G-Force:
The unit of measure used is the g- the acceleration due to gravity.
1. The g-force acting on a stationary object resting on the Earth's surface is 1 g (upwards) and results from the resisting reaction of the Earth's surface bearing upwards equal to an acceleration of 1 g, and is equal and opposite to standard gravity, defined as 9.80665 metres per second squared, or equivalently 9.80665 newtons of force per kilogram of mass.
2. The g-force acting on an object in any weightless environment such as free-fall in a vacuum is 0 g.

I love wolfram alpha.

Given that my frigate can decelerate from full warp velocity (6 AU/s) in about 15 seconds, my ship is experiencing 6.078e9 g's of acceleration. 6,078,000,000 times the force of Earth's gravity. Astronauts on the way to orbit get about what, 3 g's? or one-three millionth the acceleration a minutes old EVE player can get?

Alright yes, the Alcumbiere drive and what have you.

Regardless, when my firetail hits 1500 m/s in 6 seconds flat, that's 26 g's. So thank goodness for eggs full of snot.

but what about the rest of the crew?...I don't think it would be very usefull if your crew were exploded/compressed/crushed/and other body extremes every time you move your boat about.

And it'll be quite a cleaning bill every time you hit station.

max you can do in normal life is 10G
and you need a g-suit for that
and will probably suffer blackeyes etc

For functioning under heavy Gs like a fighter pilot 10-12 is probably the max but shouldn't cause any injury unless they black out and crash.

The highest survived G-force that can be reliably calculated was 179.8 when David Purley slammed into a wall qualifying for the British Grand Prix.

The highest voluntary G-force test subject was John Paul Stapp who strapped himself into a rocket sled for the experiments dozens of times. The highest run being to 46.2 G. It did result in massive bruising and two detached retinas.

Young one, you bring tears to my eyes.

Gravity is an acceleration. Hence, "Acceleration due to gravity". Pressing the accelerator on your car is an acceleration. It can be measured (as gravity) in units of M/s*s (Meters per seconds squared).

A rate of acceleration can be compared to 1g, the rate at which you would accelerate in freefall on earth.

I really hope you were trolling.

Acceleration, and gravity, are two separate energies.

Gravity is the effect of an object curving space-time, given Einstein's theory correct.

There is little to no gravity in the void between planets in a solar system.

Acceleration and gravity are not "energies". Gravity is one of four fundamental forces (according to our current model). Applied forces cause accelerations, it doesn't matter where the force comes from, the acceleration produced will be identical. So when we talk about acceleration due to gravity, we are referring to the quantity "9.8 meters per second per second". Gravity still exists in space but the magnitude of the force is greatly reduced, for reasons you could learn in a freshman level physics course. In fact, you can calculate your ships acceleration produced by an afterburner in the game by viewing the afterburner's attributes. The forces produced are 1,500,000N, 15,000,000, and 150,000,000 by the 1MN, 10MN and 100MN afterburners. This is somewhat odd as the MN is the unit "meganewton" which ought to be 1,000,000 N, 10,000,000 N, and 100,000,000 N respectively.

All of this said, it is almost assured that the ships have some sort of inertial dampeners to reduce the acceleration experienced by the crew during sub-warp flight.

If everything in physics is correct, if you can control gravity and create your own area of gravitational effect like planets and other bodies do. Except using very little mass to do it, you could create your own area of time and space or bent space and then move that around on the fabric of the universe and experience no Gforce.

You would not be accelerating the space around would be and that does not have mass? So we also get over the problem of mass ever increasing as it reaches light speed needing unlimited energy.

Also to the op stating how does he not experience G's when his ship accelerates to 1500 m/s in 6 seconds, that is simple its called a micro WARPdrive.

Eve-O forums: Where people can have a discussion about physics, while completely disregarding the fact that spaceships in Eve traverse through a luminous space aether rather than a vacuum.

Eve's luminous space aether causes resistance, and so velocity and time become absolute rather than relative, contrary to Newton and Einstein's laws and theories about our universe. So unlike in our universe, constant thrust is required to maintain velocity.

I would say that seeing as how Eve is set in a universe that isn't bound by Newtonian physics (and relativity), theres no point in thinking about how many newtons of force you would experience as your ship accelerates.
