You can load and jump, but not unload unless you use routes.

You cannot do it without routes so there's no need to try and figure out
the group number.

Also, in earlier versions of Galaxy, ships at the end of routes would unload
before production happened.  This means that using routes gave you an
advantage over doing it manually by wating until the next turn and giving
the unload command.  Newer versions of Galaxy do the auto-unload after
production, so doing it by hand on the next turn is just as good as using
routes.

Another point about routes: if you have a route for COL set up from planet
A to B, then all cargo ships at B filled with COL will be unloaded no
mater where they came from or how they got there.  You can use this make
ships auto-unload by setting up fake routes.  This is useful if you are
playing one of the earlier versions of Galaxy were this buys you an
extra turn of production.
