Same goes for the scouts, once built they could could auto explore (instead of pressing the "E" button).

actually i think that's a step too far. most people want complete control over scouts, since if they go explore on their own they are just gonna get captured/killed.

i believe the original poster of this topic stated,
1. "Why can't I see the route of the rally point from the shipyard to the destination?" (this question has not been answered)
and
2. "something about miner mining" - this question has been answered already in this topic

Oh, is that what he was asking? In that case:
Only the final destination is shown, due to the number of routes that could be taken. The reason I don't like rally points is sometimes when I build a number of ships from the same yard and rally them somewhere, half the time they go different directions to reach their destination, which makes hunting down some of your ships when you need them difficult if they stray into a nebula. (usually they don't get stuck there though, unless they run into an asteroid field or something)

This would be pretty bad - I never ever use auto explore and I think that goes for most of the people. It's simply a useless order since your scout usually explores 5minutes your own base and then flies into the next nebula or likes to hang around at an asteroid field .
