Starfield Fans Are Loving New Autopilot Mod

The mod, which is called Astrogate, was released on NexusMods on May 26th, but is just now getting love from the game’s subreddit.

According to the mod’s official description, Astrogate gives the player more control over their spaceship by adding new features such as Supercruise, Autopilot, Inter-Subsystem Travel, and more.

The Supercruise feature allows players to travel through the galaxy at a speed of their choice. While the Autopilot works as you’d expect, it lets you travel through space without having to be in the pilot seat and can even be combined with Supercruise to achieve specifc speeds whilst you walk around your ship.

And Distance, which will make the player’s ship travel a specific distance in Light-seconds of your choosing and will stop once the distance is reached.
