I had a question about a characters g-tolerances over time. Will the character become more resistant to g-forces much like a real pilot would over time? And to add to this will there be equipment such as a better g-suit to help you become more resistant to blacking out / redding out?asked by Chaosbrews

TL;DRCharacters won't gain g-tolerance over time since there are no experience stats, but equipment like g-suits could raise blackout limits, while ships have their own structural limits.

Two questions there. I don't think the characters are going to become more resistant to g-forces over time, because we're not really going with the sense of stats or experience for a character, because when you're playing your avatar it's really you and it's really about your experience, and what you're doing. But having said that there will definitely be different equipment; g-suits, and that kind of stuff that you could buy or upgrade that would potentially increase your g-force limitation. So there's gonna be two levels - one which is the level you'll black out, and two, at a certain point there will be some stuff that ships can't handle because the space frame can't take that much force. So that would be an outer limit where, you know, the cliche version is you turn too fast and rip a wing off - that would be like a World War I example in an old biplane. But we're definitely gonna have some stuff, if you overloaded thrusters on a ship, and in a certain direction or whatever, it could potentially not be as strong as another direction and you could risk hurting your space frame. And then obviously you having a better g-suit could potentially allow you to ride the g's better than you could on the default. So there you go.
