Please describe the functions of autopilot.

What's the hassle in VO? It's already quite easy to travel from system to system in VO?

Aim ship and do /+turbo and hit enter when near the WH.

Sorry to be blunt but this just seems like a waste of time considering the uses if any. There are a lot of ships that help get you from point A to point B fast.

Atlas x, Hound, Hog mk2, X1 even.

I don't understand the need. -1

At the very least, we could use a bit more detail, as Whistler suggestions (and per Rule #5).

Perhaps after setting nav, a pilot could activate auto-pilot which would continue to move to the designated sector using similar mechanics used by cap ships "follow" command. The risk is potentially enormous because your lack of attention could leave you a victim of player pirates and other dangers. However, you could step out for a smoke or bathroom break or answer the phone whilst your ship continues on course.

how does the capship "follow" command respond to ion storms?

They go through the storm but a roid could make it take ages especially those huge ones right in front of the exit 🤣
