AutoPilot

Title says it all. For all those tired of weighing down the W key

Hehe, I made a bot for that purpose :P

Maybe it could be made a feature of the Bobby AI module. "Fly to Waypoint" or something

This can already be achieved through the logic system.

Have you ever heard of the push effect? Firstly, you need to gather lots of push effect modules and place them on your ship. Next, build a logic clock (there is a video that shows how to make one) and connect the push effect computer to the main activation module. If you deactivate the activation module, the clock will turn on and allow the ship to propel itself automatically without pilots.

Few helpful hints:

• If it bugs you that you have to turn off the activation module to turn the computer on, just make another activation module, connect it to the "not" block, and connect the "not" block to the main activation module. OCD problem solved.
• You can only steer through the core. With the engine update coming soon, this will help out.
• You can perform the same actions with the pull effect and the stop effect.

Hope this helps!

you can do this with certain kinds of joysticks that have a throttle just set it to full and walk away and hope you dont hit something but a auto pilot without the need for a joystick would be nice

@WarSong are you not afraid that we use a Furrier-transformation algorithm over your pics to get a clear image of your environment? :p

Why do peoples keep suggesting existing features :D

Don't dare to crash my station!
Hope your drugs and pills are legal, or I call the spawn police :p

It may also get you if your pills don't stop at the right (or left) street warp tunnel border when requested to.:D

*Ensign* WOW, Sun ahead, no: ramming Saturn's asteroid belt slowed us down and now the gravity slingshots us and we don't fly through the star. But bad news Captain: There is a black hole ahead!
*dizzy still-sleeping captain wakes up* Er...what? o _O
