Unless its urgent, I'd want these ships to fly along with my fleet so I don't have to worry about their range so much when re-basing.
One thing I wish the game did tho was to recognize an actual hierarchy between sub-fleets and their mother fleet and have a chain of command extend down to their. I also wish you could keep these fleets chained even when separated, so the Admiral in charge of the main Carrier group is also the superior of the Vice-Admirals detached Beam Ship wolfpack and the Commodore's Fleet Support Group. Make it so the effect only works if these groups are all in the same system.
