Strange behavior from ship's Captain.

[Musicker]

Hey there all,

I've seen very odd behavior from my ship's "Captain" or pilot so far. Maybe it's because she is so inexperienced, but it's still pretty strange.

A couple days ago, I wanted to travel from Argon Prime to a different location.. I think it was a station in BHS IV. So, I right-clicked the station and chose "Start Guidance to object."

I also wanted to see how my NPC pilot performed, so I got up and let her take over, then "Talked" to her and told her to proceed with current orders. She undocked from the station I was at, and started flying the correct direction, however she went right past where she was supposed to turn off to go to the station, and kept flying south. I was curious, so I let her continue.. she ended up flying all the way to my original station, flew all the way through the station, hitting (and warping through) every wall, as well as the rock in the middle. Then she flew a short distance past the other side of the station, stopped, and said "Awaiting orders"..

Not exactly the orders I had laid out. I just tried again, to get her to fly to a location in a Paranid sector, and she did the same exact thing. I stopped her before she got all the way to the sector my original station is in though, as I didn't want to spend the time to see the same behavior acted out.

I'm curious if anyone else has tried this, and if they got the same behavior from the NPC pilot of the ship they are currently in.

Cheers,
