Time to pull a Fletcher.

[RmJ]

Alright. So. I was watching Gundam and one thing I admired about the show was its acknowledgment of weightlessness in space. Never on the ships do they have gravity. The massive habitats and stations do because they have a centrifuge with which they generate gravity through an orbit.

After talking to many players and seeing how people RP their ships, it is under a general consensus that only capital ships and transports would have artificial gravity.

My query:

What kind? Why? How?

My theory is that which is reminiscent of Dead Space. They have gravity plating which works like a tractor beam. It exerts a gravitational/force field pull on what ever is above the individual plating. So let's set it to pull at 1G and let's assume that the field extends to what ever is a solid massive object above it (The ceiling). It seems very crude and would be prone to horrific accidents.

What do you guys think?

Fletcher watches Gundam? Aha I just got done watching Gundam Unicorn Eps 1-3

Um yeah well since I am doing a simulator Gundam Cross over with Orbiter there is alot of things that freelancer fails at in regards to physics.

Even in Gundam the original TV show low orbit combat is the most dangerous thing anyone would do. They showed it a little bit but the truth is the only way for any lighter craft to be able to escape the pull of the gravity mass it would require more thrust per mass then any has the ability to pull away.

So in Freelancer this is the same. Not even our fighters could avoid being pulled back into the planets gravity wells without having to burn constantly 6/1 it's weight. Too, the closer you're the longer you have to burn.

Gravity on ships basically goes into the gyroshere and center of mass. But the problem with Discovery Mod is that science isn't really welcome in a science fiction theme.
