Re: [GZG] How much acceleration do you need to dodge beams and other weapons?

fighters here.	As for big ships you are going to be lucky to sustain
1.5g and still have crews work.

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.	:-)
