Changing the image of the wormhole to make it look like a storm could work until the player tries to warp through
3) Dummy warppoints If there are 25 storms in a system, and only 3 of them are actually warppoints, it will take players longer to figure out which is which.
#1 That works and combine it with lots of Hostle Systems that move and crunch ships it would take a well armored ship with full tank of gas and high speed to make it through. Mabye a early push toward stellar manip but that would be a serious gamble.

#'s 2 and 3, If you created Look a likes you would have to change the decription or they would be discoverd by clicking on each sector.
Dummys would be discovered the same way.
(or am I missing someting)
