Adding new option. For fleets on routes or traveling, Ship lookout observes a ship in the distance.
"Ship Ahoy!"
Captain asks "What colors she bears?"
Lookout "XXXXX Enemy ship ahoy"
Captain "Prepare for Skirmish men!

fleets skirmish each other.
The ships will be identified through the player's enemy list.

I can see this working if you have a power fleet set to use it, running with auto-danger off or a TF on... but even then, I would prefer some control over when and how many times it strikes particular targets... with auto-stop on, you'll just end up reaching the first port and then skirmishing there until you lose the danger gained, so no real trade benefit for that fleet... with auto-stop off, you could soon run into a lot of trouble both with excess danger on the fleet and any losses depleting your purse whilst you aint watching.. also having your turns burnt thru very fast as well.. another point would be damage repairs between hits ?
