Considering the effort required to make sure that hundreds of spaceship fold drives were perfectly synchronized, then add to that the precise calculations needed to plop that sphere around another star, potentially thousands of light years away without impinging upon the orbits of the innermost two worlds? I doubt you'll see a greater feat of spacemanship than that for some time to come.
