A way too do that might be to use the load cargo button, select the planet and fighters, the use the button again and repeat the procces again and then use the drop cargo button and select the fleet and ship you want to drop the cargo at. I've found that you can give ships a list of orders and they will move down that list starting with the first one given. As for the automation thing, I don't know of a way to that. Mabye they will put that in a later patch.
