I think it would be pretty neat if you could punch in the cordinates for a few waypoints and your ship would fly through them in consecutive order. You could even choose to loop the navpoints for a neverending tour. Would be great for parties and such. Also, maybe you could autopilot to the nearest station and have your ship stop 1km from the waypoint. That way you can go into the back of your ship and chat with your friends while the ship approaches the station. Either that or go fetch some more coffee

Not to Hi-jack your thread, but;
This was brought up before and one of the ideas was to have a Protocol droid pilot the ship and {just like on the ground game} you could program patrol points for the droid to fly around. This wasn't my idea, but I think it would be a great JTL vet reward don't you think?

No problem man, doesn't hurt to bring up things again and a gain, especially if it's something the community really wants. I like the idea of having a droid doing the autopiloting but I think it should be a crafted feature made by droid engineers that you can add to either an astromech droid or a flight computer. It should most absolutely not be a veteran reward. If there's one thing that I think is ruining this game it's veteran rewards and specialty gifts to new players. This is an MMORPG and these specialty items are taking the RPG fun out of the game. Every item should be craftable so that all players can enjoy them. Not just a select few.
Sorry didn't mean to flame on you, I hope it didn't come off to strongly.

IT BURNS! IT BURNS!
Hey your right though, everything should be craftible. It would be great if DEs could build these droids {not to mention new types of droids}. I was only thinking outloud on this. Still the auto-pilot droid doesn't seem like a far off of an idea.

Hehehe, yeah I really like to give DE's a bone here. I'm not a DE but I just love doin business with them. They're always willing to do special orders and alot of DE's like to roleplay with their clients.
Sorry about the whole veteran reward thing, I just thing that SWG is becoming more of a collectorpheliac game than a roleplaying game.
