RE: Near-Topic: G forces

I would go with about 2g as tolerable for "high g routine".  Mostly
lying
around in acceleration couches using screens/voice activated or side
stick
mounted controls.  You are not going to have folks running around even
in
2g.  Slow walking and lost more sprains strains and breaks.

Thanks to both of you.	The reason I'm asking is because I'm a big fan
of
jump/spacefold type FTL travel PSB.  I was trying to do the math for how
long it would take to accelerate to C if a ship kept withing
human-tolerable
G's (I know, there's more to acceleration to C than that,  but it gives
a
rough guesstimate).  LOOOOONG time.....
