I couldn't believe it either when I hopped up from my pilot seat to give friends a guided tour of my "Bordello de Bothaine" luxury yacht the other day...... we stopped in space!
Good thing the luxury yacht isn't attackable, or we'd have been some pirate's lunch!

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.
While in theory I agree with autopilot, you then run into those who want to use it for combat and turn their MP ship into a solo craft WHICH I STRONGLY DISAGREE.
If they can make an autopilot that doesn't have a loophole to allow MP combat craft to become solo combat craft, then I agree.
