The most annoying thing is that orders clear when enemy ships are encountered.

I can't think of a single instance where it is advantageous for your orders to clear, other than if you want the ship to chase the enemy.

Example : One lone enemy scout enters my system. All my transports, warships, etc. lose their orders and repeat orders.

How do I turn this off?
