All the above.
Please make it work when I walk away from the seat.
Please make it stop automatically when I arrive.

BTW Tiggs,
This is not a petition.
It is a request by the playerbase for a feature in game that we think will add more fun to it.

/sign and a big Hell'ya for Autopilot Droids and flightcomputers
On the ground you can assign waypoints for a droid to follow... why not in space. Have the droid take over control of the vessel.
As well, allow for a droid to take over AI controls on the multi-person vessel while you jump in and man the turrets or effect repair. The AI is there for Gunboats and Aggressors, it shouldn't be too difficult to port over.

Lets get it so we can set the Sorosub on autopilot and get up out of the pilot seat.

Autopilot could 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 Jad
Not being rude or anything but I don't actually know what you mean by tweaking the program?
You select the destination
You then use radial menu and turn autopilot on.
Ship points in direction
Speed increased to max
Arrive at destination
stops.
Points 1 and 2 are fulfilled already. Point 3's the actual request.
Please can the pilot walk away from the pilots seat without the ship stopping when autopilot is engaged on a MPS.
