Have you ever tried planning your route to 4-5 diffrent systems by adding waypoints only to ask yourself the question, "There must be a more efficient way to swing by all theese places...". I would love an "Calculate best route" option when you have 3 or more stops in your autopilot. In short: A solution to a travelling-sales-man problem for your waypoints, galaxy version. :)

Exists as described above.

What I miss is a way to have a start point and an absolute destination between which the client calculates the best route to several waypoints. If an absolute destination is set, all other waypoints and destinations are placed before this particular destination.

I'd also be able to rearrange waypoints by dragging and dropping them around. For instance, I usually set an autopilot route to low sec systems by setting the route up to the low sec destination and then add a waypoint to the last highsec, delete the lowsec and set another waypoint to the low sec destination again. Cumbersome and it should be changed by either introducing the first or the second idea.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Question, is there an Option to save different routes?

I have not found such function, the only remotely connected function to saving routes is to save solar systems and/or stations in bookmarks or use your Asset window.

To Bad, would be a nice thing to suggest.
