How do you all use orders?

Ok so here is a question for you all - how do you actually use orders?
I'll give you a few examples:
1) My transports / freighters which sell stuff - they get orders to pickup stuff at my production center then go to city A to sell, come back, pickup, go to city B etc... cycling through 5-6 different cities each which makes it about 21-25 orders per unit, assuming things are simple (more and more, they are not)
2) Scouts - my favorite little units. They also have the longest order list. Basically they have a holding command list (which puts them in a holding pattern, whatever that might be) and then different "mission" sets orders e.g. picking up some artifact or deploying an ACP or even trading if that's what I feel like. Every mission loops back to the holding command list and then whenever I need them to do something I simply activate the relevant order and voila!
Pure combat units though - they seem to just sit around until I need them to actually do something. Kinda boring :p
How do you guys use orders? How long are your orders lists?
Just curious  I am sure there are a lot more things which I've not yet thought of that can be done with the loop orders!

I don't go back and forth to where my production is happening, I actually pick up a huge amount of Wheat in Memphis and drop up chuncks around 4-5 cities then head back in a big circle.
because there isn't much combat at all right now, the military sits around also, although you can make them a group with some freighters and they can escort convoy.

I'm in the process of changing mine up reacting to the new distribution centers. Basically I have shuttles that move back and forth between cities both selling products and bringing raw materials. My military units are just guard location.
