I like the way fleets are created in stars.
Just give a ship or fleet the order to join another distant fleet or ship. When it catches up, it is added to the fleet.

I like that as well. In fact I wish you could have orders to catch up and join a fleet in SE4. What I don't like is the simplicity of the battle orders that you give to those fleets.
