Would it be possible to implement a way of saving autopilot way-points, so that you can have a number of predetermined routes saved. These routes could then be selected from an additional tab in the manage route window.
The only way I have been able to use preset routes is to save the systems to a notepad note and manually load each system in turn by right clicking and adding as a way-point.

If they can get it to work, would be lovely. Last I heard CCP tried to do something like saving AP routes caused the system to flip it's ****. Definitely +1 though.

And while CCP does this, please fix the dumb autopilot: There are no 3 shortest routes from Jita to Yulai or Amarr to Josameto, there is only 1, regardless of how many alternating systems you can put on the route.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Yep this is a neat idea.

And while you're at it CCP, make them linkable and shareable. You did it with the overview for Heaven's sake, so saving and sharing a series of waypoints seems infinitely less complicated.

its really that hard to type a system into people and place and then select ADD WAYPOINT?

...

Don't kid yourselves. Even the dirtiest pirates from the birth of EVE have been carebears. They use alts to bring them goods at cheap prices and safely, rather than live with consequences of their in game actions on their main, from concord to prices

It is, even if you have saved the systems in P&P when you have to do the clicking every single day. In particular if you look at the issue that I posted about. Having to check the route of the freighter and webber that they take the same route and not a wildly different path is tiresome.

Make yourself a note with all system. Problem solved no need to change something.

That means loads of left and right clicks to get systems added in order, for several characters, on a daily basis. Your suggestion wiggles around a problem in agony but does not solve it.
