Default Re: "Wait a second" command

I would love to see this (outside of combat). It would make queueing orders so much more powerful if you could say

move to X
wait 1 turn
load troops
move to Y
drop troops
repeat

I also hate the way your orders are erased if the ship in question runs out of cargo space and is ordered to pick up more.

Finally, I would love it if the "resupply / repair at nearest" orders were resolved at the time they are carried out, not the time they are issued.

And don't get me started on boolean operators for order queues... Just imagine things like

"IF (sats on "planet Y" >=300kt) AND (supplies on "Ship Z" >=2000) AND (Enemy presence in system A = "NONE") THEN load sats (Ship Z, Planet Y)"

Think I might have to wait for SEV for that one=-)
