In Hevru Hai. Heading to Alnitak. Have two unparked Arfectas in Ka'ch'chrai.
Departed, and immediately told them to hold position. They did so.
And I jumped.
They began to jump as soon as I entered the new system.
They've apparently forgotten their orders to hold position.
I was planning to investigate this and post about it just today. Had a brief look but not enough to figure it out. I was wondering if it was intentional, but I'd like to be able to have an escort hold in a system.
_Edit:_ Think it's because AI::Clean is called when you enter a new system, and as of 3478db3eb45b491ddfc89b32bf1ea900a3b29060 your escorts' orders are cleared by Clean. Still wondering if this is intentional: is there a way to select an out-of-system escort to tell them not to hold position anymore? I might mess about with this and see if there really is an 'easy' change that is indisputably better.

You can select an out-of-system escort by clicking their icon (or, if no escorts are selected, orders go to all of them).
Ah, great. I thought I noticed something odd about when I could/couldn't select an escort's icon. I'll check and if I have a question I'll raise an issue about it.
