Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I see a few more tweaks to finish out a full auto-pilot functionality. First of all, before reviewing this, get yourself a GPS unit and play with it for a few days. There is basic functionality in a hand-held device that should be child's play for a starship computer.

1) Destination should remain destination. When you enter it in, it should be locked-in. Additional waypoints should be added before it, not after. When you hit "Optimize Route" it should remain the final destination of your route.

2) Add "Stop" as a new element in a route. This will allow you to put 3 waypoints, a stop, then more waypoints.
2a) Then remove the "Stop at all waypoints" option

3) Allow easier setting of points

4) Color code the gates (also mentioned in replies to the above post)

5) Allow saving of "Routes" in People & Places -once you've set a route, allow it to be saved. Allow the route to be loaded to your auto-pilot
5a) allow routes to be "Reversed" such that every waypoint appears in the exact opposite order in the AP

6) When you're in a WH, you should still be able to see a route on the map. Starting with the first waypoint instead of your current position.

+1 for route saving
