Now that autopilot is relatively fixed. I think it's possible for them to avoid planets. However I don't have the programming chops to do it.
By detecting natural gravity and the gravity vector the a cargo ship could be automatically pointed in the opposite direction of gravity. Hydrogen thrusters could be fired and set the ship heading away from the planet.
I think WICO already has a script that controls planetary launches. Could this script be adapted to avoid falling into...
