I end up with dozens of tiny fleets scattered across my empire patroling or just camping on trade routes. It clutters up my Outliner tab something fierce and closing my military fleets section makes it harder to do anything with my main fleets. So suggestion: please let us flag fleets as "patrol fleet" by clicking on a new "flag as patrol fleet" button next to the "patrol" button.
This would have no gameplay effect other than moving these fleets to their own separate tab in my Outliner - "Patrol Fleets" which i could minimize and forget about. You should probably let us pick if we want the fleets flagged that way, but you could have it be set up so any fleet that is "patrolling" would automatically count as a "patrol fleet", though I would prefer to choose because sometimes i just camp single corvettes somewhere and that works better than actually patrolling.
