It would be nice if this order could be split into two. With the first order (called "Refine ores"), the ship would dock to the refinery, pick up finished resources if there are any (as it does now), but would not wait for the ores it brought to be refined. Instead, it would move on to the next order (or just stop if there is none).
With the second order, the ship would dock to the refinery and just pick up refined resources if there are any, but if the refinery is still refining, the ship would wait for it to finish and pick the resources when they are ready.
This would be particularly useful for mining carriers with a lot of fighters and a large cargo hold, which are very expensive and it's efficient to send them back to mining right after they have left ores at a refinery. This can be done manually, but if this suggestion is implemented, players will be able to automate it.
Thanks in advance for considering!
P.S. alternative:
-leave the "Refine ores" order as is
-new order "Leave ores for refining" that would be similar, but the ship would move on to next order instead of waiting for ores to be refined
