Here are the auto waypoint rules:
Ships that have a waypoint setting greater than 0 LY are not effected by the auto function.
The auto waypoint settings only take effect when your ship has
its main waypoint set to zero light years.
Changes to your waypoint, mission, friendly code and the performing of tasks only takes place when you press start on the AUTO window. ( You access this window from your main race window )
When a ship has a waypoint of 0 LY and the Auto function is used the ship will set its waypoint to go to the location of the top auto waypoint on the list that is turned on.
