route planner, long route through a points

[Джим Рейнор]

It would be nice if we would be able to make more complex routes.
I see it like that:
1.You are planning route to the Point B from your location (Point A);
2.Now you are able to plan route from the Point B to the Point C, etc.;
3.And after long planning you are finnaly start a jumping.

Why we need this?
1.For now route lenght is limited, it will help to make more long routes. Route planning is complex, when jump range of your ship changes then route is recalculating. In this case I think be good solution to work only with "A to B" part of route, when "B to C" just saved statically if it help you realize this feature more easy.
2.This feature will help us to plan route through special point that we want.
3.If someone uses third party route planner then this feature will allow him to transfer whole the route ingame using galaxy map only one time instead of 55 times for now.

Thanks for attention, fly safe.

P.S. If route will be stored for next game session it also be good.

So guys, is this feature not needed indeed or my english not good enough to understand me?

I do not think we need this. The only time I was limited is during my 1st travel to other side of the galaxy.
However I would appreciate feature to save route and have access to it outside of galaxy map. That would be very useful during trading loops or for other players who would want to create their own "highway" (for example so called neutron highway).

What I miss the most right now are:
1. Ability to plot a course and order ship nav computer (or navigator co-pilot) to execute jumps until fuel allows it and stopping at scoop-able star whenever fuel is at critical level - this would be point I would take over ship control to scoop fuel and then re-initiate jump sequence.
2. Ability to plot a course for my FC and make jumps until fuel tank is nearly dry.
3. Ability to execute one of the saved plotted courses from navigation panel (access to saved course which have the same origin point as the system player ship is in right now).
