I was curious if it would be possible to add 'H'old to the list of commands. They would then seek the nearest planet and wait in safety until called back into formation?

Well, you can manually do that.

It is possible yes, you need to code some script, but it is definitely possible

Perhaps if bobby wishes to add it to his UG wingmen mod, I have an (unfinished) auton base class that adds some extra commands, as well as nesting (one auton to rule them all)

Yes, but having a command to do it quickly and rather easily is preferable to trying to line up 3 mules, 8 autons and a wing-man. It tends to take me a while, which wastes fuel, which wastes money............

With very little understanding, scripting it would be a monumental task. But I will try i guess :)

Actually, from my limited knowledge of script, it shouldn't be too hard to make a fairly rudimentary script that allows it to be done (ie, search for nearest planet, and go to the location of the planet, and wait for orders there)
