Fleet Orders should be more consistent

Having a home base and operational range for attack/defend/raid works great. All fleet orders should work the same way.
EXPLORERS
Rather than wandering all over the map, set a home base and operational range for explorers. This way I can focus my exploration efforts without manually controlling ships or dreaming of order queues.
CONSTRUCTORS
Same. I would like to set a constructor to focus its activities in a particular area. A home base and operation range. Currently, it's a pain to mouse over every base suggestion to see where it is and whether it's strategically placed. I want my constructor to build up specific star systems or regions that I can dominate.
FUEL TANKERS
Again. Would be nice to set a home base and operational range, so I can spread my fuel tankers consistently and have them focus on high traffic areas, rather than wandering all over the map responding to random calls.
I might want 3 or 4 dedicated to a short range near my home system, and 1 or 2 servicing outer systems (for example).
Edit: No reason operational range cant be UNLIMITED for those who want their ships wandering all over. Just saying.
