Default Task forces

A few months ago I was reading a sci-fi book series by David Weber and Steve White. I think someone posted that the books and the game were connected. One of the things that was interesting that was in the book was a system that would allow ships to electronically link together and work as a single force. I thought it would be neat to have such a device in SEIV. It could be a small device (10-30kt), and you would have and option button, somewhere, that would let you chose which ships to link into a team. On the combat screen the ships or stations could be stacked like fighters and there weapons would fire together as one. I've been getting tired of haveing to move huge fleets around the combat screen. Either a component as mentioned above or an option somewhere would be nice to have. Any opinions?
