Personally, I like it. I haven't had any problems with it messing with any of my maneuvers and I appreciate the ability to provide a stable shooting platform for gunners. Only one gripe: the leveling out is nice, but the ship still tends to float off in the direction it was previously corrected from. If you could cancel the minute momentum after leveling out under a low threshold or add some sort of break, I wouldn't mind seeing this feature on my Python or Eryx as well (once they're back, that is).
Any other pilots have opinions on it?
P.S. To see how well this works, fly up to the ceiling with an afterburner, do a half flip and, while upside, let it auto correct.

Why's that? I've never had any problems with it as far a getting in the way of me flying.

What is the point of anyone becoming a "Pilot" in dust, if every anti-social sniper can just call in a cheap disposable auto-pilot dropship to get to their hiding place on their own?
And besides all of that: It's just not necessary. Flying the dropships is not that hard. It takes some getting the hang of, but if you are not able to level your dropship yourself, that's when you should be asking a pilot to help you.
Please CCP, remove the training wheels.
You're right, flying from point A to B is not that hard, which is why I'd rather let them do it themselves so I don't have to be taken away from hot dropping, supporting, or spotting for my team. Not to mention there are far more skilled maneuvers and tactics than A-to-B flying and standing still, keeping dedicated pilots valuable.
This is not auto-pilot or a way to instantly save your ship if you are terrible at maneuvering. All it does is level your ship out after a few seconds, far too long to prevent any sort of catastrophic impact automatically. It's just a simple fix it a small, but irritating pain in the neck.
