Need to talk my wife into letting me get one of these..

Accelerating, decelerating, thrusting and turning all create "gravity". Only when your ship is absolutely still would you become weightless.

Man has spent over 200,000 years trying to beat or escape "gravity" and as soon as he does, he wants to make some more?

He also has spent about the same amount of time, trying to get his own way with the female of the species.

Arry.

By this logic, 75% of all the 'gravity' we'd feel while flying would be due to us pitching up, which half the time is plastering us against our seat. Closest you'd get to that is sitting in a normal office chair.

I don't mean to be a naysayer. That chair looks like a lot of fun, but doesn't anyone else think that sitting in that would pull you out of the game a bit? I'd feel like it'd be detracting from my experience if I were to dock and still be upside-down in that thing.

It's a game design decision I guess. Does cabin environment have gravity or not, and based on what telemetry?

There's no upside down in space by the way. Unless of course your standing on your head...

Why can't ships have gravity emitters like in Star Trek?

If they had that tech I don't think there would be any reason for the stations to spin.

Because there's no scientific basis for it.

But.......... there's no gravity in space. There is no feeling of upside-down. Imagine if you had to dock and use the bathroom? You'd potentially have to climb in and out of that thing sideways, or worse.

You can travel 100 LY away from the Sun and would still be affected by it's Gravity. No matter how miniscule you would steel "feel" its affects. Strange but true.

So all those videos we see of astronauts floating around in a cabin is actually them slowly falling to one side of the ship?

 

[Judz]

You can believe it or not, that is entirely up to you, if you have read A Brief History of Time then that states it. You're talking about weightlessness by the sound of it.

I know that DB said about something like that, but then I got wondering about the way that the FSD works. If it is working by 'squishing' space ahead of you, letting you pass through and then restoring it behind you, then is it not using gravity to bend spacetime? If so then they have the technology to create/manipulate gravity thus there could be artificial gravity?

Just a random thought while I travel some stupid distance just to scan a star LOL

There is a vid somewhere on youtube showing what would happen as you get to LS, and its more or less what you see when you enter hypercruise, albeit not as exact and intense as it would be.
