Autopilot on 4Z

from Stardock Forums
Did anybody experience/report the autopilot not working? To me it stops ships in the middle of nothing, randomly. Happened to many ships. Also autosurvey for a starhawk stopped once. Seemed related to a specific position/loop because after moving manually worked well.
This was the only major problem.

I have this problem every game when the number of ships gets up. For me it seems to affect Constructors primarily. Although I have been noticing that when this problem is happening, other ships on Autopilot seem only to move every other turn.

I to have seen this with constructors. If I have several moving on autopilot toward a starbase 1 always seems to lose autopilot about 4 moves away.

It's been reported here and there, in many different threads. I've had it come into being for both ships and constructors, most often when I have a large number of ships that I'm trying to get to the same destination.

For me it was freighter & constructors mainly. No difference if there was only one to a destination.

Wyndomm@ker, are you reporting that they lose autopilot or that they stop moving, but are still marked autopilot, or both?

Cari,

What happens to me is that the ship will still be marked as autopilot and just not move.

If the ship is one of a group, not a fleet, that has stalled the act of taking one ship in the group off autopilot and redesignating the destination seems to break something loose and all the ships will then start moving again.
