Selecting ship clears Autopilot destination

from Stardock Forums
Overall fantastic game, very enjoyable. This nitpick is a little annoying however. I see a ship with an Autopilot destination, but I don't remember where I sent it. I click on the ship and poof, destination is cleared. Aaaargh! I know you can enable the option to show all Autopilot destinations on the mini-map but it should be easier than that to figure out where a ship is going. My 2 cents ...

Yeah I agree with you on that one..
Some kind of barely visible line indicating the direction of the ship when selected would be great.

Sometimes, in biology class in ninth grade, someone would have their hand raised for a very long time before Ms. Bennett looked back and saw it. She was always writing on the board. When she finally did look back and recognize the person with their hand raised, they would sometimes have forgotten. She invariably said, "Well, it must have been a lie."

I guess the long and the short of it is, if you can't remember where or why you sent a ship, it can't be that important, can it?

What really should happen is that, if you click on a ship that had autopilot, there should be a "restore previous autopilot destination" button.

Sometimes, I try to count out the correct # of constructors I need to send to fully upgrade a starbase. There, it is important to remember the destination.
