Actually, AIs could defend planets instead of warp points. Of course it's tougher to protect

Exactly my point. The AI is already at a disadvantage against a thinking opponent, to begin with.

Again, I'd be willing to try it, but it seems to me that it gives the attacker a potentially decisive advantage, even in MP. In a simultaneous turns game, SE5's current movement order scheme makes it difficult enough to bring separately located fleets together in one turn for a concerted effort. It's easy to end up with individual small fleets attacking the enemy separately on a given turn, when you wanted to have them join and attack together. I can envision that FTL capability would simply exploit this.
