See, I had a simpler explanation to myself why ship on a warp point has an initiative advantage. Either the "warp" capability of the engines is separate from the movemement capability, or the ship is in some "non-real-space" or some such technobabble. Whatever, exiting a warp point put the ship or it's crew unaware or unable to react.

Modeling shoreleave to improve crew effectiveness at a small penalty of having the ship ready would be a great addition to the game, however. For all ships, not just those that partol warp points, ships on a long trip would also benefit.
