I think Rotating Frame G-Experience would be a valid enhancement if you want to go for realism.

Blown up or no, my point is that they don't necessarily have to go far afield to have those environments available for training, especially if there's a place purpose-built for high-budget, short-time-span tourism/dversion. Like the luxurious capital space habitat described. Last edited by jeff_wilson; 03-19-2011 at 01:28 AM. |

For slow RPM rotations, like in an O'Neill size habitat, the coriolis(sp?) effect should be neglible, but for much smaller habitats it will be an issue. |

Re: O'Neill Cylinders
There are rotating habitats in the Solar System, others besides the Capitol.

Re: O'Neill Cylinders
Certainly it should. The Fleet Protection deployment involves a lot of boarding and inspection on smaller-sized colonial habitats. (Besides ships and asteroids.)
