It is doable, even possible to make it randomised. I do not know a whole lot about Lua, but I was able to cobble together something by modifying the randomcontact script which resulted in the convoy mod I made awile back. It is not perfect, infact I had to make a lot of workarounds/shortcuts to get it working since I am not the best LUA scripter around, but it does work. Most of the time it involves random fleets passing by, but it is not very hard to find factionally opposed fleets meeting and fighting.
Given, fleet engagements are and probably should be pretty rare, both for realism and balance reasons.

I used GIMP with dds plugin. Worked like a charm, no issues with it.
