It would be awesome if we could set our default maneuver orders in Settings and have them saved from game to game.

Thanks!

+100 I always have to set ships to hold position, and often set kbots and planes to the same.

You can already do this (and a lot more), with LuaUI.
Here's a cryptic post that shows how it can be done:

As demonstrated in that post, not only can you set the
movestate for units when they are created, but you can
also queue commands (like having builders guard their
factory of origin).

My first LuaUI example release will contain some of
these unit creation hooks. I may be able to make them a
little more user friendly by adding them as options in the
LuaUI configuration panel.

You can also set it at the factory, ya know...
