This is a small OXP adding an AI to the player's ship.

It adds an equipment called Auto Sun Skimmer for sale at a TL 10 or higher system.

The equipment can be primed by N (shift n) and then activated by n or disengaged by pressing n again. When activated the equipment takes control of the ship and goes to sun-skim automatically! The player has no control of the stick, but can set the speed and use torus drive or injectors.
