Perhaps Creating a Fleet could go through one of a couple of ways.
The First being you could Create a Fleet based off of an already Established fleet name.
The Second might be the possibility of creating a custom fleet name (To have to run the name through the moderators/ GM's, but have to spend (non buy-able in-game credits) that would be accrued from completing missions and/ or receiving a Commander's promotion (or more).
Fleet management:
From What games I have played, fleets in GalCom online might work better or worse with a adjustable tax rate on experience received/ credits received in completing missions or defeating enemies.
Another possibility is that defeating enemies will automatically add a percentage of points gained to the Fleet, that could be used by the Fleet Leader to purchase new items, weapons, ships, all sorts of things useful to the war effort.
The only downsides to these is someone receiving Fleet Lead that doesn't bother to log on, thereby collapsing the fleet. This might be reconciled by allowing the Higher ups within the fleet to vote on a new leader.
Just my thoughts on all this...
