I just wish it would default to remaining docked; as I'm always forgetting to set that when I first create my shipyards. Then, unless the ship is a Colonizer, it invariably pops out in the wrong direction.
Granted, popping out in the right direction is a boon: as you then have the extra movement point (which you lose when the shipyard is it's own destination. However, that extra movement point is of minimal help when your ship pops out heading the complete opposite direction. Sure, I can go to all the trouble to create a Rally Point and head it there; but that's a lot of work. So, I'd just as soon the ship remains docked and simply gets added to the "Idle" list; as it's docked rather than in orbit.
In fact, the programmers can even go so far as to halt production until the ship leaves the dock; but I'm sure that concept won't go well with others.
