Can you give more details on how Autopilot will work? For example, how far will you have to be from other objects or others to activate it? And will it follow waypoints, trade lanes or just go directly from A to B?asked by Furix

So let's do the second question first. So autopilot is going to be your Wing Commander style, Privateer style, any of those, where there's a set of nav points on your map and you can autopilot to one of them from any location, but you have to be aimed at a specific waypoint. You will be able to eventually put pins in your map for your own waypoints, but generally you're following accepted, established trade lanes. As far as the disengage distance, that's one of those things we'll figure out as we play the game. I mean, you do need to be out of combat to autopilot, but we don't know exactly how far you need to be yet.
