Summary0022670: Combat factory drones ignore "load into transport" orders. [EDIT] - also hold fire orders.
Description1) Get a combat factory with a full complement of drones.
2) Move it to a hostile world, make sure it isn't on hold fire mode, and tell it to unload.
3) Wait until the drones engage enemy forces, then tell the factory to load in to transport.

The same situation occurs with hold fire orders:
1) Get a combat factory with a full complement of drones.
2) Move it to a hostile world, make sure it isn't on hold fire mode, and tell it to unload.
3) Wait until the drones engage enemy forces, then put the fleet into hold-fire mode.

Expected behaviour: In both cases, the drones should drop what they're doing and return to the combat factory.

Actual behaviour: The drones continue fighting, and will engage additional targets when their current targets are dead, until they are all destroyed or until the combat factory leaves the system. This can result in them aggroing the entire planet and getting my fleet killed.
TagsNo tags attached.

Do you have a save game so I can see exactly what you have in mind?

Select fleet 2 and issue "hold fire" and "load" orders. The drones will continue to Leeroy Jenkins the planetary defences.

I think this is no longer an issue. Can anyone confirm this works properly now?

I can confirm Drones load back into their parent when ordered to via the normal Load command.

Sweet, thanks! I thought I remembered fixing that a while back.
