No, because you can't "feel" such acceleration under normal circumstances anyway.
But don't take my word for it though; Ben's going to come theory-craft it for you. Be patient.

Those came out, so that's pretty unfair.
But I suppose… Freelancer became a pretty decent game once Chris was no longer ruining it. Hell, even Daikatana had some actual potential but the umpteen engine changes and some of the silly production snafus (recording the wrong name for the protagonist and laughably large projectile textures being famous examples) just meant they ran out of time and were overtaken by the competition.
So for a $137 million project that likes to tout "openness", it's interesting that since 2.6 was released to Evocati yesterday, backers have no clue what's in it. Particularly it doesn't contain Star Marine; and CIG never even mentioned it.
Meanwhile, some backers are spreading false rumors that it is released.....just because they claim to have seen some file assets in the download.

It doesn't? Well, here you go.
I have access to an Evocati account; as do two of my close sources. Star Marine is 100% NOT in this build. I said so yesterday. EVERY SINGLE ONE of my CIG/RSI sources have also confirmed it.
There is no confusion. There is no rumor. It's not in it.
When in doubt, ask Ben Parry.

Hilarious. Like truly hilarious.
When did you play it?
How did you access it?
When did you update?
Did they push it today?

Rolls eyes (at mad backers).
Until it appears on my launcher client for download, there is *nothing* as far as I am concerned.
Once it does appear, then I can see for myself.
Is this attitude of mine so unusual?

Ninja'd, but Oh my.........
Edit: I don't give a ripe garlic fart about Star Marine, all I'm interested in is the changes to the flight model - still, after all the fuss about Star Marine, this is a bit of a corker!

If the ship you're walking around on pitches hard enough to red-out the pilot, you'd expect unrestrained passengers to be pancaked on the ceiling, not walking around as if nothing happened. Of course there's also artificial gravity, but if the pilot is experiencing inertial effects, so should the passengers. As far as I can tell it's the trade-off of the much-lauded local physics grids, which are less about simulating physical forces in a coherent, fidelitous way and more about making the computational complexity manageable.
The sensible thing would of course be to not have the pilot feel any inertial effects, but then, this is a game where you can get a redout by spinning out in your golf cart, so they've pretty firmly decided to not be even remotely realistic with any of it.

If that is true, then how come this is not a thing in the ususal SC channels? Why would it be kept hidden? NDA or not.

Right. Which is why I said you can't feel it now under normal circumstances in the game anyway, since it's not implemented. In the current multi-crew ships, you don't feel any of those effects while flying it. So there's no reason for the other crew/passengers to feel it either.
And the "local physics grid" is more about character movement modeling inside the ship.
Gee willikers, I thought things were winding down!
Tonight, I'm off to play boardgames with my mum, though, so The Discourse will have to wait until tomorrow.
WRT Star Marine, contents of evocati builds are NDA'd, but also I don't work in CS, QA or production, so why would I know?
WRT the physics, I'm happy to unpack what I was getting at if it's of interest to anyone besides Derek. Still SC relevant as it's about local physics grids. Say the word and I'll bust out the wall o'text.

Maybe because you can't prove a negative?
Also, as I've said to all backers, why not just ask CIG? How hard is that?
It is irrelevant what some people choose to believe; you simply can't change the facts.
ps: Ask Ben.

Oh wow. Really. Coming from a dev that has spent many many pages discussing other aspects of the game... Prolly as good as a confirmation SM is not in in this build, tbh. Gobsmacked if true.

Really not the case. I could talk about a bunch of things related to tech that Star Marine uses, but I don't really pay attention to what gets switched on or off for a specific test build. I only even know the dates for them if I'm likely to hold up the release, I actually thought this one was out in a week or so.

With respect, you are seriously telling us that you do not have a say at all about which part of your hard work goes into a specific test build or not. And therefore that any build related deadlines for delivery of your work, or their priorities, are in essence invisible/irrelevant to you unless in the critical path?

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
Actually it makes perfect sense that Ben wouldn't know that. He's an engine dev - not a project manager or team lead.

Exactly how far down in the food chain one has to be to NOT know (or be consulted about) that your work goes into a the frikking first ever Star Marine playable build, Jenner?
