Description
When giving ships multiple orders that deal with cargo where the ship would take more than one turn to execute, the ship will execute one order and will appear in the next turn with an empty order cue. This is very annoying when trying to populate colonies and move multiple items around.

I think I read somwhere the bug is in fact caused by the ship trying to unload the cargo one hex before it's destination.

I've tried to place mines remotely, and had them deploy one hex before the destination on two separate occasions. Maybe part of the same bug?

Re: Remote Cargo orders clear after one turn
For me, the "Drop Cargo Remotely" order does not work correctly under any circumstance. It doesn't matter if it is part of an order queue or not.
If I hit "O" on the keyboard and send a cargo ship to pick up e.g. population, the order executes just fine. If I then hit "K" to drop off the cargo, the ship will travel to the correct destination, but will not drop the cargo. Issuing the "Drop Cargo Remotely" order again and selecting the hex that the ship already occupies DOES drop the cargo. The problem seems to be that the ship clears its orders after moving, but before dropping the cargo.
If the "Drop Cargo Remotely" order is part of a queue, the ship moves to the correct destination, but does not drop the cargo AND clears the rest of its orders. Again, it looks like the ship is clearing orders after moving, but before dropping the cargo.
