EVE General Discussion

The thing is: The bookmark glows yellow if you chose the station via other means anyway, so it's already connected in some way...

@ Zulu: Rather than "half-arsed" would you prefer me calling it "business as usual"? ;-D - Now I'm trolling... ^^

What if you expanded it to AP to locations in general? not just station locations, like what if it could warp you to a SS? :P

There was no issue. The guy didnt set up his ap to the station properly. rather than doing it from assets or the market he did it via book marks, which will get you to the system location not the station itself. So everything is working as intended.

And yes autopiloting to bookmarks has not been implemented.

So if you go back and refoundation book marks are you going to make it possible so that when you start making planets start orbiting they'd travel with the grid?

That's total bullshit... So why can you dock to a station via bookmarks? It's a clear oversight, not me being an idiot... You, on the other hand...

Autopiloting to mission bookmarks has been implemented: open a mission, add waypoints for the target system and the agent's home station based on links in the mission dialogue, and you'll end up auto piloting back to station.

While "half arsed" may be a little severe, it is fair to say that the feature was not implemented in a manner consistent with the existing handling of bookmarks in the UI elsewhere in the game. I can see the obvious reason for not allowing autopilot waypoints to be set based on arbitrary bookmarks (i.e.: to avoid insta-bookmark spam around stargazes), no doubt the special treatment of station bookmarks is something that was merely overlooked during the sprints to bring us this new feature (which is, incidentally, awesome).

I want to criclejerk err i mean autopilot through various
bookmarks within the same system,
just so i can do merry-go-round all day long.

Thanks.

I had already bug reported this on the test server.

Since there was a part of the search drop down in People and Places to search for and bookmark stations, it seemed common sense that it should work for a bookmark you create from that interface.

In other words, if you search for a particular station in people and places, right click on the correct station and select "set destination" it will dock you there.

But if you instead simply create a permanent bookmark to add to your collection and later try to have it go there and dock, it does not work.

Now this was on Sisi, so perhaps things have changed.

Anyway, as I said, I bug reported it as it seemed obvious that it "should" work with any bookmark to a station.

I'm still waiting for Autopilot that warps to a POS bookmark.

Of course the best autopilot would be if it could use jump bridges. Would be great if the autopilot could use titan and blackop bridges. I don't see why this should be a problem. Just a few lines added to the code, amirite?

Later on people will be wondering why EVE can't just do everything for them. We could just sit back and watch the EVE client do everything for us and we'll watch it like a movie.

In case the auto-pilot does not work again, should I land in the station full flaps down or should I just go in with a fast speed landing? And where is the landing gear lever on a Domi again?
