Topic: Pathfinding (should take advantage of electromagnetic strips)

On Attalica, set yourself on Radholme Outpost, target Radholme West as destination.
The path is set next to the electromagnetic strip, while moving over the strip would be 60% faster.

Why does not the pathfinder take advantage of the benefits the strip offers?

Because it was not yet set to do it. And people are divided should it have this functionality.

It's probably good balance, since manually driving get's you places faster. But, most of the island need serious highway work, since manually driving is almost never faster right now anyway.
