Ordering AI to drop satellites or beacons?

[Wired]

Is there a way to order your AI ships to drop satellites or beacons to save me flying around to every station to drop them?

If not, is there any point on leaving the default consumables on mining ships you plan on using as auto-miners?

Yeah, assuming they have the respective deployable in their cargo, select the ship you want and right click anywhere on the map, deploy satellite...

Edit: You can chain commands, hold shift iirc.

No need to hold shift. Orders are automatically chained. Actually, I would prefer if you did have to hold shift. I hate having to manually clear commands when I don't want orders chained.
