I am sometimes unable to select fleets traveling...

I have similar problem. Fleets close to stars are difficult to select. Enemy fleets are even more spotty on when you can select them, but generally only seem clickable when out in the middle of nowhere; when they get within a turn or so of a system, they become unselectable.

This is a minor nuisance. The only way around this that I've found is to rotate the star-map just right so you can select the planet. It seems the devs gave the fleets a larger and/or high priority selection box than planets.

In the case I complained about, the fleet was so close, that it was impossible t select the planet until the next turn, no matter how I rotated the map.

In a case like this, next time use the planetary list to select/view system/world. You can manipulate them in that window just like you could from starmap. ;) Hope that helps. If you just want to orient the map, double click or middle mouse click (if you have that option setup). If you need to issue orders to that system (for a fleet), use the center option I suggested and zoom in super close (as in all the way if you must) right click and select from menu. So far no fleet as blocked me from doing anything. Hope that helps for ya.
