Let's implement a blackout mechanism  A pilot of a nano-phoon orbiting and throwing turns at 9km/s would be blacked out half the time he's in the fight, and maybe even pass out temporarily. Interceptor ships would have their gyro systems hooked up to some highly specialized built-in inertia-flux-capacitor-thingamajiggies to avoid the same effects, and everyone would be happy
C'mon, this is a great idea!
Love,
Aio

would this apply in space? I though that due to gravitational forces the pilots black out while flying. Wouldn't think that would apply in space.
I think the nanobs's are getting a fix soon anywys.

...and you Sir, get an F in physics  No wonder you fell off that horse!
On a more serious note, gravity has nothing to do with inertia and momentum (at least until that unified theory is finally formalized). Acceleration is sometimes expressed in terms of g's [jees], the multiples of gravity, but the gravity itself has nothing to do with it. Pilots in fighter jets black out if they pull a curve that throws them 5-6 g's for a few seconds. The blackout can range from visial impairment to a temporary loss of consciousness.
Implement blackout!

I would also find it extremely uncomfortable to accelerate to several times the speed of light, in a matter of seconds... NERF WARP!

not sure how you could implement it but its an idea to think about in trying to combat the ever growing "riskless even WoW-like" pvp we are all experiencing atm.
maybe a slower warp off or not at all seeing as your passed out and not being able to hold orbit might be something to look at in regards to this... who knows....

Take a look at how fast is shuttle. 625m/s and it gets there quite fast in five seconds or so. Acceleration is around 125 m/s^2. Which is a bit more than 12G's if I'm not mistaken and this is just forward acceleration.
4km/s is another thing and I have no idea how fast Typhoon gets there, I'm guessing that it's less than 30 seconds. In any case, accelerating 30 seconds to get to 4000m/s you're at 13.5G's which not many people could handle. :)
The numbers right now are already pretty high so I'm guessing that all ships have 'inertial dampers' and POD pilot feels no acceleration forces :)

Haha Nerf warp...! Any thoughts on how the liquid in the pod affects the feel of acceleration? I do like the idea of blackouts though... it'd add a new aspect to the game... as long as I don't have to worry about blacking out without a MWD or something it'd be cool.

youre wrong. warping inherently deforms the space around you so that you never go faster than is comfortable. its like taking a bubble of space with you.

It is silly that with technology so far advanced you couldn't compensate acceleration forces.
Combining it with the fact that there is obviously gravity on outposts it is simply stupid. :)

1/ You are un a pod filled with a liquid that is made to reduce the effect of the g's (but even water would be good for that) and shock sustained by the ship in combat. Pods are said to be very sturdy and can sustain such pressures.
2/ There are inertia stabilizers in the game, this means the mass and gravity creation/compensation is possible, therefore, the effect of curves can be suppressed by these systems.
for the 1/, an interesting experience is put an egg inside a water filled bucket (or anything else, I don't know the words for other stuff, closing the stuff should be better), and drop it from like 10 meters, if the bucket (or anything else) did not empty or break, the egg should be safe. Liquid of around the same density than the thing you want to protect is just great for schock compensation.
2/ ******, it's science fiction!
Well, pilots are just not affected by acceleration.
