With the amount of time it takes to research higher warp factors it would take longer than two weeks. Also new warp signatures makes tracing those attacks easier.
The only issue would be star gates, as they can allow an attacker to appear from anywhere once they have an established setup of ringworlds and preons.
This is then made far worse with far off galactic plane hiding, which I still say should just be removed/blocked. Nothing good will come from a infinite galaxy, let alone 19 of them. If a player can fly for a month at warp9 into the void, find a ringworld and then build a base that can never ever be found, we will never be able to counter it.
