[Meta discussion]Acceleration Drives
 
#17
Well, the Nova's drive allows them to coast at speed with it turned off.... and well enough that the crew can climb out and spacewalk to do emergency repairs since they have the same velocity as the spacecraft, and don't have to worry about falling across the drive field.

Best way to counter the G of acceleration is the use the onboard gravity field, which works with the mass envelope concept. Even acceleration drive ships have one, after all.... and there's no reason it can't me manipulated to counteract the acceleration of the main engines, or isolate the contents inside the hull entirely.

In Star Trek, the Inertial Dampeners are a seperate system from the engines, there's no reason why it can't be the same in Fenspace.
