Advanced GPS Planner; Automated Supercruiser

[1garret322]

A Galactic positioning system planner which you can set to bring you to and fro routes preset by the commander, eliminating some tedium as it automatically locks onto the space station the moment you exit hyperspace, can buy as add-on for the ship's computer.

Also, another add-on which lets the commander not have to constantly monitor the ship's speed as it near the targeted planet/space station/USS, slowing down when nearing the target and automatically disengaging supercruise.

Never gonna happen. Folks have addressed these requests before and, I believe, the developers have responded with a hardy "no".

You're asking for an auto pilot. It's fly you along your route, fly you to the station, engage the docking computer and land you gently on the pad.
Basically you want to play the game without playing the game (I get it... all that time in supercruise can get to be boring on long-haul trips.)

The problem is that, if this became a thing, you'd basically have a bunch of CMDRs flying around the galaxy who are really just NPCs that don't know how to engage in combat. I've walked away from the keyboard way too often while in supercruise or while fuel scooping only to come back and discover I've been interdicted and am either about to die or have already been killed. These systems would encourage players to, basically, not play... let the computer play for them.

yeah, but for my second suggestion. my first suggestion is only to include a module that automatically locks on to the next target (they do this for routes to stars, but not from star system-star system-station
