How will gravity be handled in spacecraft? Are they all assumed to have artificial gravity all the time, or can it fail due to enemy fire, etc.?asked by Lord Wah

Okay, that's a great question. So generally most of the ships have artificial gravity in them, but there will definitely be cases where perhaps the life support, you have a hull breach or something gets broken, and then in that case all of a sudden it'll be zero G instead of one G or close to one G, which is kind of what the default setup is. So even in the prototype right now, if you walk around on the carrier, it's got artificial gravity. The moment you walk outside the mouth of the hangar bay, all of a sudden you're in zero G. So it's kind of already in the system, and it's just going to be more a matter of whether we turn it off and on, because we control where the gravity is in areas of boxes.
