I’d assume the whole ship. It’d be odd to have artificial gravity throughout the entire ship, but limit the inertial compensator to certain areas.

How else do you explain the characters not being chunky salsa when they make SSTO in less than a minute?
But my tire pressure was off by 0.5 psi, causing my wheels to slip...
You’re forgetting that they have fancy antigravity units aka repulsorlifts. With these, you don’t need to make them as light as possible anymore and can armor/reinforce it much more easily. Basically when you can ignore gravity and inertia, you don’t have to pay lip service to weight concerns.
They only pretend to be cultured. I mean they riot every other weekend over some soccer match. They just hide it better
Still better than getting cut in half by a door like that poor captain from Starship Troopers.
Wing slap is a serious matter

YES to all the rally Porsches. But I must admit some of these other battlecars give me the fizz as well.
I would be happy too if I was surrounded by piles of nose candy.
I love these; keep it up.
It gets worse with some of the missile projects. Title words are sometimes skipped and other times a letter in the title is capitalized to make the acronym work.
Isn’t Raytheon also working on a solid state laser weapon? I’d figure they could integrate it with the AN/MPQ-53 radar easily enough
As far as I can tell this is a continuous wave laser, not pulsed; good for soft targets, but against something with any sort of armor, its not good enough. Still it shows that Lockheed’s method of beam combination of fiber lasers is paying off.
Damn Brits keep thinking they can add extra vowels to anything they please. We need something like the Boston Tea Party again to purge those filthy vowels from the Murican lexicon.
A fail safe control mechanism is a good idea and I too prefer inorganic nanomachines, just so I can say “Nanomachines, son”. However, I would like to point out that it would likely be easier and more practical atm to engineer a top down solution using modified cells, than create nanomachines from the bottom up.
