G-Force feature?

[Greg the Peg-Leg Preg Dreg]

Something I was thinking might be an interesting, and immersive feature would be for the devs to add is G Forces. So hear me out my idea is ships have a new core module that can be upgraded that is an inertial dampener you can upgrade to enhance it's "G Threashold" and expirence drawbacks such as reduced speed. Once said threashold is passed the pilot of the ship NPC and CMDR alike starts expirencing G forces and suffers the possibility of passing out. I think that the Pilot's threashold should be something you can "level up" or something of the like.I feel this would add a new level to immersion, plus changing how we fight, you could possibly force a target into making blackout manoeuvre. I do not think that the Pilot should expirence G Force in SC mostly because you aren't really moving. I don't know weather this would be something worth adding, I'm not even sure if I'd like such a feature (simmilar to docking fees) but what are your oppinions?
EDIT
So there are G forces in the game, glad to know, guess my Cobra 3 just isn't fast enough because every time I make a planetary landing i get almost directly above the base and use a tight corkscrew to loose altitude.

Use a hairdryer to simulate wind.

Have your friend come up and punch you when you take too many G forces.

Oh you meant IN-GAME.

Nah

Black- and redouts are already in the game, but they are set at limits that are rarely reached (something like +15/-6G). The normal flight model doesn't really allow going near there, but you can see an effect if you take a sharp turn during the glide phase of a surface approach.

The Elite universe doesn't have technology like artificial gravity or "inertia dampeners", so that won't work either.

Already ingame, if you tune engines and make your ship really fast its easily reachable.

It would generally be limited to planet flight only, since space is a vacuum. I'm not a scientist, but I don't think you would actually notice any form of propulsion in space. You could dead stop from going faster than light and probably not feel a thing. Well, depending how close you are some certain celestial objects I guess.

Kinda also been a pet peeve of mine is how movies and games always depict space ships as these loud vehicles. Star Wars... Cowboy Beebop... It's a vacuum! You could be playing Slayer and shoving cats in a washing machine and noone would hear you doing it!

Actually The laws of inertia do not require gravity or atmosphere, if you move in any direction other thanyour prograde vector you will feel G force. because your body wants to continue moving but the ship is in the way.
If you went form the speed light to zero you'd die it would be like falling at the speed of light do you think you could survive hitting the ground almost decellarating in no time?

Well I certanly won't argue, since I understand it very little. How does your body sense movement without any interaction with gravity?

It isn't really gravity it is inertia the fact that you are moving in one direction and want to continue in that direction, as you change direction you are pressed in whatever direction you were moving untill you completely decellerate in that direction it just feels like gravity.
You could probably get a better explaination from google but that's how I understand it.

I remember doing it in a Viper 3. Thought the game had crashed at first

Well I don't think there'd be much wind in space, unless I have a hull breach, then the hair dryedr would have to change direction. tips might work for WT though and I do have a friend who is probably all to eager to punch me!

Funny or not, but you can simulate a star heat while you scoop by using a local electric heater. :)

It got pretty cold last days, so I put it close while playing Elite. And while scooping I caught myself thinking: "This VR is really immersing - I can feel the star's heat!"

Reaching a high enough G to black out is diffult in space, but quite easy in planetary gravity. Next time you're during an Approach Glide, try a few hard turns - you'll get a G-Force effect and may even black out.

[ZombieHunter]

You can gray out and slighty red out when landing on planets during the glide phase. In space combat this would be super annoying.

If you disable flight-assist, you can hit higher posative and negative G loads in manuevers, to see it yourself. But, as has been said, it's in-game. According to the lore, by 3300 most pilots are filled with nanodrugs that compensate for excessive g (and allow you to operate on high-g worlds) and the flight seats compensate as well.

Thanks for the info. I'd wondered how come I could survive landing on extreme high-g worlds without any physical effects. Or survive pulling a 10+ G turn in my Dirty Drive Vulture.

You don't move while going in FTL. Spacially your ship is utterly motionless, it's just Spacetime that is moving for you. While in the warp bubble of the FSD you feel absolutely nothing.
