Create wormhole on planet?

Probably the same reason why the moons don't crash into the planets

Because it is not on the planet. It is in the same sector. A sector is a huge amount of space, and the warp point and planet are nowhere near each other (in context of the sector). This is how you can have 10 WPs in the same sector, along with a Planet and Moons, and nothing bad happens from it (from the objects themselves, not from invading fleets

).

OK, moon is rotating around the planet. More accurately they rotate around the center of mass.
How does it look in planet-wormhole system ?

Hmmm, learn something new every day..

I've been assuming the contrary. Thanks...

I don't think wormholes/warp points in SE are intended to be 'open' by default. The graphic is just a conventional sign to track where they are located. There is some sort of drive/device implied in the actual passage, else why can't fighters warp?

If only MM would implement this explicitly so we could have 'system' ships and 'warp' ships...
