This was mentioned in this thread back in January, but the topic was locked.

I use Optimize Route frequently when traveling with multiple destinations. But having a specific endpoint would be extremely useful, especially when your final destination your starting system.

Say, for collecting datacores from research agents. Or picking up trade goods at various locations and returning to your home system or to a trade hub.

For non-carebear uses, it would be useful for setting up roams (select several high density / high activity systems, with a return back to your starting point), growing a fleet on the way to a battle (3 members x'ed up in location a, 6 in location b, etc., heading for a battle in location f or g). Or maybe you've already got the intelligence on an enemy POCO farm, and want to reinforce all of them in a series of attacks, then return to base.

I'm guessing more than 2 of us have seen this as another small feature that would make our lives easier.

If you have additional uses then add them below. I'd love to see this make a "little things" list.

+1 from me as a carebear.

I like the idea. It would be a great option for chained distri mission or contract chains.

And do not excuse oneself for this idea. Guys from the "Great Church of PvP-Believers" won't excuse theirself for their ones anytimes.

I support this feature as a "little thing".

In my mind it would rise the usability not only for "autopiloting" but for my mission chains too.
