1) Hyperspace inhibitors work by creating an artificial gravity well, one that is very dangerous to living critters. Probably normal matter, too -- but who cares? The incoming bullets are going elsewhere

2) You can't do that on strikecraft, they just won't have enough power. You'd need a full hyperdrive for that, too.

3) Range. You'd do this fairly close to the generating ship's hull.

4) I hadn't thought of that...I'm going to hazard a guess here and say that on a moving target it's very unlikely to work. Will ponder more.

On 4. Perhaps the soldier's powered armour can function as a vessel for hyper transit.

Beyond the reach of present understanding of HS, though, not to mention the effects of instability caused by gravwells (which as stated above - we don't care if some offending round of enemy ammunition flies into an unstable wormhole).

2. is downright cheesy.

2) Due to the probably gravity well presence, the ammunition would implode mid-flight.

3) The range is no limiting factor for preventing hyperspace, as usually range of hyperspace modules on capital ships range from nearly 10,000m in diameter (or 1,000,000m for realistic range). However, creating a jump gate inside a ship is a major drain on ships. If assigned to a capital ship (even one), then the capital ships would lose a great deal of its own energy to activate the HSD field leaving it vulnerable. DEWs will even be limited as keeping a hyperspace gate open in one position for a terribly large amount of time (almost 5 minutes) would be inevitably dangerous to the crew. And the Hiigarans are not favorite of objectives-over-life, so dedicating ships to merely sit there and generate jump gates will probably never pass. Generating a hyperspace gate within a ship is indeed, a great weapon, but it has to be constant in order to deal its damage. It is not simply a 5-second weapon. And that fact that ships are moving will greatly hamper the hyperspace weapon, as it would have to regenerate a gate, which is a hefty cost of energy in its ownself.

4) You'd die in the progress I'm afraid. This is almost the same way refineries send their resources back to the mothership. However, you'd come out as a stream of atoms and the wormhole is about as big as your fist.

The issue in this personnel transit thing is twofold - stability and targeting. You're likely to see some gruesome scenes if you don't consider them. Thus in short, unworkable.

Not to mention the fact that if there were gravity wells present. Which is occasionally an "always" for capital ships. And you'd never want to capture a frigate anyways.

Can you think of the precision involved? Even a slight miscalculation might warp the marine into a very bad position... say halfway through a wall or into the fusion reactors.

The wavefront can engulf rounds because they do not have to be 100% accurate. We're not talking about having a waveform conformed to each and every bullet, we're talking about having a sort of "net" to "catch" bullets. Marines, on the other hand, have to be inserted one at a time.

First off, hyperspace is nearly instananeous, but not quite. And a ship is moving at 100m/s at the least. Now you're thinking about transferring a marine onto a moving ship without problems? The risks are nearly endless, and I don't really know the extent of the computing power, but I'd say that's a pretty daunting task. And not just 1 or 10 marines, but nearly three dozen marines. I'd sincerely doubt there would be no hitchs involved.

However therein lies the problem that this hyperspace option can not be used for if in the presence of a gravity well.

I would like to point out that the hyperspace defense field generator is a SEPARATE unit from the HYPERDRIVE. It does generate hyperspace wavestuff, but at very low levels so you have very little power usage compared to a full-blown hyperspace jump. Since you don't need to target the other end, the navigational aspect of it is also moot.
