146 -Subordinate group modes:
147 - Attack - Ships will attack their commander's target.
148 - Intercept - Ships will attack any hostile non-capital ships that come into their operational range*.
149 - Defend - Prior escort behavior before new modes were implemented. Think of this as automatic mode. Subordinate behavior depends a lot on what their commander is doing at the time.

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.)
153 - On those last two, please note the bug acknowledged in the post right above this one. You should get the fix for that bug in a future update.
