Bu**er.
Another great idea done in by (fictional) reality.
Just have to select the PSB you want to follow. So if the K'V are using gravity assist to accelerate their projectiles, what's to say that the humans haven't come up with some sort of gravity "screen" to help deflect them as you described earlier? They probably have, after all, some sort of artificial gravity on board the ships already, so there's precedence for generating gravity fields even with human tech.
