Ruatha, Thank you for your thoughtful reply. So, it sounds like I can also make use of your insights on offense: I don't need to wait for a wormhole to form -- I can form it and fly through it on the same turn, by either ordering an intercept of a fleet in the system I'm opening the WH to, or simply ordering my fleet to move there. The fleet will just take the more direct route through the hole, right?
Related question: will ships en route also adapt their paths to make use of new wormholes or route around old ones?
