^^ So much yes.
This would allow solving things like tankers dropping fuel in very inopportune places, or requiring me to intervene personally. Instead I could save the correct template, collect fuel/ores from ship/colony and deliver to specific colony, perhaps not even in the same system.
That it would be case by case is a small nuisance of micro, to gain a huge savings in ongoing micro that no longer needs to occur.
You could give those same ships a run like hell order chain that is direct path to the nearest maintenance yards, a place your likely to have warships, triggered via detected hostiles.
