Inertial dampers

[parmasson]

The airframe / spaceframe / unstreamlined ideas in the CT M-drive thread have me thinking.

My airframe tech 15 fighter can pull a 6g acceleration and I assume at least three to four times that in a turn. This assumes that inertial dampers exist. What is the upper end for dampers? I am figuring that most civilian ships have damping tech to equal their acceleration rating. Might military ships have extra dampers in the acceleration couches?

Once upon a time I would have said that 6G mitigation was the maximum...

but then T4 allowed the compensators to be stacked - there's a fighter in Central Supply Catalogue that has 11G compensators.
It need them since it has a 17G drive

It also allows for only providing compensation to the pilot's workstation - you can extend this to other crew stations, the bridge, or the whole ship if you want (and can fit it in and power it).

Still doesn't beat CT acceleration compensators which mitigate up to 6G of thrust and all lateral "G forces" from turning.
