Super Cruise align key?

Something that would make super cruise more enjoyable and more replaxing, would be an align-key, for an example, if it's bound to "Y" key, when that key is press/toggle (can be configurated in controls section in options), your ship will align with your target in super cruise, like a station or what ever.

Anyone else would like this ?

I got this idea from the new thing which was implemented in 2.2, when you jumping to a new system, the ship auto align with the star.

If something like this is implemented it should work for either entering super-cruise or jumping. Optionally it could also work for re-aligning to a target while in super-cruise or real space. I do not see it as a game play breaking feature, just a quality of life type of addition. It could require new navigational module, similar to the docking computer if people think it is justified for the added convenience. I could also see it taking about the same time to complete the auto alignment as the charging of the frame-shift/super-cruise drives.

My commander would like this, as with other autopilots. But as a player I think it'd make for less fun gameplay.

Once I set my ship on a course it stays on that course. Other than automation what would this achieve? I'm not a fan of Auto-Pilot, so if that's what you're after I have to disagree. If you are trying to solve a different puzzle, I could use more details. What issue would be solved with a 're-align key'?

I could see a use for this, without it becoming an "auto-pilot". It would come in handy after dispatching those pesky NPC's who insist on interdicting you a few hundred Mm from your destination. Tap the button, auto-orient yourself back where you were headed. Could also be useful when bounty hunting in a RES, to reorient yourself with the actual RES point after you've been blasting away a while. But it wouldn't have to be limited just to navigational markers - an Auto-Orient feature for anything you've locked on to could be quite handy, be it a cargo canister, a settlement generator, another ship - there are certainly possibilities for such a function, that does not make it an "auto-pilot".

Only align, you have to control your ship, anyway it doesn't effect me that much, only sometimes when I need to find USS and such, im not using supercruise that much anyway. I found a way around it, have been jumping stright to my destinations most of my time.
