Post Programming for Autopilot
Custom list for preferred or avoid galaxies. Add an avoid galaxy would cause autopilot to remove it from any potential routes. Preferred is probably less useful but adding team protected galaxies could be useful for ap.

Maybe a check box for use juxta or avoid juxta.

Expanding on this idea would be to program your autopilot but this may be exploitable in some way.

/signed, particularly useful in wars or if you want to take the least dangerous route while in a transport ship etc.

exploitable? all I can see happening is trips taking even LONGER and people feeling safer. Maybe someone who uses the "preferred" galaxies turn a nasty shade of green to signal their noobiness to pirates

Only thing is it may be particularly hard to code, considering I'm pretty sure how AP works is it calculates the distance between warps and whatnot

doubtful. AP takes one route from my gal to team HQ and a different one back.

nope it doesnt, because AP is client side and client dont have that much data on a gal unless its the gal its currently in.

And yea, some kind of control panel for AP is on my infinite list of shit to do. but its not that much a priority just yet.
