Currently I cannot _align_ to a gate that leads to the next system on my route (that I set with “Set Destination”). I have no idea why. I’d like to be able to just align using that. ---

it shows on the lower left but it is disabled. He is radial clicking on the next step of the route, in the top left part of the screen . ---

If it is showing but is disabled, that may be a bug - have you tried bug reporting it? It seems unlikely that this would be ‘working as intended’… ---

So many bugs in eve, maybe I already reported it. Maybe not. Just try it. ---

I got it and not greyed out by clicking on the actual system in the route, though I just popped in and ducked out of station to test so I didn’t actually click to see what happened. Whatever you’re clicking on it seems like it’s probably referencing the system itself and not the gate to that system. ---

That was my thought as well, as the route tool shows the next _system_ to jump to, not the _gate_ to that system. > [@Sly\_Mangeiri](#): > > I’d like to be able to just align using that. Not sure if it’s helpful, but I usually align using the overview, by clicking the yellow gates. It makes travelling consistent, as I jump around from system to system like that, regardless of whether I have a route set or not. _(Just make sure you have a travel overview tab, in case you fly around in crowded high sec space with way too much other objects on your overview.)_ ---

> [@Gerard\_Amatin](#): > > That was my thought as well, as the route tool shows the next _system_ to jump to, not the gate to that system. I think it’s using on in some places and the other in some other places. It should probably either be using a mix of both or solely one or the other. ---
