As you probably know we've recently released an experimental version of the new update. That update already contains most of the features that will be available in v0.10.x, but we actually still continue working on that version and one of the latest features pushed in v0.10.x is the autopilot. You can use it to navigate both a system map and travel long distances on the starmap. Below you can see our work in progress of the system. To travel to a different star system you simply need to select it and activate the autopilot. It will then build a course and fly your ship to a specified destination automatically.

And as usual, let us know what you think of that addition on our forums!
