Annoyance factor: Through the roof!
Saved game:
2nd Fleet is in pursuit of a Hive Ship (Dark Sting). My fleet is able to follow it and even catch up to it, and is doing so currently. Suddenly, one of 2nd Fleet’s ship - [STUPID] Shield of Nar Shaddos - has decided that it needs fuel (it doesn’t; see screenshots), and stops, waiting for the tankers!
Here’s a screenshot (close-up) of the pursuit (look at it’s fuel gauge, and then look at the 2nd screnshot below):

And here’s a zoom-out view of the situation:

Hopefully, it’s the only ship that will do that. If others do, that will likely be the end of that game...
Please, add a tactical setting for fleets, allowing the player to tell a fleet on a critical mission to not stop for fuel, unless manually ordered to do so (instead of having to change the refueling policies for all fleets because of one (hopefully only one) moronic ship).
