Exactly,
it should also cost more in supplies and take longer than just going through a wormhole.
Therefore there shouldn't be any wormholes at the start of the game (maybe some rarity here and there) because it would unbalance it a great deal - warpdrive is almost pointlessless if you have access to wormholes. Also wormhole technology (Stellar Manipulation) would be worth even more.
Haven't you seen "Farscape"?
