a working example as requested. the red planets are evil (the attackers) the blue planets are the various in gal and alliance defenders who have already launched
the black lines are the original travel vectors of the enemy
the blue lines are the orgiinal travel vectors of the friends
the ref line are the redirected travel vectors of the enemy
the gold lines are the redirected travel vectors of the friends

clearly, and undeniably, with this example you cna see that the travel limitation of alliance defence and gal defense is irrelevant, it is a reassignment of fleets already flying that will determine the various outcomes
