I've only seen the first Iron Man, but he appears to have far more than a single G of acceleration. Enough that, realistically, a human would spill out as tomato soup when landing.

OK, I took a second try at the Milano. I took all your suggestions into account, but I still think SM +6 is the right size for it, so I freed up some space by eliminating the Contragravity Lifter and taking the weapons down a size (they never seemed all that powerful). You're right that there's more than 2 seats on the bridge, but only 2 of those seats were control stations, so I added in passenger seats to represent the rest of the bridge. I can't remember if there were 4 seats or 5 all together, but with the way GURPS Spaceships scales, it was either add 2 seats or 6, so I went with 2. I think there were only 4 seats total anyway, as I recall, Groot always stood on the bridge. I also converted the X-Ray Lasers to Particle Beams, as per your suggestions. I used the smaller systems rules from Spaceships 7 to fit the weapons and passenger seats into one system, and, from the same book, I added a maneuver enhancement, because the Milano seemed extremely maneuverable, and I wanted to keep it's air handling at +5. Anyway, here's my second draft of the Milano.

Milano

Front Hull

[1-2] Nanocomposite Armor, dDR 16, $1M
[3] Control Room (2 Control Stations, C8 Computer, Comm/Sensor 6), $600K

(2-3!!) 2 Major Batteries (2 10 MJ Particle Beams, Fixed Mount), $300K
[5] Maneuver Enhancement, $150K
[6] Habitat (1 Cabin), $100K

Center Hull

[1-2] Nanocomposite Armor, dDR 16, $1M
[3-5] Cargo Hold, 15 Tons
[6, Core] Habitat (Lounge, Bunkroom), $200K

[3] Engine Room, $30K
[4] Fuel Tank (1 Week of Hyperspace Travel), $300K
[5!] Hyperspace Drive, FTL-1, $1M
[6!] Hot Reactionless Thruster, 2G, $300K
[Core] Fusion Reactor, 2 Power Points, 600 Years Endurance, $1M

He slams into the ceiling at 10% power; and hovers at 1%. So if his thrust is quadratic in power, he can probably hit 10G. If it's cubic (not sure why it would be) then he can hit 4.5g or so. If it's linear, he's soup. In reality it probably means he can hit a pretty impressive acceleration without much regard to current velocity. We know he's supersonic, and a ridiculously cursory internet search suggests Mach 2 to Mach 5 in bursts.
