Well, the description of the Converter does say that it 'decreases maneuverability'...so how about:
1) Only have three levels of Hyperspace Converters (get level 1 when you research Jacketed-Photon Engine III)

2) Hyp-Converter I reduces defense by 40%
>> Hyp-Converter II reduces defense by 60%
>> Hyp-Converter III reduces defense by 80%

3) Scratch the '-1 movement in combat' idea...if it doesn't work, no use using it.

So, is this doable?
(Or am I pressuring too much? )

Unfortunately, it will not work, Dinocat. I tried to make a "repulsion" system - Nova star, exploding and pushing ships away ... cool idea, right ?... but it does not work . If only MM sacrifice some memory requirements and use real numbers throught

Exploding stars to move ships? That wasn't my idea, I'm not following you

Also, on a completely unrelated topic...why is Emergency Propulsion available for bases? I've tried using one on a base, but it gains no movement at all - imagine building 20 starbases with emergency propulsion on them, to build a sphereworld - then being unable to move any of them from the planet that built them
