Currently the help on ship paths says: "You may store up to 10 paths per level
of your navigator."
I claim that this should be increased, perhaps to 15 at least.
Why? The same functionality can be done using aliases (in fact, they are even
better for it than the "paths" since they can be chained - something paths
can't do). Or, a script could be made that would provide the ultimate
solution.
Instead of having a very low artificial limit that makes the whole feature
rather useless why not increase the limit? Make it depend on something or cost
something if need. As it stands currently I see no reason to use this feature
since it is too limited.
