Why isn't my platform flying to the Shattered Planet?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3386363175

Can anybody spot something wrong in the screenshot above? Platform reaches Solar System Edge, but instead of proceeding to Shattered Planet (as per it's schedule), it turns around and heads back to Aquilo.

Huh. That makes sense in retrospect; how else could you automate having a ship fly in that direction a little bit and turn turn back?

i gues :WhiteHeartRebirth3: This is probably because you moved from A to B, but your platform always starts from the starting planet in automatic mode ( you may need 3 stops / Aquilo - Solar System Edge - Shattered Planet )

Exactly. There is also a small hint for this different behaviour in the schedule. All the other planets in the schedules have a button for adding a wait condition while the shattered planet has a button for adding a fly condition.
