Refer to: <a href="/node/4704">Time to Void Jump Speed </a>.<br /><br />I've been thinking about the difference between ADF 1 and 1g.<br /><br />and in a Frontier where the inertial screan exists I can easily imagine the tech behind the inertia screen being used as a dampening feild on a ship travelling at 1 ADF or higher. Lets face it the warships have upto 5 ADF and yet the crews still do their skills: gunners still operate their guns, engineers still do damage control and etc. even at 4-6g equivellent they're able to perform their skills. In the interest of game balance though I'd rule that inertia screens cant be activated withing the dampening field lest it short out<br /><br />In fact starliners rigorously screen and check for inertia screens and secure them in a locker lest some idiot activates it "just to see"<br /><br />This will simplify things and we can just use 1ADF most of the time. However, its equally likely that quite a few trap freighters dont have the dampening field and are forced to move at 1g most of the time.<br /><br />Could even have a plot device where the players get a ship but it lacks the dampening field, enforcing all sorts of problems and trade off till they could come by a dappening field.<br />
