As for "escaping" the supernova, unlikely, it blasts out at the speed of light.
Well, we are getting into a discussion about what it realistic or not in game terms, which is problematic. But if you assume that the warp points are at least as far from the sun as Pluto then even traveling at light speed the shockwave would take over 5 hours to reach the warp point. It's not unreasonable to say that it wouldn't take that long for a fleet to enter a warp point.
Yep, lets stay on topic.

The ship in the example was a very early build, but I assume that the escaping fleet must have had a ship built earlier? Does this mean we should keep our earliest ships and retro them up to stay with our important fleets so that the entire fleet moves first on in that critical second day everyone moves stage?
