If someone is travelling AFK how do you knock them off autopilot? Anyone tell me please.

Try antimatter.

Oversized propulsion system on a Stabber, or a Typhoon, Machariel at ramming speed. Loads and loads of antimatter usually does the trick also.

Get on Comms, or die typing.

If you disrupt or scram them and blow them up at an in-gate, they will usually stop auto-piloting and the pod will just sit there. If you do it at an out gate, the pod will keep going. Not sure if this is a bug or not but that is my experience.

There is no way to stop them without blowing them up, as mentioned you can slow them down considerably by bumping them, but if they are a small target it is very difficult.

If the size is right, a lot of 1800mm shells also does a nice job.

Because nobody else asks: Why do you wanne interrupt their travelling? Why not let them be? Why not live in peace?

You can not switch it off at all, no matter what you do to them in space their ship will continue along the route until you have podded them or they reach their destination.

If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough.

What if OP is asking it because the freighter is autopiloting with a cargo full of plexes?

This is not true.

See my previous post. It may be a bug, but it is certainly possible. I privately convoed OP after I realized he was someone I know and he confirmed the reason he asked was because he experienced the same thing I described in my previous post.

Can confirm that pods who sadly survive the double-volley keep moving towards the gate.

A freighter full of plex? Did you thought this through. That would be more plex then ever existed.

Because "peace" is no autopiloting.

Oh? It's subjective? Ooops.

New Eden isn't nice. It isn't friendly. It isn't very hospitiable. Good thing there are people here to shoot in the face.

Want to make New Eden a nice place? Try this out.
