Better yet folks, lets give the Devs something viable that can please two crowds.
Auto-pilot would be a wonderful feature but I don't think the Devs will just give it to us.
How about a piloting droid module that can be crafted into any appropriate droid. You would be able to upload a waypoint to the droid and he could take you there while you wandered around your ship.
That way pilots and DEs would be happy and the Devs would find that a much more optimal solution as its presenting two classes with benefits.

I came up with something very similar in the de fourm, here is a exerpt:
2. Autopilot Droids: All multi passenger ship captians wish that their autopilot worked when they get up from the pilots seat. I think that we should be able to make amodulethat allowed any humanoid or R series droid able to control ship to various WP in space.The module will have a opptional chip in it to do a few different things:
- No Chip = straight line flights to different wp.
- Pilot Chip = straight line flights to different wp with object collision avoidance.
- Adv. Pilot Chip = straight line flights to different wp with object collision avoidance and defensive flight when attacked.
- Military Pilot Chip = searches area X x Y x Z big for targets and trys to follow so pilot can attack in gun turrets, should be loot drop item.
3. AutoRepair Stations: This peice of furniture is placeable within a Multi passager ship, and can be loaded with a number of repair kits. When said ship takes damage the droid springs to life to repair any and all damage till it runs out of repair kits or ship is destroyed. This was on Queen Amidala's ship on the first movie, when the droids sprang to life to repair the ships shield system.

Very nice ideas with the droid implementation. I just wish the author of the original post would remove the word petition from the subject because petitions are futile.

Yes, I agree the word petition causes the devs to ignore this all together.

There is one way you can technically walk around during an auto -flight, but this is only during hyperdrive heat up. I set my coords, then get up and do my business in the yacht. And yes, I zip back up before I return to my station
