One thing I would like added, and it's a relatively small one, but vitally important in my opinion:
Scout For Enemies option for Scout Ship Fleet Subordinates.
Basically they roam around the sector you have a fleet parked in, depending on the fleets orders, and it just... looks for enemy ships. When it finds one, then the commander assigns attack orders to the fleet to combat the ship or ships the scout has found. The scout will try to maintain radar contact with the enemy ship/s and if attacked will specifically flee towards the fleet commander.
No idea how difficult that would be to implement, but it'd be nice to have patrolling fleets be a little more reactive to hostile enemies in sector. Preferably they'd just go fight whatever attacks a friendly asset in the same sector radar range be damned, but I also like the scout ship idea, because then things like the Kestrel and Jaguar would have a use in a fleet setting.
