Too bad they go off for anything. Including that hull-with-engines escort sent explicitly to trigger it before the main fleet comes through.

They only go off *if* the escort makes it to the system successfully. If the escort is destroyed at a wormhole battle, the sentry order will not go off. There are, of course, complications with this: putting an armada in a system that is to be destroyed is self-defeating, and Warp Openers can ruin your day.

There is no drawback involved if the enemy is already in the system though, unless perhaps if they were to engage their cloak (but then, you should really have sensors to detect them).
