Does time in hyperdrive pass at the same time as time in the "real" universe? If time passes more slowly in hyperdrive (the way it does in the original Macross series), then you're opening up the same can of worms that you'd be opening with STL near-lightspeed time dilation effects. If it doesn't, then you get causality paradoxes. Which issue do you want to have to deal with?
