Doesn't work for me anymore... Can't make a station the target of autopilot, only the system.
Am I doing it wrong or has CCP scrapped it like 2 days after it was introduced?!?!

Weird...

So why did it work yesterday? I have a station bookmarked and and click "Set Destination", should work, right? Yet doesn't...

EDIT: Works from market browser for example... That's extremely stupid though... WTH do I have stations bookmarked for, if I have to manually search them to be able to autopilot to them?

Sounds to me like you guys are doing stuff wrong, not me...

Not sure it works on bookmarks. Try searching for the station in your "people and places" window or asset window and setting destination from there.

So really it's more like the implementation is half-arsed then me doing it wrong? Lol Fair enough...

As someone who does dev work and has to support products, that kind of reply is something I only occasionally get to use and get away with. I lol'ed. Lol

Hehehe i love to read Zulu trying his hand at trolling. Gives me hope.

Yes for some reason it doesn't work for the bookmarks or locations.

It does work though Assets and Market.

It would be nice to nip this particular paper cut early rather then let it linger for a few years.

I Think Zulu it's right here, been using Autopilot and works perfect so far, but a bookmark it's not a station per se but a *localization* in space, so maybe the issue comes from there.

I came expecting a proper dev response on what could be wrong.

Saw CCP Zulu trolling.

Left super happy.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

It is really difficult to be perfect. :)

If this issue is fixed fairly quickly now that it has been pointed out then that will be more evidence that CCP has started 'doing it right'.

If, however, this inconsistency / annoyance is left to fester for months/years, *that* would be ... sub-optimal.

To clarify, I think it's unfair to say it's "half-arsed" but adding the same functionality to locations is something we should add to the backlog. Seeing as how the feature is well received it's prudent to expand on it, don't you think? :)

You found this / brought this to public attention, so you should get the glory. :)

How about making a bug report on it to get the issue officially in their system as needing a fix?
