is there anyway to automatically turn on the afterburner after dropping out of Warp??

The reason I ask is because I saw the "Auto-Repeat" command, but it does not seem to do anything.

Auto-repeat will keep a module going for more than one cycle (eg, with auto-repeat on your guns don't stop firing after each volley, your MWD keeps going after its 10 second duration expires, etc). To do what you describe, some people just wedge a penny in their keyboards or use a heavy book on the key.

Also, just use warp to zero. It's much faster and prevents you from getting ganked on approach to the gate.

Ok, thanks. Is there anyway to set Auto-pilot to warp to 0?

No. This is the penalty for being able to travel while AFK. If you want to warp to 0, be at your keyboard and manually warp to 0.

This.

To complete the story, there used to be no warp to zero option at all: every warp dropped you 15km short of your target. As a result, people had huge stacks of travel bookmarks 15km beyond every plausible destination from every possible point of origin. Regional bookmark sets were big business. And eventually CCP decided the whole thing was silly and added warp to zero -- but not if you weren't willing to put in some modicum of effort by clicking each warp. And everyone found it fair and reasonable after a short adjustment period.

So yeah, if you want to travel fast, click once per system.

There's always the workaround of leaning something heavy on the hotkey for AB/MWD on your keyboard and then going AFK.

Know how you don't have to keep clicking your afterburner each time a cycle finishes? That's what that does. The only time I can think of that it would be a good idea to turn it off would be if you're shooting missiles at long range. It might take 3 volleys to kill something, but your ship launches 4 because of the delayed damage for example.

Everyone who doesn't PvP in low sec. I, however, have a big problem with gameplay fixes to technical problems.

How about you just press the button like everyone else does?
