Player Features and Ideas Discussion

i decided to make a new topic becouse the other one was closed ..

i think we need an autopilot skill .

same as the other topic each lvl of skill will allow the autopilot to warp in closer to the gate .
but like 1.5 km per lvl or something so lvl V would be 7500 km distance ..
with the skilling from lvl 4 to 5 taking 25 days or something .

now this should not effect the normal gameplay becouse it still would not be safe to transport stuff afk with freighters
especcially with a slow freighter this would still be enought time to gank him if not then don't be a lazy ganker and just skill so you can deploy warp disruption bubble's
and if that is not enoegh then they could make it so that the skill does not effect freighters so that freighters would still end up at 15km

the original guy with this idea suggested lvl V to make it warp withing 0 km but that would be stupid ..
afk needs to have some risk.

this skill would then require some other skills to be atleast lvl 4 or something .

no the point is that at lvl V you get to 7500km

shure you can increase the lvl 0 skill distance to 20km but not the lvl V to 12.5 at most 10km

yes i call the ganker lazy
some ppl just have to much to do in their life to travel 30 jumps manually so i use autopilot while i use my time to do other stuf
but the ppl that are camping at gates abviously have nothing but time on their hands ..

i want the auto pilot to be able to train to shorter distances becouse i want to save time
not becouse i wanna be safer becouse if i wanna be safer i will just warp myself


i just do not see what the problem is . why even a single person is against this ??
are you just a hater and do you want to make life as hard as possible for everyone .

why is it that you want it to stay at 15km .. anyone who carry's anything valuable will not use autopilot anyway
and it is basicly for me i want to use it to get from point a to point b with a shuttle ..

maybe make it a shuttle autopilot skill i dunno

I would rather suggest that warping to an object would always land you at minimum of 5km range, because of collision safety regulations..

No more super safe traveling.

Yeah, something like that.

But it should be a more general skill. I've noticed that when I warp to bookmarks in asteroid belts, I don't actually warp exactly to them. Instead, my Mackinaw is some distance away, maybe 1-2 km, and needs to move to actually get there.

I'd like a skill that makes bookmark-based warp-to's more accurate (much more accurat at skill level 5) and that also makes autopilot travel slightly more efficient via reduced distance from stargate.

I think the for later, CCP should just add 5 km, to that the unskilled autopilot gate distance is 20 km, and then each skill level shaves off 1 km, landing you at the regular 15 km at max skill.

But some benefit for when warping too a bookmark too.

I see no point in adding this skill to the game partially because it would be a waste of resources better spent elsewhere and partially because I see no reason to make an AFK activity easier or safer.

an orca on AP takes on average 4.5 mins per system, havent done the math on a freighter yet but as long as the suicide gankers are still getting the ability to gank then I see no reason to not add this skill.

i say make auto pilot land you at 75k, and your skill shouldn't be added to the game at all.

sounds to me that the gankers that sit and wait patiently are putting in more effort than u who is afk'ing. they are not the lazy ones.

saving time can have a detrimental effect to some play styles as mentioned

make life hard for ppl? hell yes. thats how u separate those who are good at this game and those who aren't, those who work and those who are lazy. those who are smart and those who are dumb. i personally consider the complex and difficult nature of this game its greatest asset, because it gets rid of (most) lazy dumb ppl before they even finish their trial. Some ppl would probably say i'm elitist, but i love how this game makes u work for ur money.

i dnt want the AP distance to change because there is no reason to change it. unless u can come up with a good reason that will improve the game experience, why change it at all? and for the record 'i want things to change so that it makes my own life easier' is not what i would consider a good reason.

if u want to fly from point a to point b faster in a shuttle or other craft, then manually pilot each jump. if u dont want to because u want to do other things while u travel, then continue to travel slower whilst afk. its a meaningful choice u have to make. Fast or get other stuffs done.

didnt they change it so u could just warp to 0m because the sheer amount of bookmarks ppl had was crippling the server?
