Taking notice of the Previous comments, It's fair enough to say that this is an Alien Civilisation on an Alien Planet. It's a likely possibility that they haven't considered a slingshot manuver as a viable way to increase spcecraft speed.

In order for a slingshot manuver to take place, however, the spacecraft in question would have to be somewhat close to the Atmosphere of the stellar object (assuming it HAS an atmosphere). The Precursors have no known spaceworthy technology (by the time of writing, I am not sure. though it is safe to assume they do because... well.. they have a giant gun that can shoot down anything remotely close to the atmosphere. Kinda screams 'Spacefaring Race' to me), However, It is safe to assume that, if they do have spaceworthy technology and Interstellar travel, Much like the Warpgates, They would have no need for slingshot manuvers or cryostasis or any of the... "Near" future ways of extrasolar travel. This would probably make them think that a slingshot manuver, again, assuming they know OF it, is an unnesacary risk and just brush it off.

This is all hypothetical though, as most things are.
