Just a thought: If we understood Gravity and could in fact build "Gravity Plating" could we not build a ship that has it in the haul design and tie it into a gyroscope that would feed power to the plating in the opposite direction of the "G-Forces" at work on the ship?
Gravity is the only "Field" I know of that pulls on every particle at the same time and at the same rate. This would act as an "Inertial Dampener" as described in the series and many others wouldn't it?
