[GZG] Acceleration

[<laserlight@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The list is too quiet and I'm trying my hand at writing, so looking for some informed input here.
Does anyone here have any comments on what reasonable acceleration limits might be? Thinking of using a magnetic or perhaps gravitic accelerator to boost a Full Thrust missile, so the main questions are:

a) would the mag fields involved in throwing the missile be likely to screw up the missile sensors / hardware? If so, can we get around that with some (mild/moderate/major?) modifications to the missile package? Is something likely to melt?

b)what kind of physical accelaration can a missile reasonably be expected to stand? I'd like to get a "we can currently build stuff that will take X g's and in theory we can get it up to Y g's".
