REQUEST Change pilot actions on travelmode through gates faster.

[Mr.Killer]

Why flying a very big ship fast to the other place, is it possible to NOT stop on the way at every gate, circle around for a few minutes, scratch your head, look at the map and have an epiphany "Oh, this is what I was doing!"

This is just a description how three star captains fly big ships through gates, having the advantage of their speed and the gate is right in front of them, still they go around, stop, turn, look and then go mysteriously to the other side, while when the player is at the steering wheel, it's autopilot does straight through gates action, I mean, WHY!!!!!

It is not now that I asked to change this weird behavior, but for the devs might not notice it, please, please, make them smarter, not dumber!!!!!

Both player and auto-pilot do what nobody else can? Outrageous! At least the auto-pilot should behave like the rest.
Surely the player too should be forced to go through the same motions as everyone else?

If you insist on the NPC copying something from the player, then going through the Gate (rather than warping near it) would be it?
Happier traffic jams for everybody.



(I don't seriously request uniformity that way.)

Have you tried 8.0 beta? They’ve improved the AI’s collision avoidance calculations, which might help.
That said, I’d probably just stick to low attention mode to avoid the hassle.
