Would it be possible to get a autopilot mechanics where it ques up bookmarks?

If you want to autopilot to 0m on the gate, you would need the entire route bookmarked.
making you do some effort before you enjoy the reward.

no.

- kills transport services - valid job in eve.
- kills gate camps - yea it's pvp for ppl that love to kill only ppl that cant defend itself, but its valid mechanic.
- poor database - millions of new bookmarks.

People are so lazy these days. Cry I remember when ran my Obelisx for my CEO from Zorabed to Jita every 3 days, manually. That was like what? 22 jumps up and 22 jumps down?

Oh and to the OP, that effort"" will be quickly zero effort because all you need is money and know someone who has the BM's for you. And yes the database would start to cry again.

Your allowed 15 000 bookmarks.

Using the skill training Queue mechanic idea, you do it with bookmarks.

Open Autopilot Queue, add all the bookmarks you need for the trip and hit Autopilot.

I wonder why no-one ever thought of this brilliant idea before

I approve this idea. Being able to AP to POSes and such would be nice, even with the 15km slowboat (might have to have it drop you 15km out of the shields, not from the tower though).


.... oh, you want Wt0 on the BM... No. Stupid.

They killed the Wt0 bookmarks that the warp to 15 required for a very good reason. This just brings them back.

Oh, and queueing up bookmarks at 15 is also bad, because it just rewards the crazy people who still have their pre Wt0 bookmark set.

I'm trying to figure out if OP wants warp to 0 on bookmarks or not...

Because you could just make a bookmark 15km behind a gate, so you'd land on the gate (15km from the bookmark) and then the autopilot would switch to the gate, meaning an immediate slowboat to the gate of a few metres depending on how well placed that bookmark was.

Welcome to before the advent of Warp to Zero. Everybody had those bookmarks. 15km past each and every gate in line with each and every other gate, station, and some planets. The Server hates that idea.

Oh I totally agree, that's why we got warp to 0 in the first place.

I don't see why we shouldn't have this functionality as long as the AP warps 15km off the bookmark like with everything else.

15k bookmarks behind the gate wouldn't work as the AP will slowboat *too the bookmark* and then back to the gate. If someone was paying attention to make it jump when it lands on the gate, then they're at the keyboard so good for them.
