I got this message while I was boosting and twisting away in my Vulture last night. I've never seen this before, is this new? How does it affect me or my ship?
G-force limit exceeded
- Thread starter stocko1111
- Start date
no its not new been in since beta, the only affect is the screen blanks out.
Ah cool, thanks. It must just be that I've never made a manouver that's been able to cause this before.
I've done it once in a Vulture. I think I boosted while using downward thrusters and pitching up as hard as I could.
Post a video of it when you do.
Current ships known to be able to pull G-force limit turns if upgraded right:
Sidewinder, Eagle, Viper, Vulture, Clipper.
All tested personally, I expect the FDL could do it if upgraded with minimum weight and max thrusters. Adder & sidewinder maybe too.

Cobra can also.
Same here. I thought it was cool when I read that it was in the game, but after not seeing it for so long I was convinced that it wasn't actually in the game until I finally saw it for myself. And it hasn't happened again since.

I've had the screen start to red out on me a few times in my FDL but I haven't hit the limit. I didn't even know that was a thing until just now! I'll have to do some testing to see if I can when I get back from Wolf 406.
Most ships can perform maneuvers that will prompt a g-force limit exceeded message.
I've seen it in a Cobra, an empty T-6, and a Clipper, as well as all the dedicated combat vessels.
We must all be machines in the future
Radical genetic modification and near universal cybernetics are sure to be vastly easier than some of the technologies taken for granted in the Elite universe.

The whole G force limit is a bit too gimmicky in this game. Consider the fact that in a Cobra, from zero to max boost speed will give you roughly 23G :/
0 to 430 m/s in less than 2 secs

This is an interesting point. I would initially agree, but on further thought:
A) There is no need for the Star Trek style inertia dampers as the FSD method involves the ship riding inside a bubble moving faster than light, but the ship itself does not move. One assumes a similar situation for hyperspace jumps.
B) The Remlok suits may well be 'active' in the same way fighter pilot flight suits are, providing some G-force protection. Although they would obviously make benefit from technology available in 3300's.

I'm not talking about FSD, just normal space & boosting. Hey it's all fantasy & just a game, but honestly, no point trying to make rational excuses, maneuvers in these ships would kill anyone made of flesh and blood. G loading in these ships are beyond extreme..
