All seconded, very strongly. A certain tolerance for the relative position and disallowing mutually exclusive orders (two ships, accidentally each trying to be above the other) should make it easier on the servers.
Orientation relative to target would also be an obvious addition to postional orders, so ships could fly back-to-back or at other angles.
Locked position during warp is a great idea. You would need to have same-grade warp tech on each ship OR, simpler, just require nominal tractor beam capability on the lead ship and leave it at that.
