Lower space staion gravity for ships

Recommended Posts

I have a ship designed such a way, that it can take off from any planet and moon with some load.
It's a combination of vertical boosters and hovers calculated specificly that way to optimize fuel usage and effectiveness.
But this ship can't take off from a space station! 😟
Because space stations have 1g gravity, pulling ship as hard as Alioth, and much harder, than any of moons out there.
I would suggest changing space station gravity for something like the max moon gravity, or even entirely disable it when you are trying to take off using vertical boosters.

I recommend having enough vboosters that you can float your ship at 2g

 

That said. Artificial Gravity should have an off switch and lore.

Why do our ships and space stations have gravity at all? what material or element creates it?  Why can't i just turn it off on a space station if I dont want to have gravity there (like for a maintenance dock)

Actually now you mentioned it, you can turn it off in jetpack mode (not for the whole station, but for yourself).
It seems like we just need some similar mechanic for ships
