Advanced piloting techniques: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
(1) Changed section titles so they reflect better their content. Separated section "Flying for fun..." into "General navigation" and "Combat Navigation" (2) Changed "Directional and system scanner" to "Directional and probe scanner" since no system scanner appear to exist in-game anymore. Reworked the text. (3) Reworked ‎Warping: section (4) In ‎Manual piloting and gunnery: removed dead links. Added a link to the official EVE Online animations on Combat Mechanics. (5) Fixed in-game changes.

The autopilot is capable of setting a route to one or more waypoint systems, and automatically flying your ship there. However it warps to all stargates at 10km,<ref>https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/warp-drive-active-warp-speed-changes-now-live</ref> so travel time is significantly greater than manual flight. You will also be a sitting duck for ship-scanners, or [[gatecamps]] if you decide to go into low-sec space with autopilot on, so for the purposes of this guide, keep it off! Besides, the whole point of this guide is that you can pilot your ship better than the computer. What the autopilot is most useful for is route-plotting.

Autopilot also continues controlling your capsule even if your ship is destroyed.
