But do you want to have entire crews, who presumably are on rotating
shifts,
constantly suited up in tech to offset the 9-10 G pressures?

Of course, running at 5 G isn't going to be any fun for anyone on a
ship,
esp damage control peeps who are trying to get from one area to another
with
their rolls of duct tape.  :-)
