151 +Docked - Orders all subordinates in the specified group to dock and ignore all targets (% class="text-italics" %)//including their commanders' attackers//(%%). Does not affect ships that are unable to dock at their commander.
152 + Launched - Orders all subordinates in the specified group to act on their specified behavior. (Note that for fighters subordinate to a carrier, this may mean that they stay docked at their commander.)
