Hey folks, has CCP made any official statement on the use of the autopilot CREST API endpoint and automation banning?

I'm asking because I'd really like to build an app that could serve as a fleet management tool, which could set the fleet's autopilot destination with one click in the app. I'm concerned because I'm not sure how this kind of functionality would interact with the click automation ban policy CCP has. I don't 'think' this falls under a bannable offence, but I was hoping someone could provide sone clarity.

Thanks!

CREST sets the destination (and disables autopilot if active), however you still have to interact with each client in order to enable the autopilot. I should think its fine.

I'm still waiting for this CREST method to allow stations and structures to be set as destinations though!
