It seems to me, that assuming the players are playing fairly (the only
kind to
play with!), Admiral Y can't move fleet B in fleet A's direction until
the
courier arrives.

Essentially, a fleet can not respond to a threat until it recieves word
of it.
With couriers, that means you have to track which systems the courier
passes
through, and only be able to activate those units it passes.
