Load cargo order is missing

Describe what is missing
In Stars! there were load and unload cargo orders. Nova has an unload order that doesn't work and you have to manually transfer.

How did it work? these were waypoint tasks.
Example:
you could tell a ship to fly to your HW(in this example Memnon) then assign as that waypoint task: Load Cargo, then the cargo picker box appears and you select population is what to load.
then fly back to Posterior and drop cargo (drop cargo should also prompt you to tell it what cargo you want to drop)

Here is the list of currently available waypoint tasks. Drop cargo seems to always drop 0 instead of asking you how much to drop.

why is this so important? Stars! doesn't do Empire-wide resource pools. Each planet has it's own stockpile of minerals to use in construction projects, and players need freighters(or mass drivers) to relocate minerals. Especially in cases where a mineral is scarce at that location.
