What about inertial dampers then? The ships in FT must have them
otherwise
the accelerations they make would liquify the crew. I don't know if
anyone
has worked out the G force of a Thrust of +3 but I imagine its got to
be pretty high and if we take Star Trek or Honor Harrington then we're 
in the region of 500g. You have to have inertial dampers or you're
salsa.

If you have inertial dampers why can't you use them to remove your
rotational inertia?
