Geo, just one final clarification, if you would: if I don't explicitly give the order to go through a particular wormhole, but instead just say "go to location x,y in system A", what happens if one of the warp points that was along the path is shut? Does the computer reroute since I didn't specify a wormhole, or does my movement order select certain wormholes and when one is closed, the ship stops? Oh, and does it stop at the closed hole, or just stop from the beginning because there is not hope of reaching the destination?
After each movement point is used, the shortest path distance is recalculated.
If your order is to move to X,Y in System S, that is where you will head for, no matter what the terrain. (Unless all known warppoint to the system are closed, or something similarily major occurs)

Repair takes place after your turn ends, and before the next players turn in sequential mode.
You'll only get your manipulators repaired once per turn.
With multiple SM ships, it is entirely possible to open and close a warppoint repeatedly during a turn. You just have to time your ships' arrivals to happen sequentially and in the right order.
