Not really a necessary feature, but it would be very useful to have, so you can see where all fleets are going in the system in real time rather than having to open and close the system map repeatedly to see where their icon is headed, and ofc, you can chose to pause in this map just as you can pause in the tactical overview in battle.

Maybe make it so you can put pings on specific fleets so that whenever they do something of importance you'd get a notification or somethin in your feed

I second (third?) ValkyriaL's idea. :)

Please do this. I tried to un-pause on the map screen during a long fleet travel, but I had to resort to opening and closing the map multiple times over to get a "live" effect.
Also, may I suggest a fast forward toggle button? My shift key finger gets tired easily.

As far as i know the sector/system maps are currently mostly 'placeholders'. So there is a possibility to a major change to everything in this regard, including fleet vectors and other stuff (probably even hidden systems, fleets etc.).
