When doing PI, almost all the time when warping to a planet we want to access the Customs office. Can you add to the drop down under Customs Office "Warp to Within 0 m & Access Customs Office" ? This would save a lot of time/clicking.

saves 1 click and 0 time not worth the dev time to implement

First step in what you are talking about is warping to the office. While you are in warp, you can access. Zero time saved. While you are in warp you can even do all your launches and what-not. By the time you land you should have the customs office and your cargo open to drag the items as needed.

Would save 2 clicks (right-click on the PI installation, hover-over, then access customs office). Across 5 planets (or 6 if you're autistic about it) you'd save 10-12 clicks.

Regardless, it would save no time if you do thigns in the right order.

Click on POCO in overview
Click on warp
Click on access

You're right that access can be opened while in warp. You're incorrect that OP's idea would save more than one click.

I could be doing other things than clicking. If you have multiple pilots this could be a huge time saver. If I'm spending time clicking that is lost time for something else. It would make the game more enjoyable and streamlined.

I'm reasonably sure you're just going to spend that time clicking something else. This is an insignificant amount of clicking that would only serve to clutter up and already cluttered rightlclick menu. The benefit does not outweigh the associated annoyance attached to it. EVE does not need to further bloat the UI for every single edge case, and I doubt CCP uses metrics like "this makes playing six accounts at once harder" as a negative value point in literally any decision.

The two buttons are literally side by side. Clicking the two of them is already faster than just opening the right click menu.

And "make it easier to multibox" has never been a successful argument for anything here.

There should just be a button I can click that plays the game for me.

Having to issue commands myself is so burdensome.

Nah, just a "free isk" button in station, a "don't hurt me" shield and armor mod, and an "I win" gun.

To easy to manage with tools in the game, wasted dev time is not needed.

How about a book mark for each POCO or other place you routinely need to warp to then they can be selected from a right click menu.

Unlikely that you can do anything of any note in the second or so that it takes you to select the warp to commands already available since you can only click on one thing at a time. See above about book marks.

Fleet up all your characters and their is no longer a click fest, simply use the FC to warp the entire group with a single command.
But in reality the book mark thingy would solve your concerns here as well.

Id rather there be less buttons on the right-click menu than an extra button that opens the poco when i land. I pi with lots of alts too, but we shouldn't start adding options to every menu to cater to players with alts.

EVE FAQ "7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY? No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be completely avoided"

There's already a button that opens the POCO. It's literally the button to the right of the one you use to warp to it. It even works when you're not actually at the POCO, since you can access those from anywhere in system.

This is even easier, and how I run anything that has me warping to lots of bookmarks.

1: Open People & Places window.
2. Click on Places tab.
3. Choose a bookmark folder to open (I keep mine nicely categorized for this).
4: Right click on the bookmark folder, and choose the option to "Open Group Window."

Voila, you now have that folder of your bookmarks in it's own little window for ease of access.
