Waypoint/navtarget hijacked by mission

Dec 25, 2010 David Flory link
I have repeatedly been driven wacko by VO hijacking my navtarget in a Hive Skirmish. Several times, I have been invited to join a group working a Leviathan. I have tried to navigate to a nearby station to get the proper equipment/ship. I set up nav points to the station and make a jump and am deposited in the Levi sector and die. If we properly set navpoints they should not be hijacked by the mission. I have also taken a mission and wanted to pick up an item on the way, like a radar extender for a mission in a storm and been hijacked right into the storm. I launch before I try to change my waypoints as I've learned that if I try to change them in station, by waypoints are ignored. _sometimes_ they work when done in space.

Bump. If this is a feature for some reason, make it go away. Never used to happen.

If your in a skirmish mission the navroute is auto set as soon as you leave the station for the skirmish sector. It is a feature for the convienence of most players.

It would be nice if the auto plot could be user selectable so you could route araound storms etc.

I agree PaK, but it's annoying to say plot around a storm back to the skirmish mission and then
upon undocking having your route reset. If I reset the route after undocking it will stick.

+1 to the auto plot being selectable.
