Oh please OP, where are all robots controlled by Thargoids and you know it.
An Argument in Defense of Artificial Gravity
- Thread starter Colonial Air Force
- Start date
I addressed that a minute ago, but your helmet isn't high pressure. Assuming you wear one at all, which most pilots don't seem to do. Then againm, maybe that's why all I see is a decapitated body in my seat when I look around in VR.
Also, as far as tech advancing in the next 1000 years, I mean... we don't even have rear view mirrors anymore, or computers than can autoland without taking up 1 ton of space.
Robots or holograms, yes. Thargoid simulations.
Quantum displacement fields,in the future we learned how to manipulate atoms,shrouding them in alternate universes to protect us from dangerous G's.
Either that or space monkeys.

In a sense, this is why we don't die when using the FSD. It's folding space (more or less). But since we have upgradable thrusters (and somehow, maximum velocities), that doesn't work "as written" in the game.
Plus, again, there are other side effects. The g-accelleration ones are definitely the most dangerous, though.
Space monkeys, though? Yes.

Except it isn't
Artificial Gravity is an easy thing to say, less easy to implement (in the star trek way without rotation). Gravity plating is clearly not a thing in the ED universe because if it were our space stations would look very different, so if possible (and as we all agree accelerative g-forces push the bounds of credibility) we need to find a plausable solution which allows for those g-forces to be reduced to survivable levels without gravity plating on the floors compensating for inertial changes.
Current technology allows for such a device, it's a shock absorber, or damper if you prefer. It takes a shock load & spreads it over time to reduce the peak load transfer, exactly as the OP describes in the egg rocket experiment.
In my original reply in this post I mentioned frameshift technology. That, when in supercruise, answers this question because the ship isn't moving, space is. So I suggest a similar concept could potentially be included in the life support system to help the pilot survive what would otherwise be a 'kleenex moment'
Unless genetic engineering makes us look like Colossus and similarly makes all of our innards out of steel, it really doesn't.
Going through the pages of this thread, I'm not getting this impression anymore.
I'm really not sure what we do in boost, but straight line acceleration probably isn't so much the issue. Boost turns could be bad, but humans have survived some fairly insane g briefly.
Fruit... I guess we don't ship too many bananas, and most of the mass is really packaging!
Not much of a "defense" if I don't insist that my premise is accurate. Which I believe it is.
I just don't care what the game says, and at the end of the day, this does not ruin my enjoyment of anything. I'm not bothered by other opinions or beliefs in here. It's all good.
46.2g is the most a human has ever experienced and survived, and he only did that once. Repeated instances, and instances where it would be higher (like going from reverse to max boost speed) would be unpleasant. And deadly. And then, yeah, make a turn....
I guess at least the biowaste will be completely liquid by the time it arrives!
There is no artificial gravity and no inertial dampeners, that is definite, official, lore. The use of very advanced genetic
There's nothing particularly outrageous about that notion, if you accept faster than light travel surely you can accept this other aspect of the lore.

Botox has had a 1000 odd years to come along as well. Didn't you wonder why the expressions are so wooden.
True. Though for my vote, I hope elite-feet do obey local gravity, meaning micro-gravity in normal space / under no acceleration. The differences between flight and SRV performance in different gravities already demo for me, that 'no artifical gravity' = much more interesting. No idea which way it'll go but I personally hope it will be floaty floaty.
I seem to recall the record is possibly in three figures and held by one of my personal heroes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kittinger
Albeit by nearly fatal accident. Incredible guy.
Well my whole premise is that I'm being choosey with the lore anyway.
I put that down to the erectile dysfunction.
Nice! But as officially recorded, anyway, it's 46.2g.
Something I thought about last night: passengers
I kept mentioning fruits and vegetables, but we also carry people. And some of them are sensitive, whiny jerks who don't even like it when I accidentally scrap the paint on the mailslot. I'm pretty sure they're not okay with being compressed into goo.

Have a look at the Espanse, that's a nice touch used in there to allow human body to sustain high G maneuver without killing the crew. Love that show
Yeah, I have a somewhat hidden clause when shipping stingy passengers: No magnetic field, no seat belts and the luxury bucket for your toilet emergencies. I slap the waiver in their faces before embarking without letting them read thru, blaming it on 'tight schedule'
.
In the Lore and the manuals of the previous games the seats are Silastoplaston pilot's seats which have the effect of the pilot being immersed in liquid to mitigate the G forces.
From the Manual for the Eagle Long Range Fighter (Mk I)
And in the novels there are instances where people using mag boots to move about a ship when it manoeuvres are gib-a-fied
Throw in the genetic engineering Pilots get and well as Performance enhancers, and other things like that, the problems have been considered even if it is handwavioum Silastoplaston that is the an

It's somewhat sad to think that in the year 3303 no one could figure out a way to negate gravity using superconductors(http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/38164000/gif/_38164768_anti_gravity_gra2300.gif) or some super fancy quantum field manipulation and that all the aliens except 2-3 races left the milkyway and that seemingly out of the thousand earth like worlds in the galaxy none developed its own industrial society.
But hey its a game, in which we can scan a system and can instanly get almost all the information about all its stellar body's and their composition in percentage but still need to use our naked eye to find anything alienlike on those planets.
So in the end it's just a space game that wanted to be realistic using the current public knowlege about how the universe works.
Or the short version :
