My idea is to have a way to share a route with other players. A link you could drag and drop into a channel and other people would have the same exact route. This way if you have a specific route setup other players could easily join you on the route. I've noticed that sometimes that setting a route will use different star systems even if you are at the same starting system and it will be the same amount of jumps but there will be a system or two that is different even if the route settings are the same. It's not an avoidance system thing because I don't have any systems avoided and it does it to me sometime. This bring me to my second idea.

My second idea is to have a kind of visual indication that a system you have on your route is an avoided system. That way if a route that someone shared with you has an avoided system in it for you, you'll know right away.

Have fun flying everyone!

this would be an awesome idea - if the link brought up a pop-up box, showing the route, and a button at the bottom for 'change auto-pilot to this route'

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

This would be awesome. As I've had multiple accounts flying between the same two points, but they took 2 different routes. Not related to avoidances, there was just 2 paths that were an equal number of jumps.
