As they say in The Expanse, “Flip and burn!”

You accelerate toward your target at 1g. Ship is built with the floors toward the engines. Halfway there, you flip the ship around and decelerate at 1g until you reach your target.

The point being, also according to Musk; “The best part is no part. The best system is no system.”

Until The Expanse, I never really thought if there were G-forces in space. What other TV show OR movie even models that?
imagine the boredom of a game which simulated what actual space combat would be like. No more 50-G maneuvers anakin sorry
