Fleet behavior issues and suggestions

Gatecrash

When followed by a ship in escort mode, passing through a gate or wormhole, the following ship will immediately jump after you, spawning almost in the exact position that you are currently occupying, causing the ships to crash into each other. Maybe following ships should spawn in random positions spaced out around the gate to avoid this.

 

Fleet management and  map obstruction

When you click on a sector on the map with multiple ships, the ship icons and order buttons will appear right underneath the sector, obscuring possible target locations beneath. Sometimes you can't order your fleet to move to a certain obscured sector, or only part of your fleet will jump, because clicking on an obscured sector will deselect the ship icon above. I think the ship and order buttons should appear in a fixed position or box  in a corner of the screen, when clicking on a sector.

There's a tip about holding Ctrl while directing the orders, which moves the icons aside to circumvent this specific issue.

Thanks! This helped me out a lot. And as long as I can do it now, no complaints from me. Though a more intuitive solution would be surely beneficial to new players.
