I used to make Tour of the Galaxy from time to time. Not more possible: you give a system as direction and the ship begins to travel erratically in sector space. Bad. Baad. Very bad.
I actually never had problems with auto-travel until last week. Especially in the Alpha Quadrant. There are days when it is working fine and others where all it does is take you to the edge of the zone... and sometimes not even in the right general direction.
I've seen several people bring up this bug recently. It's not specific to the KDF or Feds. My testing leads me to believe that it depends on the vertical angle of your destination relative to your ship. See my comments in the threads below.
Yeah, it looks like it starts, and the ship can't figure out which way to turn, so it keeps going straight ahead, at half speed, like when it's navigating when auto travel works.

To the dev looking at autonav...
Auto Travel sometimes fails, since Season 13
