Fleet order : intercept

I'd like to see this as well.  The current blockade option doesn't quite cut it, because it means I have to constantly check the entire map or risk someone I don't want getting deep into my systems simply because I didn't see him when he was being held for the one turn at the blockade.  I would very much like to see an interception option for fleets within a system.

Do you envisage it as a kind of patrol command (to compare it with land-based games)? You set a fleet a path between systems to patrol and it will automatically encounter any hostile (what about unknown?) fleets? 

a patrol feature wouldn't work in a turn based game, the window of action/chances of having your ship and the enemy ship stop in the same system at the same time is very low

I propose to modify the idea: you can choose to intercept any fleet or only fleets with less power than yours.

Or rather like this: If there is an enemy fleet approaching, you get a popup where you can decide to intercept them or leave them be.

I also think this would be the preferred method.

Agreed.
