Clearly a number of us are thinking along teh same lines. Blink

I do something similar....created a private/personal chat channel and add the system links to the MOTD. Then I can just mix-and-match destination/WPs in whatever order.

Ends/means, but I'm no a huge fan/user of the BM UI.
