Having just spent several hours moving ships around I thought I would do a simple mock up of a pilot movement system, please excuse the bad grammar and shady graphics.
Given the overworked Dev team I tried to keep as close to current in game mechanics as possible (as I see them).
I think the mock up says more than I can but basically once you purchase the SIDEWINDER MK X with its new one use Quantum FSD (ether could be called anything) your ship location tab changes to destination, you then choose your destination from the original location screen and launch from there, the way the flight is executed is quite fluid, but I would like to see an automated flight out of the station, the jump (same as the current FSD) which will bring you to your target station similar to dropping out of SC and auto docking.
I would imagine this would need to be done as an instance to allow use in all modes and circumvent full stations in open play.
This is the blurb from the description pic which look to small and blurry to me
"Welcome to the new Sidewinder Mk X a recyclable pilot transport ship. You can travel point to point to any station holding one of your stored craft with the newly developed Quantum FSD. The new drive has unlimited range but unfortunately burns out after one use, so for safety reasons its application is therefore authorised and restricted to pilot transport use only. Your flight is fully automated and will fly you to your chosen ship location and dock where you may then retrieve your ship and recycle the Sidewinder Mk X for its next use."
