Presumably ripping a hole in the material universe to jump in would
cause some kind of detectable emmission?
 
I'm not sure I remember how GZG canon describes warp space jumps. Is it
like star trek or starwars where ship travel takes time and ships
therefor have sensors that can detect other objects in the hyperspace
environment and possible in real space while in hyperspace? Or is it
some kind of instant blind jump where it's a pop in and out maybe like
BSG and it's all down to really complicated maths to predict the
location of every knowm object in the target system and there's no
detection?
 
Is it possible for a ship in real space to detect an object in
hyperspace? If so does this create a submarine warfare kind of effect?
 
If so it makes all the discussions about real space detection rather
moot.
 
Unless ships can jump relatively close to their destination it will take
them month's  or years to get to an inner planet in a way that matches
velocity with the target planet. Vast amounts of reaction mass would be
needed to accelerate a ship and then deccelerate it at the other end of
the journey.
