I know we can autopilot to waypoints when flying a ship. Here are a few recommendations I'd like to make in how to tweak the program.
1. Autopilotcould be able to be turned off and on, not just setting you in the right direction.
2. Autopilot already controls speed when turning, it could also slow down and come to complete stop when it hits a destination.
3. In multiplayer crafts, autopilot should be able to be engaged so the pilot can actually walk away from the pilot's seat and party with everyone else.

The way I'd like to see auto pilot work is not only be able to get out of my seat after setting the autopilot/waypoint but also have the ability to set multiple waypoints and fly to them without stopping. Can we do this now while seated?
That would let you party on your ship with the others and take them for a cruise around the system your in without having to run up and down to set new waypoints.
I'm sure it can be done too... You can get up from your chair after pressing the hyperspace button and still hyperspace so I bet they could fix it so we can auto pilot while out out of the pilot seat too.

plus would give me the chance for a huge prank, imagine this, everyone in my ship, flying along, i set auto pilot to take us right into the sun unknown to my guests.
walk out and lock the room and join everyone in back, walking in i say "ok everyone we are plotting in for a safe trip, now where's the drinks?"
and well u can imagine the following drama when the ship starts to heat up....
