Apparently, capital ships can finally maneuver in combat

It's 2500 meters per second, not kilometres per hour.

And slowing down to 300 m/s in 5 sek would result in around 44 G. That's should be manageable around 3300.

But afaik in this case, we riding on the super cruise shock wave and may benefiting from it's effects in this case of (de-)acceleration.

Erm. This to me looks more like the 'dancing/multiple cap ships' bugs that plagued the early multiplayer alphas, rather than any actual NPC control of the cap ships. Seen the one at Merope stuck in the ground, and seen the one at Palin's base in Maia just pointing directly at the base for some reason, as well, so they just appear bugged to me right now.

That's what I figure as well, we're still just using the warp drive and not actually experiencing the full brunt of the G-forces. Fancy flight suit or not 40+ G is enough to seriously injure or kill a human (the maximum force survived by a human on a rocket sled was 46.2G for the record) and surely wouldn't be considered standard operating procedure for just approaching a planet, especially if you were carrying passengers.

I remember saying a while back that they should at least put them on rails and have them perform a looping sequence long enough that you cant they're scripted, 20 minutes long or so.

a bug if you ask me, like 2 trying to be in the same place you see where they colide and you hit something. thats where 1 should be but in the instance there is 2

I like to think that the orbital glide is an extension of the FSD. So the pilot isn't actually slowing down that much.

The movement capital ships are showing isn't very realistic, unless all the crew are in the very center. Would there be any serious advantage with the movements that are practical? While turning to keep a ship's broadside one target or another would be nice, couldn't cap ships match manoeuvres in space?

It's not magical. We already have g-suits here in 2017. It's not unfathomable that in a thousand years g-suits would be a lot better. Your pilot wears this g-suit.

you know, the G-Suit only protects you from having all your blood forced into the same place, namely your legs - leaving your brain without blood circulation.
Since your brain is actually floating in your head, high-g forces will smash and squeeze it against your skull, causing severe damage. (brain concussion)
so even if the suit will prevent your head beeing ripped off or your neck beeing ruptured, the brain in your head would be smashed to pieces.
