You don't actually need artificial gravity here, unless the species had wildly different requirements. These ships can accelerate constantly and turn by shifting the virtual gravity well about, so the inhabitants are always falling in the same relative plane. They need only be in free-fall if in orbit (or station-keeping in another gravity well).
