[Suggestion] Waypoint System in Maps

Good Morning all!

So, I've not been playing for that long, but have been doing lots of mission running - zipping from place to place with data or a few canisters of bits and bobs. I've been taking missions in what I consider to be my general vicinity - a half dozen jumps in all directions from a point, and generally I grab several missions at a time.

Now, what I feel like I'm missing is a Waypoint system to plot my routes through space. As it currently stands, I chose one of my missions and set that as my destination, and if any of my missions are on route to there, so much the better. But wouldn't it be better if you could select Points A, B and C, and let the computer plot a route through all those points? Or even better, have an option in the menu to plot routes to mission locations, much like you can plot to go via certain star types only.

If such a feature exists, I've not managed to find it yet - I don't know if it's called something else! I know I've only been playing a short time, but it's definitely something I can see being useful.

Many thanks for reading :)
 
Good idea!

I had a similar idea and was just coming to suggest it when I saw this. Any chance this can be implemented in the near future? Something similar to what Eve Online uses, maybe?
 
Very good idea. It will help not only with plotting course to do several missions but even when exploring. You choose a few star systems and just have your own path through space.
