8. And lest I forget, didn't come across the option to stack inertial compensators.

It's in FF&S2 - it is something that was suggested and certainly isn't banned by FF&S1.

This would be book reference 0304, copyright nineteen ninety three, printed January of the next year?
25Gs is in the ballpark of low-tech (early Soviet-bloc) ejection-seat acceleration. Current western systems use 12-14Gs.
If you're pushing your ship that hard, it might only be meant for momentary last-ditch missile evasion, in the expectation that the injuries the crew will definitely sustain will be less than the effects of a direct missile hit.

There's a reason for the "3 ejections limit" for fighter pilots ... because of how much damage accumulates in their spine as a result of the stresses placed on their body by use of the ejection system.

1. Involuntary shrinkage.
2. Tactically, for six second combat round, I'd consider a factor sixteen uncompensated burn in a life or death scenario; but operationally, we're looking at, by default, a six minute turn sustained acceleration, which can't be great for your health.

It could be the average across the six minutes, which means a higher peak but a shorter duration.

Maths don't work out there, since you only go into dogfight mode when in sniffing range.

Inertial compensators are also used in simulators or rides, making them more realistic by creating artificial sensations of acceleration and other movement. The Disneyland ride “Star Tours: The Adventure Continues” is a fair example of this principle.

I worked out damage rules for sustained high g and quickly got real interested in compensators. My current goal is to allow for it in rare circumstances with consequences….
