I usually try to close access to critical warppoints while creating a "net" for fast fleet transfers. Works pretty well unless your opponents also developed stellar manipulation.

If I ever feel the need to secure a warppoint, a base with added production ability is my way to go; nothing says "keep out" like a self-replenshing field of satellites/swarm of fighters.

Then again, most of the time I just keep a fleet handy to go after whatever the wormhole dragged in.

I'll experiment with drones a bit next time.
