so unless there's a technobabble explaination why a warping ship shouldn't fire first, the attacker should always have the initiative.

Actually I am of the opposite opinion, and I don't think it's technobabble.

I think initiative should go to the forces waiting at the end of the wormhole because they know precisly which direction the other ships are coming from. The "attackers" coming through the wormhole have to locate the enemy and bring weapons to bear upon re-entering real space.

Even if you don't know exactly when the enemies is going to pop out, if you have your gun out and pointed in the direction he is coming from, it takes less time for you to pull the trigger than it does for him to find you and then shoot back. IMHO
