[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Diane Carey put it well in one of her books (I forget which): gravity is the most important form of life support in Trek. You can live without oxygen for a couple of minutes, or without heat and pressure for something like 30 seconds to a minute. Without gravity control, the first jolt the ship makes (be it a weapons hit or an impulse acceleration) will create the infamous "chunky salsa effect". Or at least fling heavy and/or squishy objects this way and that. That is assuming that IDFs are tied to the general artificial gravity network. And that could very well be a safe assumption. In all likelihood, the loss of artificial gravity is followed 0.47 seconds later by a gigantic fireball VFX. Unless the ship is at standstill to begin with, like Kronos One supposedly was. (If the ship was under acceleration, there's no way the Enterprise or the BoP pretending to be the Enterprise could have launched torpedoes from that angle!) Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
