Question about gravity

Large space stations are spinning to create artificial gravity. Outposts doesn't spin, that means people there live in zero gravity? It's hard life.
Also it means there aren't technology for artificial gravity in ED universe.
Then coffee machines in some ships are usable only at large space stations.
It's bad, because it's hard too observe something in a cockpit without possibility to use.
Are you agree?

People have other underutilized... assets as well, that might fare well in low gravity/acceleration environments.

Here's a question for you to mull over on gravity...

...Gravity exertions by our star, the sun, is the binding force that hold our solar system together, even our largest planet, Jupiter, capitulates to it...

...Field strength diminishes with the inverse square law, whereby if you move to 20 units away from an object that emits a field, like light or gravity, you end up receiving 20 x 20 = 400 times less of that field strength than you would from a position 1 unit away from the source...

...So when we are scraping the surface of the corona of a star with our fuelscoops, how many G are we experiencing being exerted on our ships/cmdr's when we are ostensibly 0 units away from it?

I'm usually swinging around at full throttle in supercruise while fuel scooping, so whatever fraction of light speed that happens to be, likely much more than orbital speed, so likely many negative Gs, assuming normal space effects.

Never mind the spilled coffee.

Anybody in the forward lounge of an Annie would make a much bigger mess if the ship banked hard.

The biggest mystery in this game is how our clocks get synced, due to gravity, distance, and the arbitrary choice of reference for timekeeping. Think about it.

Yeah, but it would be an absolute bummer if you discovered that your NPC pilot had frown old and died 87 years ago as a result of the time dilation you incurred when you were taking a jaunt to hutton.

Apart from which, everyone knows there is a time sync signal in the carrier frequency for the instant comms systems, like the one that sticks 200cr on your head for tfriendly fire, or the one that mission givers use to tell you don't blow up on your way back from the planetary scan mission.

Tthe coffee machine in the phantom (or is it the krait ?) look like a regular filter one from 2021, and the one I own wouldn't work without gravity.
