Deep hyperspace slowly moves/shifts OR smarter autopilot
« on: May 26, 2021, 11:20:54 AM »

Kind of tired of deep hyperspace and storms being static.
Shouldn't they move around a little bit?
It would make travel a little more interesting rather than navigating the same routes again and again.

On a related note, is there an intelligent autopilot feature I'm missing?
Can you record a particular path around storms and then replay?

Hyperspace terrain is pretty boring, sorry. You are stuck just barreling through storms or crawling around them.

Alex has expressed interest in diversifying things, but nothing has come of it yet.

I wish the map would accurately show the paths so I could actually plot a route through it instead of flying by sight each time.

Yes! Exactly!! We need a autopilot where when we manually pilot a course, can remember and replay that particular course for autopilot!

Not just for hyperspace.

Clink a a jump point - my fleet goes straight into the sun instead of around it. FFS.
